The Entity

Based on the 'factual' events surrounding Doris Blither's poltergeist visitation in 1976 L.A, we are treated to a rather raunchy and pushy ghosty...a tad rapey too.

Plot: Lady (Barbara Hershey) lives with teenage son and two young daughters, is happily working, living her life and attending secretarial school while waiting for her fella to propose, when some invisible, over weight and smelly chap gets a little too frisky and starts raping her. Knowing she's right, but erring on the side of caution, she does what any chick that ain't seen The Exorcist or Poltergeist would, she goes to a therapist (Ron Silver-RIP, The West Wing). He starts all this science mumbo jumbo and that don't work, so some paranormal investigators pop over...then the film gets good.

I saw this film years ago and as an adolescent could understandably barely remember anything but the invisible boob groping. The film is much better than just that, I'll add...though that's well done too.

Fun Fact: Atari made a video game based on the film, but oddly never released it...I wonder why?
