Exorcist-like horror in which a woman is convinced that she's sexually assaulted by an invisible demon. 
A fine lead performance from Barbara Hershey and some creepy visual effects make it well worth watching for horror aficionados. The claims to be based on a true story are incredibly far-fetched.
6/10
