About The Entity

Carla Moran, a struggling single mother, finds her life thrown into chaos when she becomes the victim of violent, invisible attacks. Raped and tormented by an unseen entity, she seeks help from Dr. Phil Sneiderman, a skeptical psychiatrist. Initially, he dismisses her claims, attributing her experiences to repressed trauma and self-inflicted injuries. As the attacks escalate and become more terrifying, Carla fights to prove the reality of her ordeal, battling both the supernatural force and the disbelief of those around her. Is Carla truly being attacked by a malevolent entity, or is she succumbing to a psychological breakdown? The answer is a terrifying journey into the unknown.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.
