Encyclopedia
Hawa is 2003 Hindi horror film starring Tabu
. The film was a remake of the 1981 film The Entity
(which stars Barbara Hershey
).
While residing there, Sanjana begins to experience some odd things. Her house is struck by lightning, her dog attacks her, and she and her daughters are mysteriously raped. This is too much to take for Sanjana, and she decides to contact a sage who specializes in black magic. He works a spell, and Sanjana is able to gather information about the mysterious events.
Several hundred years before, elders in a local tribe thought the best punishment of wrong-doers was death - by pushing them down a deep ravine to their deaths. The sum total of the wretched souls have combined into one giant, unseen and non-corporeal entity, and this leads to a tense finale to Hawa.
She does not realize that the sum total of the wretched souls have combined into one giant entity - who will force Sanjana to enter their dark, horrifying world. Her daughter is lured by the entity, and Sanjana is sexually assaulted by it. Sanjana's various attempts to fight this evil force are met by skepticism from people around her, and she must now make up her mind to give up her daughter, and start her life elsewhere, or continue on with her nightmarish life, until the evil force finally kills her.
