In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Entity (1981)
A horror directed by Sidney J. Furie.
A woman is attacked by unseen forces in her home and repeatedly raped by invisible men. She goes to a psychologist who says that she is having hallucinations. She then finds supernatural researchers who try to document her attacks.
What stood out to me the most was the sound used in the beginning of the film when an attack would take place. It almost sounded like heavy metal. I've seen tons of films like this and they're all the same. This one is no exception. They all have static characters whose only change is to get stressed out by ghosts. The plots are predictable, but the style and pacing are usually good because most of the films are from the '80s. I'm rating this o.k. because it fits the mold.
