"The ultimate story of supernatural terror!"
Boxlist takeExpect an otherworldly, unsavoury horror film, fresh rather than familiar. Best if you like edge over warmth.

Synopsis
Barbara Hershey stars as Carla Moran, a hard-working single mother until the night she is raped in her bedroom by someone - or something - that she cannot see. Despite skeptical psychiatrists, she is repeatedly attacked in her car, in the bath, and in front of her children. Could this be a case of hysteria, a manifestation of childhood sexual trauma, or something even more horrific?
