==Synopsis==
Needing a good final project for college, a group of media students have chosen to film a documentary researching [[reaction video]]s. They're surprised when they find a video featuring someone they know, especially when they discover that anyone who has watched the original video (not the reaction video) has died after they finish watching. Intrigued, the students focus their research, which requires that they visit the [[Deep web (search)|deep web]], and they find that the original video is tied to an ancient and deadly curse.

==Reception==
Prior to its release ''The Entity'' received comparisons to similarly themed films such as ''[[Paranormal Activity]]'', ''[[The Blair Witch Project]]'', and ''[[Ring (film)|Ring]]''.<ref name=LP /> Review websites Flickering Myth and Nerdly commented upon these comparisons, as both felt that ''The Entity'' suffered from being too overly familiar to pre-existing works.<ref name=nerdly>{{cite web|last1=Wheat|first1=Phil|title=Frightfest 2015: 'The Entity' Review|url=http://www.nerdly.co.uk/2015/08/28/frightfest-2015-the-entity-review/|publisher=Nerdly|accessdate=11 November 2015}}</ref> [[Twitch Film]] was more positive, writing "Seasoned horror fans will find nothing new here, being able to guess most of the plot beats; but then again, Peruvian directors are just starting to try their hand at a genre which has been around for a long while. As more of them attempt to scare audiences, they'll hopefully improve on what came before. With its effective creepy atmosphere and solid use of an often-maligned gimmick, ''La Entidad'' is a good step in the right direction."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Miñano|first1=Ernesto Zelaya|title=Review: LA ENTIDAD Is A Small Step Forward For Peruvian Horror|url=http://twitchfilm.com/2015/01/review-la-entidad-is-a-small-step-forward-for-peruvian-horror.html|publisher=Twitch Film|accessdate=11 November 2015|archive-date=2 December 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151202025259/http://twitchfilm.com/2015/01/review-la-entidad-is-a-small-step-forward-for-peruvian-horror.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
