The Entity is apparently a recreation of real life events. It's obviously been altered to make a for a more entertaining film. But allegedly it's biographical. It is based on the "Doris Bither Case." A haunting where Doris was allegedly raped by the spirits of 3 Asian men. In the film her name is Carla Moran and I don't believe it's ever insinuated that there is more than one spirit.
The problem with this film is it's pacing. The ghost rape scenes are intense and shocking but they're short and spread far apart. To fill in the gaps there are several snore inducing scenes of psychiatric and scientific analysis. These scenes tend to go on too long. With no actual conclusion to the plot, one has to wonder why it takes 2 hours for the film to reach it's climax. Sure, it's horror scenes are worth seeing, but they never really change or grow in intensity.
Body Count:0
Side Note: Martin Scorsese has said that he considers The Entity to be one of the scariest films of all time.
