This is the most horrific movie I have ever seen. My stomach was in knots the entire time and I couldn't finish it. I don't know why this movie was made, but anyone who enjoys it is disturbed. It is well-made and intriguing, but it gets dark very fast. Save yourself the heartache and don't watch it. It will pull you in and then you may not be able to look away and you'll be haunted by it forever.

This film frustrated me. You've got a boy who watches the abuse happening and doesn't protest, yet he obviously knows it's wrong. He's not put in a situation where he's threatened, so I don't see why he wouldn't say something to somebody. It doesn't make sense.I don't know if that qualifies as a spoiler, so I've marked it as one in case.

I was surprised. It's an unheralded movie that is powerful, moving and disturbing at the same time. It's well written, the dialog is good and it's decently acted as well. You won't be disappointed, but it is a movie that will agitate your emotions. It's not a violent slasher- type flick, and it doesn't offer blood and guts. It will grip you and upset you. All based on a true story. Watch if you can sit through it.

This film is not for children. Or grandmas. Or people so sensitive to aberrant lifestyles that the bad guys in this movie will make them hurl. I must be a sick puppy because the film didn't show that much torture, I mean, not compared to some of those brutal foreign-language horror flicks like "L'Intereur" or "Irreversible."The plot is not worth going over here; it's essentially the same movie as "An American Crime" with Ellen Page and Catherine Keener. Both films are extremely daring and challenging. If, like me, you developed PTSD because of constant beatings during childhood, both films could be near impossible to watch. But I'm a sick, twisted individual, so these films are right up my alley."The Girl Next Door" is based on a true story but you have to wonder how much liberties the filmmakers too. Remove a clitoris with a blowtorch? Holy sh*t! That's about the worst form of torture I've ever heard. Glad they didn't show it. I really might have hurled myself. The acting in this movie was good; the young boys were believable, too. Again, stay away from this movie if your stomach is weak. If "Dogtooth" didn't faze you, this one won't, either.
