Movie Review
Not knowing anything about the book I walked in to this expecting a fun and creepy horror film. What I got was easily one of the most unforgettable film experiences I’ve ever had. Gruesome and disturbing without ever being trashy. As a matter of fact, the most amazing thing about the film is how great the direction and performances are. The woman who plays Ruth creates one of the most frightening monsters in film history. Hats off to the rest of the cast and crew for making a film that’s going to take me a while to shake off. I’m not gonna go into details of the story. All I’m saying is SEE IT. You won’t be sorry you did. –By Hort Mortigan
I walked out of the theater numb and shaking. Very skillfully done, it was a horrifying look at severe child abuse with wonderful acting and full of tension. A third of the people in the theater where I saw this film at were crying or in tears as we left the building. Knowing it was based on a true story made it even more tragic. An emotional rollercoaster ride if you are brave enough to watch. You’ll never forget it. Unforgettable and Painfully Powerful. Highly recommended. –By Holly E. Wilson
Plot Outline
Meg Loughlin’s parents are dead, causing her and her sister to live with their aunt Ruth. Ruth is not like the other parents: she allows the neighborhood children to smoke and drink, and has an intense dislike for Meg — for no real reason. After telling the police about mistreatment, Meg’s punishment becomes more and more severe.
