À propos de cet audio

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.

About the Performer

Caleb McLaughlin is one of Hollywood’s most exciting young stars. Next up, he will star in the highly anticipated final season of Netflix’s global phenomenon Stranger Things, reprising his beloved role as Lucas Sinclair. The Emmy Award-winning series is set to conclude with Season 5 in 2025, marking the end of a cultural juggernaut that has defined a generation of television storytelling. McLaughlin has been praised for his nuanced portrayal of Lucas, earning a NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Performance by a Youth and a Screen Actors Guild Award alongside his cast for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. He was also nominated for the 2023 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his work on the show. His performance has earned additional recognition from the BET Awards, MTV Movie & TV Awards, and Teen Choice Awards, cementing his place as one of the breakout stars of the acclaimed ensemble.
In 2024, he starred in Lee Daniels’ chilling Netflix supernatural thriller The Deliverance, inspired by a true-life exorcism case, playing the pivotal role of Nathaniel “Nate” Jackson. He also appeared in Jeymes Samuel’s genre-defying biblical epic The Book of Clarence as the sharp and streetwise “Dirty Zeke,” which showcased his ability to take on bold and unconventional roles. In 2023, McLaughlin played Lil Dru Joyce III in Peacock’s Shooting Stars, a coming-of-age sports drama chronicling the rise of NBA legend LeBron James and his childhood friends. He was praised for his emotional depth and authenticity and added another layer to his growing list of dynamic characters.

His screen credits also include roles in Blue Bloods, Forever, Law & Order: SVU, Shades of Blue, Unforgettable, and Steven Soderbergh’s High Flying Bird.
After many years in front of the camera as an esteemed actor, McLaughlin added musician to his title with the release of his debut original single, “Neighborhood,” in November 2021 via Steve Stoute’s creator platform, UnitedMasters. The song was written and produced by Rashad (Rick Ross, Pharrell, De La Soul). He released his second single, “Soul Travel,” on May 6th, 2022, and plans to release more music in the future.
McLaughlin studied dance at The Harlem School of the Arts. He made his Broadway debut in 2012 as Young Simba in Disney’s The Lion King and holds the distinction of being the longest-running actor to play the role in the show's two-decade history on Broadway. His other stage credits include the 2015 Signature Theatre production of Athol Fugard’s play The Painted Rocks at Revolver Creek and his critically acclaimed song-and-dance performance in the Kennedy Center’s revival of the Kurt Weill opera Lost in the Stars.
He is a beauty ambassador for DIOR.

beautiful concept


I wanted to love this. the story is original, the production is really good, and the voice acting (especially Caleb McLaughlin) was very well done. But the writing felt a bit too simple for me. There was a lot of repetition around emotions... nearly everything Dashon felt came from “deep inside,” which lost its weight after a while.

Dashon is your classic angsty teen, and i know teens are alot but it made it hard for me to fully connect with him or care deeply about his arc.

What I did love was the concept and mood. I actually think this would’ve hit harder as an animated series. Visually, I kept imagining the scenes in that format, I think it would’ve thrived depicted that way.

Another thought i had while listening is I wish the cultural and spiritual elements had gone a touch deeper. It had something special at its core, but some of the moral and symbolic opportunities felt missed at times....

Also, they kept referring to “Africa” in this general way, when it’s clearly set in Zimbabwe. I would’ve appreciated more direct cultural grounding rather than the usual blanket label.


All in all i would and have recommended it to others. I think a lot of people will really enjoy the listen. It was good. Not perfect, but good.

Great story & amazing performances!

This is not my usual type of audible. I usually listen to "book readings" and this was an immersive performance. I wasn't sure if I'd connect with the characters but they had me hooked from the start. I loved the indentity & family struggles. It was so relatable. The ending was perfect. This book had the perfect amount of gore and violence to convey the message without it being over the top although I was was scared many times throughout. 10/10

I wish the concepts of the cultural dynamic between Americans and Zimbabwe was explored more. Otherwise the production was superb and I finished it without passing
