The Afflicted2011

Horror Vault's take

Behind closed doors, a mother's fervent religious convictions curdle into something monstrous, turning the family home into a place of unimaginable suffering for her children. The Afflicted plunges viewers into the fractured perspective of a child trapped in a waking nightmare, where faith is wielded as a weapon and escape feels impossible. This unflinching drama-horror hybrid confronts the darkest extremes of domestic violence with brutal honesty, making it one of the more psychologically punishing watches the genre has to offer.
