There are several shows on TV dealing with trying to prove such phenomenon are real, and data collected is reproducible. So far I don't think any of them have proven anything accept there are plenty of gullible people to watch their shows. Other shows are more about debunking these claims.
I personally group demons, ghost, bigfoot...ect...into one large group of BS that is going to take some hard evidence for me to be swayed. I want too see Bigfoot, dead or alive. The only thing that would keep me from shooting big foot if I was hunting would be the fact I wouldn't want to kill a moron in a bigfoot costume, guess I could aim for a leg and at least get a blood sample!!!

So what would be the alternative?
A swirling mass of unidentified energy that looks like it could be a person who had formerly lived?
If an unknown invisible force grabbed you by the feet and pulled you out of bed, and down a flight of stairs, and it wasn't a hallucination of some sort, and it can't be a hallucination because it was caught on tape and you have the injuries to prove it, what is the alternate answer?
See this link first. How Invisibility Cloaks Work | HowStuffWorks It deals with optical camouflage.
Now if someone had an advanced version of a optical invisibility suit like what is being developed, say CIA, and they wanted to screw with you, knowing you had security cameras, then this would be perfect. No clear explanation of what drug you out of bed, security video would be un-altered. CIA and military is happy when people see UFOs and not advanced aircraft, the same would be true with seeing ghost and not an optically camouflaged agent.
Is this an explanation, no. But is a more plausible theory than ghost.

I answered the Question " If an unknown invisible force pulled you out of bed , down stairs...bla bla bla.
You are taking my answer to one question and applying it to your question about the movie, you see the problem of this?? I have not seen the movie and am not going to anytime soon less it comes on tv soon.
You wanted an alternate explanation to a question. The problems you have with that answer are due to you taking it out of context an applying it to another question you have?? If you don't like my answer, just say so. You don't need to try and apply it to another question in order to pick it apart, it was never meant to address the movie, just that one question.

People have been doing the same thing to me.
