The Girl Next Door

2007 · 1h 31m · Thriller, Crime, Drama, Horror

IMDb 6.5 Metacritic 29 RT 67%

Skip this one tonight—it's a deeply disturbing true-crime horror that prioritizes shock value over storytelling, and the subject matter (child abuse and torture) is relentlessly bleak without the narrative payoff or artistic merit to justify sitting through it. Unless you're specifically hunting for extreme exploitation cinema, there are far better ways to spend your evening.

Plot

In a quiet suburban town in the summer of 1958, two recently orphaned sisters are placed in the care of their mentally unstable Aunt Ruth. But Ruth's depraved sense of discipline will soon lead to unspeakable acts of abuse and torture that involve her young sons, the neighborhood children, and one 12-year-old boy whose life will be changed forever.

Director: Gregory Wilson

Cast: Blythe Auffarth, Daniel Manche, Michael Zegen, Catherine Mary Stewart, Grant Show
