Biggest Swing

The film recovers from its tedious psychiatric middle section when the parapsychologists arrive and validate Carla's experiences.

The Entity starts strong with effective supernatural horror but suffers through a slow, tedious middle section focused on dismissive psychiatric explanations. The film regains momentum in its final act with impressive practical effects and a bombastic climax, though reviewers remained divided on its overall execution.
