‘The Entity’ Exclusive Clip Sets Up a Ghostly Nighttime Scare
Death is only the beginning in The Entity. In the film, a family must contend with demonic forces after a tragic death, and an exclusive clip provided to Bloody Disgusting sets up a terrifying scare that highlights the horror ahead.
In the upcoming Filipino horror film, “A family is haunted by what appears to be the ghost of their youngest daughter. Now they must try to figure out why she is trying to communicate with them and if it’s really her.”
The Entity releases on VOD and Digital on August 22, 2023.
The exclusive clip below sets up a jump scare, with foreboding signs pointing toward something else reaching out from beyond the grave.
The horror film by Filipino director Erik Matti (“Folklore“), who co-wrote the script with Katski Flores, stars Sharon Cuneta as the family matriach. The Entity, also titled Kuwaresma, marks Filipino star Cuneta’s first foray into horror.
The film also stars John Arcilla (The Bourne Legacy), Kent Gonzales (Rabid), Pam Gonzales (Suarez: The Healing Priest), Guila Alvarez (Only You), and Coohleene Cabasag (Abandoned).
Based on the below, expect things to get downright demonic in this 1985-set horror feature. Undead family members, ghosts, and more lurk within The Entity.
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
