The Girl Next Door

[FrighT MasteR]

Good movie, but definitely not as disturbing as the actual story.

Good movie. Haven't read the book but this was pretty disturbing and shocking. Afterwards it kept me thinking, "what the fuck did I just watch?" It's crazy that the actual events that it's based on is even like ten times worse.

this is also a good song by screeching weasel..

The ending to this movie just fucking killed it for me.
I hated it.
I am a Miike fan, so i can deal with the rape and torture of children to some extent. But at least with his work i get a sense of art or a surrealism. Not with this movie, they cut right from the rape to the quick swift justice of a bad horror movie and it leaves the viewer with nothing more than a very dirty and unsettling feeling.
Fuck this movie.

If you want to read about the actual events this movie is based on, here's the link:

I read this and it made me sick to my stomach. What makes it even worse is the lack of punishment for the perpetrators. Ugh, just read it and you'll see what I mean.

I'm thinking about checking this film out, but I want to read the book first. (I'm hopefully getting it for Christmas *crosses fingers*) I can't wait for An American Crime to come out though. Ellen Page (Hayley from Hard Candy) plays Sylvia, so I'm sure that it will be great.

Really? I don't even wanna know how disturbing the actual story was.

Pretty F'd up what they did to her

This actually wasn't a true story, just based on one. The real story is about Sylvia Likens, the movie of that is called An American Crime.

the real story is almost as bad. i grew up about thirty minutes from where it happened. that woman was crazy! and what she was able to get those kids to do to Sylvia was insane.

Forgot about this flick.

As astand alone movie it is good, if not a cruel view on someone's reality. I have not read the book or looked into the story behind it.

[Primetimeloser]

Liked the movie, haven't read the book. From what I have read the real story is horrifying.

[Splat]

I feel with any movie like this, fans who have read the book MUST forget about it and see the movie as a new entity.

Yeah, I've seen a TV documentary about the real case. It's one of those unimaginable cases of humanity at its worst, like war crimes.

The movie itself was alright. Since it's based on something that happened that is what made me able to watch it. If not it would have been a boring film that is just disgusting for no reason. I shouldn't say that since it's horrible that it happened, but that's what got me to watch the movie in the first place. I'll have to read the story because all I know is what you guys have said and from the movie.
