REVIEW - MARA

Have you ever woken up during the night, not being able to move, feeling paralysed?

The night hag or old hag is a creature sighted by various peoples of all countries world wide which is used to explain the phenomenon of sleep paralysis.

It is a phenomenon during which a person feels a presence of a supernatural malevolent being which immobilizes the person as if sitting on his/her chest or the foot of his/her bed.

The sightings were firstly documented 400 years BC.

Another variation of this has been described as Aliens holding a person sleeping down, either way this is a very enjoyable film using this centuries old documented phenomenon.

Scientists have suggested that this state is the transition between light sleep and REM sleep where the brain releases a hormone which puts our bodies into this REM sleep, but what if?............

While we are sleeping we are at our most vulnerable, expecting the sheet or quilt to protect us, pulling it up over our heads and hiding under it.

Have you ever woken up during the night, not being able to move, feeling paralysed?

What if?
