Carla Moran awakens one night to find herself being beaten and raped by an unseen presence. Terrified of what's happening to her, and shunned by friends and family who think she's lost her mind, she seeks help from parapsychologists. The researchers soon discover that evil spiritual force has been drawn to Carla and is responsible for the violent attacks. The question now, however, is how do they stop it? Based on a supposedly true story. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>
As I viewed this film, I felt appalled yet effected by it. Anytime a woman is sexually taken advantage of, the reaction isn't forthcoming. Couple that with the fact that the woman is taken advantage of by a paranormal entity and you have a whole different experience on your hands. The film shook me to the very core for the unusual "invisible" rape scenes that occur are chilling and hard to forget. The film is a horror film at the very core, but daring to dive headfirst into the subject matter. It is unflinching and haunting. It is badly uneven and at times has some cooky dialogue. The makers claim this film is based on fact which only adds to the film's underlying theme. The ending is quite bad and ruins the film from being totally mind thumping. Plus it is hard to swallow. But Barbara Hershey is outstanding and never comes off hammy or over-the-top. I really must offer restraint to those who are easily disturbed or squeamish. ****/*****
