The current #1 thriller on Hulu is possibly the wildest chart entry we have ever covered. It’s inspired by actual events and was originally a Lifetime original movie. Many viewers have hit play on Girl in the Basement, but most were unprepared for what they got.
Synopsis
“Inspired by actual events, Girl in the Basement is the horrific story of Sara (Stefanie Scott), a vibrant teen girl who was looking forward to her 18th birthday, so she could move away from her controlling father Don (Judd Nelson). But before she could ever blow out the candles, her world became extremely dark after Don imprisons her in the basement of their home. While Don tried to convince his wife Irene (Joely Fisher) that Sara ran away, he would secretly visit her in the basement to torture and rape her. Meanwhile, Irene and Sara’s sister Amy (Emily Topper) continued living upstairs. As the years passed, Sara gave birth to several children, alone in the basement. After decades of captivity, Sara finally escaped, and her family learned the devastating truth about what had been going on for over 20 years right beneath their feet.”

Girl in the basement on Hulu is so hard to watch, the fact that it is based on a true story is insane

Just watched the girl in the basement movie and then read the story the whole thing is just sick.
I also just don’t understand how his wife or daughter bought his lies and didn’t know she was down there the whole time.
Like he brought up 3 children that she had..

Girl in the basement is …. Horrifying .. Looking into the story that inspired it.. a girl who was held in captivity for 24 YEARS by her own father … forced to give birth to children from him… I just can’t even imagine the type of actual evil person that would do this…
