Okay, so the other day I was on a total horror movie kick, and I rewatched “The Entity” – you know, the one from the 80s with Barbara Hershey? Super creepy, right? It got me thinking, what other movies are out there that give off that same unsettling, paranormal vibe? I decided to do some digging and here’s what I found out, and the process I took.
Started with the Obvious
First, I hit up the usual suspects – you know Google, I just typed in “movies similar to The Entity”. I got the common movie recommendation sites, all listing pretty much the same stuff.
Checked Out Some Forums
Next, I jumped into some movie forums. Reddit’s horror section is usually pretty good, and I found a few threads discussing “The Entity”. People were throwing around a bunch of names, some I recognized, some I didn’t. I jotted down the ones that sounded interesting. It is much more efficient and helpful than general search results.
Dived into the Recommendations
This is where I spent most of my time. I looked up the movies that kept popping up:
- “Poltergeist” (1982): Definitely a classic, and it has that whole “unseen force terrorizing a family” thing going on.
- “The Changeling” (1980): This one’s more of a slow burn, but it’s got a great atmosphere and a really unsettling story.
- “The Haunting” (1963): An older one, but it’s considered a classic for a reason. It’s all about the psychological horror, which is similar to “The Entity”.
- “Session 9” (2001): This one’s more modern, but it’s got a really creepy, atmospheric vibe.
Watched Some Trailers, Read Some Reviews
I didn’t want to go in completely blind, so I watched a few trailers on YouTube and read some reviews on IMDb. This helped me narrow down my list to the ones that really seemed to capture the spirit of “The Entity”.
Made My Watchlist
Finally, I compiled a list of the movies I’m definitely going to check out. I’m thinking of starting with “The Changeling” – it sounds super creepy, and it is a bit different from the suggestions! So that’s my deep dive into movies similar to “The Entity”. If you’ve seen any of these, let me know what you think! I’m always looking for more recommendations, especially if they’re as terrifying as “The Entity”.
