The Entity is a 1982 American supernatural horror film directed by Sidney J. Furie,
and written by Frank De Felitta, who adapted his 1978 novel of the same name.
The film stars Barbara Hershey as a single mother in Los Angeles who is tormented by an invisible assailant.
Like the novel, the film is based on the 1974 real paranormal phenomena case of Doris Bither,
a woman who claimed to have been repeatedly sexually assaulted by an invisible entity,
and who was observed by doctoral students at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Despite being filmed and planned for a release in 1981,
the movie was not released in worldwide theaters until September 1982 and February 1983 in the United States.
The film is interpreted as a parable for female sexual victimhood
and the lead character as a woman who "goes head-to-head with a gaggle of men (including the "entity" itself).
American composer of film and television scores Charles Harold Bernstein (born February 28, 1943)
composed the soundtrack of the movie.
Bernstein is a Daytime Emmy Award winner, and a two-time Primetime Emmy Award nominee.
During the 1980s, Bernstein scored the music for the horror films Cujo (1983),
A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984), April Fool's Day (1986) and Deadly Friend (1986).
Quentin Tarantino has included Bernstein's music from White Lightning and The Entity
in the soundtracks of his films Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) and Inglourious Basterds (2009).
The complete collected orchestral/synth soundtrack of the movie was released for the first time in 2009 by Intrada
as a limited Edition CD of 1200 copies while in 2019 Wyrd War released on 666 copies the limited edition vinyl.
Recorded at Village Recorders studios in West Los Angeles and Bernsteins Santa Monica studio in 1981,
sourced from Bernsteins archives and featuring three bonus outtakes that provide a glimpse into his compositional process.

and combining walls of white noise with churning repetitive sounds, dark atmospheres and obscure subject matter.
Karmanik has kept his music's thematic elements focused on such topics as death, obsession, sadism, and psychosis.
However, he never misses the opportunity to show the dark humorous side of his personality.

and features Mortiis as guest on the homonymous track.
