IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Trial of Terror Four-Part Miniseries

TRIAL OF TERROR is a four-part psychological horror miniseries.

Seven years after surviving a brutal assault, a deeply scarred, disfigured woman and her charismatic, trauma-hardened enforcer lure those responsible to a remote mountain lodge, where she forces them to confront their crimes in a terrifying trial of pain, confession, and judgment. But the real battle unfolds among three women—one seeking retribution through control, one embracing vengeance and power, and one whose faith is tested to its limits.
