Warning, this article contains details of a violent attack and sexual assault
A victim of a 'horror movie' cannibalistic attack has detailed how she saw a 'bright light' and her life flash before her eyes as an 'animal-like' woman attacked her in bed.
On September 16, 2019, the victim's life changed forever when she 'welcomed' Allison Thompson Weaver into her home — that night, Weaver would try to kill her.
Now, the victim has spoken out about seeing the 'pure evil' in Weaver's eyes and fearing for her life.

It was supposed to be a light-hearted catch-up for the women, who had previously been neighbours, when things took a sinister turn.
Something seemed off when Weaver arrived; she hugged the victim, but then kissed her with an open mouth. The victim laughed it off, hoping it was a strange kind of pass. But things would soon escalate.
"I have some memories of the attack that night, like bits and pieces of a horror movie. First, of waking up in my own bed to find her in some animal-like crawling position, naked, ready to pounce on me.

"Her strangling me, the expression on her face, until I was unconscious. The extreme pain I felt as I regained consciousness and could not move from being raped, beaten, and literally eaten alive from head to toe," the victim said in her impact statement.
While the victim said that she knew what was happening, she 'couldn’t do a thing about it'.
And as Weaver attacked her, the victim alleged that 'she whispered the words, 'You have to die'."

Her life and loved ones began to 'flash' before her eyes. Thankfully, the commotion was heard from below the apartment, and police were called to the scene.
"I do remember seeing pure evil in her eyes, though, and I truly believe nothing can save her. Every hour of every day, I deal with excruciating pain because of what she did to me and the countless bite wounds, including my breasts and vagina. I have permanent nerve damage all over my face and body," she went on to add.
The victim 'begged' her to stop, but she didn't, consuming part of her cheek and leaving her neck, shoulder and back, and left her needing physical therapy.

Speaking about her actions in court, Weaver said: "I would like to apologise to the victim and her family, and also to my family, as well.
"I do feel really, really horrible about what happened. I wish I could take it away."
Weaver was sentenced to 10-15 years in prison yesterday, 12 October, and must also register as a sex offender.
