Reviews:
“Dark Entities is less its own story and more of a pastiche of classics that have come before it. If you’re up for a lower-budgeted take on Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining which mixes in elements from other classic horror flicks in non-plausible form then Dark Entities is for me. Unfortunately, I found the end result messy, nonsensical and a chore to sit through.” My Bloody Reviews
“Clocking in at a few minutes shy of two hours, McLemore’s project may be a tad too ambitious for a first feature as the film takes a little while to start cooking and could probably be trimmed of some fat. However, despite the obvious limitations of a film with a modest budget, the team behind Dark Entities manages to generate some genuine thrills and chills.” Pop Horror
