Last month I broke the news that those goofballs at The Asylum were hastily putting together another Mockbuster, this one entitled PARANORMAL ENTITY. What I didn’t know then is how over-the-top they were going to go in terms of selling it as a “real” account of a possession.
Posted on their website:
There’s been some comment on the internet about our release called PARANORMAL ENTITY and why is hasn’t been posted on our website until now.
This has been a sensitive issue for all of us: A few weeks ago we were approached by surviving members of the Finley family who asked us to release never-before-seen home video footage shot by Thomas Finley, who was accused of murdering his sister, Samantha (pictured) in 2008, and who later took his own life in prison.
The family has always maintained that Thom was innocent of the crime and that Samantha’s tragic death was not caused by anything human.
Actual footage of the events leading to the 2008 “murder” of Samantha Finley.
I’m a-scare!
You’ve got to hand it to The Asylum – their turnaround time is pretty good. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY didn’t become a huge success until mid-October, so you’ve got to figure that Asylum had only two and a half months – at most – for production, post-production, and release on ENTITY. All the easier to make it look like crap, I suppose.
The knock-off comes out on DECEMBER 22nd – a perfect Christmas gift to give to someone you hate. See a few more images HERE.
