About Mara

Mara is based upon a real medical condition called "Sleep Paralysis." Multiple cultures around the world over many millennia have real life stories about a sleep demon aka demonic attacks also known as "Hag Syndrome." Mara is a well-researched film based upon real life phenomena and is happening to an estimated 40% of humans around the world. It is when a person is in this state of "Sleep Paralysis" that they feel a presence of a  supernatural malevolent being which immobilizes the person as if it is sitting on his/her chest. The word "night-mare" or "nightmare" was used to describe this phenomenon before the word acquired its' modern, more general meaning. Has it happened to you? If not, it just might…when you least expect her.
