Entity (2012)

A tv crew and a psychic travel to a remote Siberian woodland location where 34 bodies were found in a shallow grave. Once there things take a turn for the worse and it seems not all the bodies were exhumed.

The opening hour works quite well. Much of the suspense is built up through Dervla Kirwan's portrayal of the psychic and some lovely eerie sounds in the woods. In fact it made a nice change having established actresses such as Kirwan and the up and coming Charlotte Riley onscreen in a film such as this, making the whole thing a seemingly more credible film than the majority of other low budget shaky cam movies.

What started out as an entertaining piece, filmed in both movie and shaky cam style, unfortunately veers off into the tried, tested and boring. Wandering through dark factories with the camera pointing at the floor during the interesting parts.

It's for this 'seen it all before' reason that i can't recommend Entity, even though it's better than many in this genre.
