demons just can't answer questions directly...
...they're a lot like actors and producers that way.

11:33 AM 7/18/08 · If you've seen enough programs, on television and in films, you've probably noticed differences in camera quality. News programs use different than most television shows except for soap operas; that kinda thing. It's gotten to the point that I can just expect a certain level of quality in what I'm watching.
The camera work here is typical of a lot of horror I've rented the last couple years and I was pretty much expecting it to suck because of that. There's a number of movies I've seen with this same quality camera work that were absolutely horrendous...so I was pleasantly suprised to find The Entrance was impressive, if a bit detached and surreal.
The core of this revolves around an exorcism committed a couple centuries back, though caught on film interestingly enough, of a woman that was possessed by a fallen angel named Baal·berith. Mislabelled, so far as I'm concerned, as a demon...this creautre lives to torment sinners and corrupt the innocent.
Not a bad setup, eh?
This is one of those films that isn't displayed entirely in chronological order. Most movies aren't filmed that way but they're usually shown in order. A number of men are kidnapped and forced to play games (the choices are very amusing) and the losers are punished for their sins but not before all involved are shown the sin that brought them there.
For example, graphically displayed even though you don't actually see anything, one of them is a pedophile.
He's not the worst of the lot either.
Baal·berith is easily identified by a circular sigil on the back of the hand of whomever it possesses. It's not the only supernatural entity in this...although I'm not sure if that toothy freak is separate of it or it's true form. It does seem the toothy one can only be seen by who it's actually attacking.
I've gotten in the habit, insofar as stuff I rent, to start analyzing it almost as soon as it starts and I'm kinda wondering if some of the dtachment I felt for it came from that. Not entirely on me though, the movie is significantly out there. You're watching it but it's almost as flat as the screen starting out. Even with that, there are points it really leaps off the screen at you.
You should definitely see The Entrance.
