About this listen
The following contains mature content and language some may find offensive. Listener discretion is advised.
When the sacred is defiled, darkness awakens.
The Wallace family's vacation to a luxury game reserve in Zimbabwe becomes a living nightmare in this heart-stopping psychological thriller from visionary writer/director Nyasha Hatendi. Starring Caleb McLaughlin (Stranger Things, The Deliverance), who delivers a gripping performance in his Audible debut, Sacrilege: Curse of the Mbirwi (mBeerwee) plunges listeners into a world where ancient spirits collide with inner wounds and family secrets are as deadly as the strange beasts that stalk the savanna.
Lost in his headphones, self-absorbed teen Dashon Wallace (McLaughlin) never imagined that a strained family trip meant to bring everyone closer could unravel so completely. But when he unwittingly desecrates hallowed ground, he unleashes the Mbirwi, a vengeful entity born from centuries of colonial oppression. As possessed wildlife and shape-shifting horrors close in, Dashon must confront not only the supernatural threat but also the horrors of his own past to save what remains of his family.
Presented in spectacular Dolby Atmos, Sacrilege blends pulse-pounding suspense with profound explorations of identity and privilege to deliver a thriller as thought-provoking as it is terrifying. With its lush sound design and sensational ensemble cast, Sacrilege redefines the boundaries of audio storytelling, drawing listeners into an immersive experience they will not soon forget.

just a great immersive experience
Was lovely to listen to a production featuring my mother language and touching on the mystical elements that make even the most sceptical of Zimbabwean shiver at the prospect of disrepecting sacred spaces. Great acting and story and it was lovely to touch on elements of colonisation and slavery laced with how grief affects us all. Truly enjoyed!

The story has a weird message
Are we meant to think the locals are in the right? I did really enjoy the story as a folk horror but it has a really weird message about revenge on the family for a teenager being angsty and being born in America.

A story with a difference!
I didn't know what to expect when commencing this story: but for me it definitely succeeded in providing something quite unique to the general preemptive storylines of my fiction collection.
Bravo to all the narrators, I was definitely with you every step of the way.

Poor Story!!!
Story was dry, there was no depth to the plot… can’t even say if there was a plot. A lot of unresolved concepts throughout the story. I kept waiting for the reveal or explanation which never happened.
In summary, this was disappointing to say the least.
Being of African origin myself, I had high expectations from this drama but was sorely let down.
