" Based on the novel by, Frank De Felitta, Carla Moran, a hard-working single mother, is raped in her bedroom by someone, or something, that she cannot see. Despite skeptical psychiatrists, she is repeatedly attacked by this invisible force. Could this be a case of hysteria or something more horrific? One can be of two minds, about the actual story. It didn’t occur, the way it was reported. Or, it’s an actual real tale, and poltergeists really do exist. Either way, it’s a horrifying br"

It deals with post-assault shame and societal norms around the subject pretty well for a solid 40 minutes before becoming a much sillier, albeit still engrossing story of catching a ghost.
