When the
movie you’re watching claims that it “contains actual footage”, you’ll know
that you’re watching a found footage film, a horror sub-genre which began with 1999’s
The Blair Witch Project. Nothing
could be more chilling than watching a movie seemingly compiled from real-life
footage of supernatural forces at work to scare and terrify the living. These
movies could be set anywhere, even inside a house, which is the plot of 2009’s Paranormal Entity.
The premise
for Paranormal Entity (not to be
confused with the more popular Paranormal
Activity) is that it’s a film made of actual surveillance footage which
recorded the events that led to the supernatural murder of Samantha Finley.
While her older brother, Thomas, was convicted for the dark deed, the collated
footage showed that a more sinister demon was behind all of it.
Although you
might prefer Paranormal Activity over
this film simply because it’s more popular, Todd Martin from Horror News thinks
otherwise. In his review of the film, Martin called Paranormal Activity (and many other found footage films, for that
matter) “overrated”, and praises Paranormal
Entity for having an interesting premise: “I think that anyone who is
bothered by the thought of an evil spirit invading their home and being
tormented by it will be a little disturbed by the movie.”
Ready to get
scared out of your wits? Paranormal
Entity is one great choice if you want to watch free movies online, most
especially those with an “actual footage” premise.
