The Afflicted (2011)

In the chilling narrative of The Afflicted, the talented Leslie Easterbrook emerges as 'Mother Maggie', a tormented matriarch of four, whose psychological instability paints a harrowing portrait of domestic terror. With a warped interpretation of the Bible as her shield, Maggie inflicts an unthinkable level of abuse upon her children, creating a household shrouded in perpetual dread. This is a tale of unfathomable mistreatment meted out by an explosively violent mother, whose twisted religious beliefs form the crucible of her children's living nightmare. Her three daughters, trapped in a relentless cycle of fear and abuse, bear silent witness to their mother's madness. Escape seems not just impossible, but fatally perilous, as they navigate the treacherous waters of their agonizing existence. Drawing inspiration from a true story, The Afflicted plunges you headfirst into the harrowing world of those condemned to a life in the shadow of fear, with no visible means of escape. Journey through the eyes of a child trapped in this domestic hell, and experience the chilling reality of a home where love is replaced by fear, and faith becomes a tool of torment.
