The Graveyard

Carrie Masters, a wealthy woman crippled by both physical and emotional scars, unleashes her pain onto her young son David. Carrie's bizarre and cruel games twist David's mind, shaping him into a shell of his former self. Years later, David returns with his wife and child, seeking normalcy, but Carrie's poisonous manipulations and two mysterious deaths push him over the edge into madness. Consumed by his mother's cruelty, David embarks on a chilling path of vengeance, fueled by the twisted legacy of their fractured relationship.

My take

A psychological descent into generational trauma and madness. This is for viewers who crave deeply unsettling character studies where family becomes the most terrifying place—where cruelty compounds across decades and sanity fractures under the weight of inherited pain.
