This is a brilliant film and well worth your time if your into the supernatural.
The film is all about a woman seperated from her husband who is struggling to bring up her kids as best she can. They have very little money.
One night she is raped in her own home by a violent assailant. Her kids are in the house and her screams bring her eldest son running to help. She tells him she has been raped and that the attacker is still in the house. He frantically searches for the attacker but can find no-one and no signs of a break in. The son thinks his mother has dreamed the attack but she is convinced the attack was real and has the bruises to prove it.
The attacks continue and the violent nature worsens. The family eventually flee into the night to a nearby motel but they just dont have the money to stay and have to return to the scene of the attacks.
Eventually the woman makes contact with a local university that has a department that studies paranormal activity.
What makes this an even better story is that its based on real events.
Try it, its well worth it.
No matter how many times you read that this film is/was based on a true story, it never truly gains credibility from the viewer. The repeated rape scnes are obviously not funny, but the fact that there's this woman being chased by a huge blob had me chuckling away.

This is by far the strangest film I've ever seen. It's hard to put it in a category, horror? sci-fi? comedy? You'll definately be intrigued.
