See No Evil: The Moors Murders (2006)

In the year of 1965, young couple Maureen and David Smith are engulfed by grief after the tragic cot death of their infant daughter. They find solace in the company of Maureen's older sister, Myra Hindley, and her enigmatic boyfriend, Ian Brady. Yet, their comfort turns into a chilling nightmare when David is aghast to witness Brady brutally murdering teenager Edward Evans. With courage, he reports the crime to the police, leading to Brady's arrest. The relentless police investigation gradually unveils a sinister link between Brady, Hindley, and the mysterious disappearances of local children. A shocking discovery of a lewd photograph of 10-year-old Lesley Ann Downey and a haunting audio tape of her begging for mercy points towards their involvement. The grim discovery of Lesley and John Kilbride's bodies in shallow graves across Saddleworth moor cements their guilt. In a sensational trial, Brady and Hindley are convicted for multiple counts of murder, receiving life sentences. David, despite their attempts to frame him, is absolved. The full horror of their crimes, however, only unravels over the years as they confess to more murders. Five years later, Maureen and David's marriage crumbles. Encouraged by her grandmother, Maureen visits her now-devout sister Myra, who professes deep remorse for her heinous crimes. David's resentment over Maureen's visit is intense, but Maureen's conviction of her sister's transformation and their mutual love for their children help them reconcile. The narrative concludes by revealing the ultimate fates of the key figures and paying a poignant tribute to the innocent victims of these monstrous crimes. "See No Evil: The Moors Murders" is a chilling exploration of human evil and its devastating aftermath.
