ParanormalEntity is a 2009 American supernatural horror film written, directed by and starring Shane Van Dyke (in his feature directorial debut) and produced by The Asylum in 2009. It is one of many films dubbed as a "mockbuster", a movie designed to capitalize on the success of a more popular film. Paranormal Entity is a knockoff of the successful low-budget horror film Paranormal Activity. The film was followed by indirect sequels 8213: Gacy House in 2010, Anneliese: The Exorcist Tapes in 2011, and 100 Ghost Street: The Return of Richard Speck in 2012.The film's premise is that of a series of allegedly factual surveillance videos documenting the downward spiral and eventual supernatural rape and murder of a woman named Samantha Finley.
A notice reveals that a young man named Thomas Finley has been convicted of raping and killing his sister, and murdering Dr. Edgar Lauren, a psychic. He claimed a demon had committed the murders. He was sent to prison, where he committed suicide.
Samantha Finley (Erin Marie Hogan), her older brother Thomas (Shane Van Dyke), and their mother Ellen (Fia Perera) believe that Ellen has been making contact with her deceased husband, David. Soon the family claims that a demon is haunting them. At first, they think it is David, but after a series of horrible attacks on Samantha, they suspect otherwise.
One night the camera records Ellen sitting up in bed and leaving her bedroom. She walks into the living room, where she writes something on a piece of paper. She then crumples the paper and walks back down the hallway. Thomas finds the paper under Samantha's pillow and sees that it spells out the word "MARON". Thomas suggests that Ellen and Samantha stay at a hotel while he sets up traps around the house with bells and wire. When the bells ring, Thomas investigates. The wire and bell outside his door are ripped from the wall and thrown at him. Thomas shuts himself in the bedroom and the demon bangs on his door.
Thomas receives a phone call from Ellen, who is in hysterics after the demon apparently followed them and attacked Samantha. Upon returning to the house, Samantha hunches over in pain. Thomas awakens at night and finds his sister missing. He finds the attic ladder hanging down and ascends it to find her standing there in her bra and panties, in a trance. Upon awakening, she is unable to remember what happened.
Thomas asks the previous owner of the house if anyone named Maron ever lived there, but the previous owner does not recognize the name. Thomas hears Samantha screaming and rushes to the bathroom to find her lying topless in the bathtub, severely traumatized. Ellen wakes after hearing thuds from outside. In the living room camera, she is seen standing in the archway with a knife before returning to her bedroom. Thomas wakes up after hearing a door slam shut, and finds that Ellen has slit her wrists, weapon still in hand. She is taken to the hospital.
Thomas and Sam are left at home when psychic, Dr. Edgar Lauren (Norman Saleet), arrives. He explains that there is a powerful dark entity in the home and that Samantha is the focus of its attention. He says that the entity gained entry into the home when Ellen attempted to contact the spirit of David. Dr. Lauren explains that "maron" is Old Germanic for "nightmare", a creature similar to the incubus, a demon that rapes women in their sleep. The psychic agrees to help evict the entity and the video fades to black.
After a pause, the camera's POV shows the doctor's bleeding head and blank face, fallen on the floor and "looking" toward the lens. Thomas is heard panicking. He grabs the camera after hearing Samantha's scream and runs to her bedroom. The house is in disarray. Thomas finds his sister naked and levitating in her room, covered in blood, being raped by an invisible demon. He drops the camera and runs out of the room to find help. A gurgling noise is heard off-screen, and an unseen figure (heavy breathing can be heard), picks up the camera and focuses it on Samantha's lifeless face.
Three indirect sequels were released, each one year after the other and also to coincide with the Paranormal Activity films, entitled 8213: Gacy House, Anneliese: The Exorcist Tapes and 100 Ghost Street: The Return of Richard Speck. All of these films follow the same elements as the Paranormal Activity films such as the films being a documentary style movie and involves different people experiencing supernatural events from unseen entities.
Here is my thing about going to the movies, I rarely get to go other than to family movies. Never mind that my wife and I have seen a rated R movie in over a year. Even more, I have not seen a horror movie in the theater since The Blair Witch Project; which oddly enough does ties into these two movies.
Katie (Katie Featherston) and her boyfriend, Micah (Micah Sloat), are a young couple who recently moved into a two-story tract housein suburban San Diego, California. Katie claims that a ghostly presence has haunted her since her youth and believes that it has followed her to their new home. She hires a psychic, Dr. Fredrichs (Mark Fredrichs), who assesses that she is being haunted not by aghost, but by a demon. He says the demon feeds off negative energy, and its intent is to haunt and torment Katie no matter where she goes. Before leaving, he advises them not to taunt or communicate with the demon, and to contact demonologist Dr. Johan Averies for help. Instead, each night, Micah mounts a video camera on a tripod in their bedroom to record any paranormal activity that might occur while they sleep in the hopes of solving the problem himself.
Samantha Finley (Erin Marie Hogan), her older brother Thomas Finley, and their mother Ellen Finley, are a family who have lost their father David. Ellen tries to contact her husband by writing to him and is overjoyed upon receiving a written response. Soon the family claims that a ghostly entity is haunting them. At first they think it is their father/husband David, but after a series of horrible attacks upon Samantha they begin to suspect otherwise.
That night, Thomas rummages through a toolbox and finds three bells and some thin wire. On the archways outside his bedroom, the living room and the dining room he sets up traps. The idea is that should the entity enter a room the bell on the wire will jingle. When this does eventually occur, Thomas investigates. The wire and bell outside his door are ripped from the wall and thrown at him. Thomas then shuts himself in the bedroom, where the entity bangs on his door.
Thomas awakens at night, finds his sister missing and sees the front door standing open. He searches outside but cannot find her. He later finds the attic ladder hanging down and ascends it to find her silently standing there in a state of undress and in a trance. Upon awakening, Samantha is unable to recall anything from that night.
The following night, Thomas calls the previous owner of the house, asking if anyone under the name of Maron ever lived or died in their home, but the previous owner does not recognize the name. Soon afterwards, Thomas hears Samantha screaming. He rushes to the bathroom and finds her lying topless in the bathtub, wide-eyed and severely traumatized.
Ellen wakes after hearing thuds from outside. In the living room camera she is seen to stand in the archway for a few minutes before disappearing back into her bedroom. Thomas later wakes up, after hearing a door slam shut, and finds that Ellen has slit her wrists, weapon still in hand. She is then taken to the hospital.
A notice at the beginning of the film revealed that Thomas was convicted of murdering the psychic and raping and killing Samantha. Despite his pleas, he was sent to prison, where he committed suicide sometime later.
Another movie came to mind which made me think as how PA and PE could have worked better and that was Cloverfield. In this movie, we had the one camera and the single P.O.V. for most of the film. In the end, the two remaining survivors turned the camera on themselves essentially saying goodbye before their end. With PA and PE, the camera is put on the counter to record themselves or have to be put down in a certain spot and then the camera operator walks into the shot (More on this in a bit).
(Here is more about the previous bit. ) Normal people in these situation, I believe, would forget to take the care with them in the case of emergencies. I know I was woken up during Hurricane Andrew and recorded the situation because the power went out but this was just short term. Had there been a situation where someone was in danger or a more serious situation, the camera would not be the first thing I would take. PA did it right at the end. Micah wakes after he hears Heather screaming bloody murder downstairs. For once, he left the camera behind. A few seconds later, the screaming stops and the Micah is thrown into the camera in the bedroom. The camera is knocked to the side and then in come Heather but not Heather. She give this weird look the to camera and closes quickly into the camera. The image goes black and we get another title card about what had just happened. Again, I am taken out of the moment.
this is a screen capture from a FRANKO TV (youtuber) that whent into the Weeping Angels Cemetery, witch is abandoned on united states. the image is upscaled in gigapixel AI latest + Adjust AI to enhance the details in the image + enhace overall illumination since this is a white and black night vision image.
in the middle of the night alone that entity appeared right in front of him. so this is real is not photoshop nor anything. will leave a link to the video if you wanna see the original source. original video
At a certain point in the movie Paranormal Activity, the entity writes a message out on a Ouija board. However, I was unable to make out what it said, if anything. It seems this was the only time when the entity tried to convey a message to the family. What did the entity write out? Was it an actual message or was it just gibberish?
