Barbara Hershey is beaten and raped by an invisible demon in her home. At first she shrugs off the experience as a bad dream, but when it happens again she goes to a shrink. Obviously he doesn't believe her invisible man stories but they keep happening, resulting in real bite marks and bruises. She calls in some parapsychologists who set up monitoring equipment in her home. They come up with an elaborate plan to trap the demon in ice, but it backfires nearly killing everyone. The demon eventually leaves on his own accord. It's unabashedly exploitative and derivative of the previous year's superior Poltergeist, but the story line, and especially Hershey's performance in a difficult role, kept me interested throughout. A lively and creepy score by Charles Bernstein helps with atmosphere.
