Plot – Spoilers:
The Girl Next Door is based on the Jack Ketchum novel of the same name. Two teenage girls Meg and Susan lose their parents in an accident and go to live with their aunt Ruth and three male teenage cousins in a suburban town. The story is narrated from the perspective of a neighboring kid, now all grown up, who at the time had a crush on Meg.
Ruth is a weird woman with misogynistic views and sees Meg and Susan as subservient beings with no rights. What begins as stepmotherly treatment spirals into a type of slavery before degenerating into the worst possible abuse of Meg and Susan at the hands of Ruth and her young boys.
Favorite scenes:
The torture scenes of Meg from the perspective of Ruth’s young boys growing to enjoy the torture and sexual power they are given, throws some insight into how humans if allowed by law (in this case their mother, Ruth) can quickly abandon morality for their personal gratification especially of a sexual nature.
An American Crime starring Catherine Keener and Ellen Page was also based on this true story of the torture and murder of Sylvia Likens.
There is another movie called the Afflicted (2011) about another very abusive mother toward her daughters.
Horrific but the horror didn’t stop there. The final horror was the decision by the parole board to set free that evil woman after about 20 years. She was alive and free, and her victim never got to live a full life.
How can that be right? Anyone who is deliberately responsible for ending a persons life should either be executed or spend ALL of the rest of their life behind bars. The legal system is an ass.
Not my proudest fap.
good movie
I bet the incels of this site are fapping themselves into a coma at this movie
this so much this
meh not my proudest fap
what was?
reely disaponted in dis fielm i was hoeping to cum allot winy stuped gerl
If you’re going to be an edgy troll. Can you atleast spell correctly so we won’t get a headache trying to read this?
thanks mom
fuckn lol
Based off a amazing book
that was literally one of the most traumatising films i’ ve ever watched
You think so? Goggle the real story
Goggle? You peeve me to perdition, consider female circumcision for yourself, I hear it cures neurosis.
This could have been prevented the kid was a pussy ass coward
This film makes ppl uncomfortable is because of the sense of helplessness throughout the film. This film projects despair and helplessness too well that it felt so real.
Rubbish movie! Did not make me came at all! 0/10
Fuck you.
Sigh this movie fucked me made me sick a few times this is why its so hard not to dislike people and just want to become a cat lady ugh
This is one of the worst hyped disturbing movies out there. First heard of it in sarah hawkinson’s youtube channel but badly disappointed by the content
This movie is based on a true story about the slow torture of Sylvia Likens that happened in 1965. Believe it or not, what Sylvia went through in real life is far worse than anything that happened in this film. Its a super fucked up story and several people have covered it on YouTube if you can stomach it.
im crying LOL
Really what crap nothing happens.
Damn, this film made me angry, it really touched a nerve with what that poor girl went through. I would have killed all those fuckers and given her a big hug. Great film, controversial subject. 10/10.
my buho itch
“Sounds like incest to me” They are cousins Ruth
Anyone that questions the boy didn’t get how he was a victim too. His life was in danger as well and he was traumatized by the constant escalating abuses. She even threated her life as well as his. The acts She perpetrated upon the kids were so sadistic and manipulative that she was able to control her children and the victims as well. If you were going to blame the narrator, you could do the same for the sister as well. She was guilty I suppose for letting her sister take punishments for her? She let her big sister go back for her? You people that made ignorant comments obviously never have suffered trauma or know nothing of human psychology. I am forgetting however this is the comments section on effed up movies after all and I expect to see ignorant comments and trolls.
This story was well done, very tragic, and a real horror story that still happens to this very day in this county. If you watched it and were unmoved you are a monster and should be stricken sterile.
Serbian Film, Audition, Human Centipede, Cannibal Holocaust, Grotesque, Saw, Hostel. All films I’ve watched casually, with a smile on my face while eating dinner through all the gory scenes. Even true stories like 3096 days, Cleveland abduction, things that I know that logically I should be much more disgusted at. I might be messed up in the head but I get a certain sick twisted pleasure out of watching them.
Somehow, this much more tame film is the first I just found uncomfortable to sit through. I’m not sure if its just the more relatable kind of abuse, or how seriously it takes it, or how there’s no levity or the fact that the characters are literally children that actually look like children. I just found it hard to watch.
It’s probably because the movie slowly builds up the tension and evil of the main villain (Blanche Baker fantastically nailed her portrayal of that demon cunt Gertrude) rather than just emphasising on over the top gore. Anticipate horrific torture scenes with uncomfortable dialogue and pity scenes for the sweet innocent protagonist victim and you’re in for a ride in hell.
Not to mention that this was set in an idyllic American suburbia during the summertime, which was quite jarring.
Youre s00 hardcore faggot
good movie, great photography and fine looking cast, damn Davey’s mom is effing hot… kinda dumb in parts, could have been made for tv, almost looked like they had spots to insert the commercials, but well worth a watch. I totally agree with Juan above, kids in them days kept their mouths shut. seen & not heard. believe me I lived it 9 yrs @ catholic school. yeah this was extreme but it’s a movie, who knows what really happened…
OMG ME TOO. I was in private catholic school my whole life until college. That was some shit, eh?
Can we update this description for Eliot Page?
That’s An American Crime.
But Ellen in the movie, so….
To what?
Gender confused Page?
The Earth is flat too, huh?
You people are fuckin hilarious.
Agreed, it’s fucking embarrassing
I wanna scatter your remains all over Disneyland, uncremated cunt.
Fucked Up and Depressing. 9/10
I love how the comments keep bleating on about this being based on a true story like that means anything. Sure aspects of the situation and setting are similar, but the rest is pure artistic interpretation and doesn’t have to be based in fact on any level. Hell, The Amityville Horror was based on a true story, but the film was entirely made up.
I hated this. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a badly acted or produced film. It’s just I can’t stand to see a nice pretty young girl tortured physically and emotionally so realistically. I don’t see any reason for someone to watch this movie twice. So in a sense I am saying there is no need to watch it once. However I will not rate it either way as I am biased towards the subject material.
Google the real story. The movie is tame compared to reality.
One thing that I will say about the movie vs the real story that makes it almost as shocking is that fucking blowtorch clitoridectomy scene! I’ve seen my share of real life shit but I honestly couldn’t sleep right for four nights after that! That was about ten years ago and I am still trying to work up the courage to watch it a second time.
Your favorite scene, you depraved knucklefuck.
Hello, sorry for my english, but reading the comments people say the kid must call the police but I understand him, and why the others girls did not too, it’s because the fear that we feel when we are kids are not the same that an adult, when I was a kid looked something terrible but I could say to anything because the fear was so terrible than I had nightnares, now I think I was stupid but I am only a little boy
It is obvious that those that hate The fake David character don’t know shit about the overall tolerance the U.S. had of parental rule in those days. It was nothing like it is now! Family rule was everything and in the real story, it was the adults that willfully ignored what they thought was “strange”. Unlike now , where kids get away with just about every damn thing, children and adolescents could get the living hell knocked out of them for things that kids say these days. It meant very little as long as there were no marks. The only people that could intervene in a situation like this with no reprisals were the local clergy. And they didn’t in this case…So much for the blessings of christian privilege! (It is also worth noting that this incident that occurred took place at a time when child protective services were a relatively new thing. Before that, children were actually protected by the ASPCA! Had it not been for the valiant efforts salvation army founder Pearl S Buck, they wouldn’t have even had the ASPCA looking out for them. Bottomline: Charles Dickens wasn’t really writing fiction. Sad reality of those times.
Omg seriously? Isnt that for animals? The ASPCA? You blew my mind just now. Holyshitfuckballs,
Dude, this is based on a true story and the main character was a cinematic vehicle used to tell the story. Regrettably, Ruth was not killed. Her real name was Gloria Banishewski and if the fake character David pissed you off, just think about Gloria/Ruth committing this brutal murder, being charged with 1st degree murder, and getting paroled after only 22 years! The movie borders on unwatchable, but it was almost tame compared to the real story! The victim’s name was (in real life) Sylvia Likens. Brace yourself if you decide to read the actual story!
How come no one has mentioned that this is a true story? This film is based on the 1965 torture-murder of 16 y/o Sylvia Likens in Indianapolis Indiana. With VERY FEW liberties taken with the original story. I hate to say it, but this film gave me more sleepless nights than the murder of a close friend that happened around the same time. No spoilers, but I promise that you will wish you could jump through the screen and kill everyone but the victims! Watch it and then go read the actual case’s trial manuscripts; most of the perpetrators are dead, but after seeing this and studying the real case, you might be tempted to find the sole surviving killer who lives under an assumed name. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings if someone acted on those impulses to the point of doing an actual Dexter on the vile cunt. Just sayin’.
I mean, it’s literally in the description of the film? What do you mean no one mentioned it? A ton of people did.
Fuck all those above me who have posted spoilers in comments. If you do at least mark your comments as *spoiler alert* you stupid morons.
You came down to the comments expecting there ???????????? to be spoilers? …And you’re calling everyone else stupid…? Ok.
It’s retarded. Why bother trying to reason with it?
Or stop being stupid and don’t read comments about the movie without watching the movie. That’s your fault not theirs.
dirty evil jews, its funny when a movie is made about germans they pound into your hea dhow bad they are. This , this is about a filthy jew bitch …
huzzah!!
A filthy Jew bitch. Triggered that racist bone in you, right?
This movie should be called “Another day of the chosen”
The jews do this every day
Seriously…what the fuck is wrong with you? You come on here hiding behind a fake name..Come on put your real name up you racist little pussy I.dare you!.
Your comments are irrelevant ..nothing to do with the content of any movies you watch on here ,yes I’ve seen you many times before you piece of crap…same old unintelligible racist bollocks..out of context racist bollocks too!! You’ll be whinging your dad little fascist eyes out in a few weeks when Orange Hitler gets kicked out the Whitehouse!…#BLM…..ps I’m white .
You’re also a repugnant little cunt…. probably 300 lbs. and fuggly as all Hell. Nobody like you, and thus you struggle so hard to be a part of something… but you can’t be. You never will be. You’re just another lonely loser. Totally meaningless and insignificant.
Suicide IS always an option, you hateful little pig.
You should try suicide too.
nice rage-reply you mega incel
look! a white person virtue signalling on the internet.
probably have a bunch of blackface photos in that not so hidden folder.
run for office.
Bro you’re probably talking to 1 guy with 5 sock puppets. You can’t still think people like this exist. Lol
This movie hurts. David should had to told his parents about that bitch Ruth.
Damn you guys are really putting it all on the main character? I get he was a little bitch but shit he’s not as bad as the others. he at least was able to recognize it was wrong and never wanted to participate. sure hes a pussy who didn’t have the nerve to save her, it could be a lot worse
That stupid little piece of shit deserves his dick cut off. And I’ve never thought that about anyone before in my entire life. This fucking little kid is the worst person on the entire planet.
fuck the protaganist stupid little boy. I mean how much of a pussy is he , all he had to do was tell the police or his parents right from the start. There’s one thing if he didnt feel for her but he actually liked her yet did jack shit only till the end when she got fucked up. Fuck your moto of what you do in the end, you had enough chances in the beginning yet you made the choice of not telling anyone in the start. Thats some ultra shit level pussy.
Since this story is true it pisses me off more, all I can think of is either is wrongly conveyed from the protaganist POV or this little shit had gulity pleasure on seeing Meg being mistreated.
So fuck you man for having feeling for her yet doing jack shit to stop it. If you think that this story made me feel sorry for this little shit you are wrong. He pissed me off more than Ruth.
Man this movie got under my skin
I know right?! That shit pissed me off too! Still a fantastic movie regardless though.

The real story is so horrific. I feel so bad for that poor girl.
Truly it is. I couldn’t sleep right for about four days after the first watch. Before netflix
Got so stupid, they used to let people rate and review movies. My review read “Flowers in the attic to the power of ten and shocking to the marrow of the bone.”
As for the real story, I can understand the light sentences for the youngest offenders, but that filthy fucking cunt Paula Banishewski is someone I would love to see subjected to a slow, excruciating death!
The real story is even more messed up than this. The guy who liked her ended up beating and raping her too, no good guys in this story. Real life is way harder than fiction.
Why do people say pussy? Pussies are pretty fucking tough. Anyone who has ever fucked one good knows it. Say wussies. Because that’s what they are a bunch of wussies. Or you can say nut sacks since nuts are so fucking fragile. LOL men who call other men pussies are a bunch of nut sacks in my opinion.
Pussy is a reference to pussy cat not vagina.

Actually, pussies are more easily injured than most people think (that includes Women). As for the whole “pussies are tough, balls are fragile”observation, I remember visiting a girl in the hospital who had been kicked right in the cunt by her asshole brother. She was still “spotting” blood after she got out! Balls injured bad enough, fucked up for life
Pussy trauma? That can lead to a crushed pelvis bad enough to end a life!
And assuming you are a Woman, PLEASE don’t try any of that overstated groin shot shit if (Satan forbid) you become a potential rape victim! If he’s thinking about using his junk on you, there is a good chance that he is also thinking about protecting it. Two fingers to the eyeballs is your safest bet against any attack (then you can have fun stomping his balls off.)
Weirdest diatribe I’ve seen on this disturbing asshole-factory of a website yet
I can tell you haven’t been far on this site.
Even then this movie shocked me more than cannibal Holocaust, ferox, American guinea pig 1, girl hell 1999, Trauma, and even in a way Serbian Film. I think it’s because I actually cared for the characters and the real story mad it hit harder. Most movies is torture porn on random nobody’s and you know I’m right. Only other movie that can compare to this is concrete.
Suck on my balls, missy!
LOL, Satanists are a bunch of stupid fucking, pathetic edgelords who are dumb as dirt and can never leave their teenager phase of being all “dark”, “scary”, “nihilistic” or other adjectives that they can think of to apply to their loser selves. Ahahahaha, fucking drink Kool-Aid laced with rat posing, you cLoWnnnnn!
Silence you fragile mice! You pathetic females are easily defeatable and only act tough online just to cope and seethe from days of getting pwned and punked around by people who like to scuffle with.
this shit hurted
This film is very good at making you pity the main character. You can feel how fucked up the behavior of the antagonist is, and this feeling only doubles when you learn it was based on a true story.
A very tasteful and non edgy “fucked up” film, I highly recommend.
First Impression: 8.65/10
pity the main character, I hated him the most. HE DIDNT TELL ANYONE RIGHT FROM THE START. To much of pussy to not see her mistreated but cant tell anyone. You were the one sane character among all the other psychopaths yet he did nothing in the beginning. I hate him more than Ruth
