AICN HORROR: Check out this creepy, brand spankin’ new trailer for ENTITY!
Greetings, all. Ambush Bug here. Though there’s not a Barbara Hershey raping ghost to be seen, this trailer for ENTITY doesn’t look half bad. I’m digging the snippets I’m seeing of the monster and though the trailer seems to give a lot away, I’m left with that “I want to see more” feeling that I rarely get with big budget horror these days. Judge for yourself when you gaze upon the brand new trailer for ENTITY!
Well, what do you think? Look for ENTITY next July 26th in theaters!

...is well edited. Nevertheless, what I saw from the movie looks underwhelming. Been there, watched that.

The 'monster' is the Slender Man.

Damn

For a moment i though it was about the 1980s horror movie with Barbara Hershey.
by AsimovLives
And i noticed i wasn't original in that thought.

... judging by that trailer, the movie looks like a generic screaming girl slamming door sudden noise mysterious shadow snore fest.

After seeing Barbara Hershey in Once Upon A Time, I'd still like to fondle her.
by tonagan
Also, the acting in this looks absolutely atrocious.

And nice shitty acting and PINK blood. Sam Raimi is gonna sue somebody too.

I was wondering when the Slender Man mythos would be thrown into a movie...here it is.

That is all.

Oh, FFS, another film that cashes in on the Slender Man phenomenon.
by AlienFanatic
Sorry, but it looks like yet another cheap indie film with low production values that relies, heavily, upon "creepy" hand-drawn sketches and hysterics. Ambush, I really do admire your absolute love of the genre, and I'm delighted that you get so much pleasure from it, but I'm afraid I'm too old and have seen too many crappy horror films to believe this thing is going to get more than about three stars on IMDB. Personally, I'd rather just go to slendergame.com and D/L a free copy if I want to be creeped out.

For a nearly three-minute trailer, that was surprisingly devoid of a single moment of genuine excitement.

Why are there so, so many crappy films? Is it because even crappy films can make money, ala Roger Corman films? If I were a filmmaker, which I am clearly not, I wouldn't bother to make a movie unless I had something new to say and then only if I knew that I had the skill to really make the film work. So many horror "directors" (yes, I put that in quotes) are so bad at their craft, and have so little new to say that I wonder why they even bother to show their films in the first place. There just aren't that many John Carpenters, Tobe Hoopers, or even pre-LOTR Peter Jacksons out there.

Hey everyone the world didn't end = Good! So we will get to See MoS, Pacific Rim, Star Trek, and Mad Max, Yaaaaay!....
by cameron
..but it also means we'll have to endure Roboflop, mad nick cage being mad with mad hair, and Transformers 4....= not so good.
-
All of the "creepy drawings" and stuff felt very fake and underwhelming. The acting looks pretty shoddy too
-
Quick estimate of this movie and trailer: somebody has access to a RED and a few decent lights, decided not to use a tripod since nobody else uses one now, cast some easy-to-get actors that have all the presence of warm milk and shot a feature basd on a script he wrote when he was nineteen via a vigorous Kickstarter/Indigogo campaign, then got "distribution" via a tiny company no one's ever heard of that mainly deals in foreign sales and On Demand. Why was this worthy of a news blurb here? I could see it if the movie or trailer looked remotely interesting, but there's absolutely nothing here. No sleight against the movie itself, but I could throw a rock up into the air and hit fifty people doing the same exact thing right now. Try harder.
-
Nope. Sorry. Didn't see anything that would make me want to plunk down $8.50 to see this in the theaters.
-
wtf?

Okay I watched an additional ten seconds which were even worse! Are you fucking kidding us Ambush Bug? This makes Paranormal Activity look like E.T.!

Just looks like another on original crappy show nothing movie. I too was hoping it was a remake of the Barbara Hershey movie

Guys, there's an actual larger-budget Slendy film in the works...
by Steven Belcher
It's still an independent film, but it's budget is way higher than this. It's in pre-production. http://www.whatisslenderman.com

The police are pinning it on a homicide. The police are PINNING it... on a HOMICIDE. The police...
by spacehog
I'm getting stuck on the same line raymond shaw up there pointed out. There is no way to make sense of that sentence. It's as though aliens watched every season of Law and Order and then attempted to put together a sentence in English. It's like... all the words are English? And they're in the right order? But they still don't make any sense. It's like Yahoo Serious.
-
When this site encourages exhibition of such shoddy, cheap -- and worse, unoriginal -- shit like this, it demeans its own existence. When a trailer leans this heavily on editing mumbo-jumbo, you know what you're in store for. Don't do that again, AmbushGuy.

It just does. Trust me on this one. Gumby.
-
'treating it as a homicide' would make more sense. Instead it's like they made a conspiracy up on the spot to disappear up its own arse.
-
and....yes...it looks like just about every idea from found footage films seen before. Maybe a digital rental in a couple of years. I'M SO OVER PEOPLE NOT BEING ORIGINAL ANYMORE.

The makers of this piece of shit must be buddy-buddy with Ambush Bug. Only explaination that my eyes were ghost-raped.

Mothman had some good moments in it even if it was not remotely like the events it was actually based on but I've never heard of the 'slender man mythos' (had heard of mothman way back as a kid - long before the richard gere movie came out)

'Mothman Prophecies' with Richard Gere and Laura Linney
by Raptor Jesus
One of my favorite movies. Spooky and thought provoking and quite enjoyable.

'Exorcism of Emily Rose' with Dexter's wife/sister and Laura Linney.
by Raptor Jesus
Outstanding movie. That's two good scary movies for Laura Linney.

Excellent job at creating another movie we'll all feel like we've already seen 666 times.

fuckfuckfuckfuck Maybe everything in horror really has been done to death. Yup - we are finished making horror movies.

like wtf the fuck is with this shit? that was like super uber lame.

Camcorder looking Tripe. Amateur acting. Is a filmic look so hard to achieve ?
by higgledyhiggles
And whats with `pinning` it on a homicide line ? Terrible. This should not be tolerated in cinema.

Excorcism of Emily Rose - Jennifer Carpenter could be a death metal singer
by Darth Macchio
Seriously. As I was watching that movie and she would scream from the very depths of her being and for a long time between breaths, it suddenly occurred to me that Jennifer Carpenter could be a death/thrash metal singer and a damn good one at that. Max Cavalera, Chuck Schuldiner, and even John Tardy would likely be impressed (Chuck from the beyond, of course). Girl's got better screaming pipes than the girl from Otep and also the girl from Arch Enemy. Don't believe me? Watch EoER again for the true possession portions (the horse paddock, outside, etc, etc) - she must have been without a voice for a month after filming but it was still damn impressive when taken in context with female death metal singers.
-
"Horrific" cheezy acting. Terrible editing. Bad soundtrack. Dead spots. This is amateur night at its finest!!! Ambush Bug - this doesn't look half bad? What?
-
Please, stop! It was kind of interesting at first but now it is just plain damn annoying. The second I see it's an FF film, I tune out.
-
with ubiquitous semi-retarded teens/young adults? They must all be summarily rounded up and given I.Q. tests. Anyone below 100 should be processed into Soylent Green. Of course, that would eliminate 95% of the patrons of these boards.

If your shitty rip-off doesn't have a girl with huge juggs in it, then it's not going to work.
by Ironhelix
Because the acting certainly isn't going to carry this film.
-
.... in a no-budget shitty acting high school project kind of way.
-
the bad grammar is an indication of how much thought went into this. Is a shitty exposition voiceover really the clip to use if you're trying to sell your movie? The hamfistedness of the whole thing makes it feel like a parody film.<P> It feels like, after Jacob's Ladder, i've not seen a genuinely disturbing horror film since Blair Witch and [REC].

Slender Man "creators" won't be sueing anyone, unless they sue themselves...
by buggerbugger
...for ripping off the various Scissorman legends. What does the Slender Man do when he catches you, does he offer dieting advice? At least the Scissorman had the common fucking decency to snip off your thumbs as punishment for sucking on them.

I've seen better acting in my mirror, when I'm trying to feign happiness, whilst taking a dump, after eating a thermo-nuclear vindaloo the night before.

ever get greenlit for widespread release? Much less making it onto AICN to be linked and talkbacked? The acting is the worst I have ever seen, and this is only the TRAILER! And apparently the script is no better than the acting, judging from "the police are pinning it on a homicide". At least Mel Gibson's lines in Signs about paddywagons and giving the alien the same deal they gave the others was INTENDED for comic effect...
-
Nothing promising here.
-
ly bad. Atrocious really. I've seen better acting in high school plays. This is film school $2,000 budget quality at best. Somebody attached to this film knows somebody attached to this site. There is no other explanation. Now I could actually go for a remake of the Barbara Hershey titty squeezing ghost flick.

Most horror flicks are bad because it's not easy to make good ones...
by Toruk_Makto
Simple as that. I've seen well over a 1000 horror flicks in my life and that's my conclusion. I'm afraid I'm going to have to toss this one on the 'bad' pile. The acting seemed devoid of sincerity...

What's with the long trailers? About 2 minutes too long.
