The Entity (1982) - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - February 3, 1983

The Entity is the other Frank DeFelitta novel I can recall seeing in numerous, if not every, bookstore or spinner rack, back in the day. Just as was the case with Audrey Rose, I have yet to crack it open and give it a read.

And, just as was the case, yet again, with its film adaptation, I have yet to actually see it. I do remember seeing the TV and newspaper ads, as well as reading some lackluster reviews and hearing the indifferent word of mouth around school.

Sidney [J.] Furie, the film's director, has had quite the eclectic career, though. His most infamous film might be Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987).

Quentin Tarantino used a snippet from Charles Bernstein's score for the film to excellent effect in Inglourious Basterds (2009).
