Beneath the 1950's seemingly placid exterior of Ozzie and Harriet normalcy, there were -- brace yourself! -- sinister undercurrents at work.

There's little reason to see the movie. Unless, of course, you get off on watching the sexual exploitation of underage girls.

Rated: 0.5/4

The kind of movie that makes you wish you could rinse your brain in bleach, to wash all traces of it from your memory.

Rated: 1/5

It's a dark, harsh, and sometimes powerfully unpleasant film, but it's also very well made.

Words simply don't do it justice; it's a masterpiece, and I'll never be able to see it again...

Gritty, brutal and somehow disturbing given that it was based on a true story.

Do not watch if you are sensitive to violent acts. This was a very sad story but the cast did well.

Producers of this movie should be in jail. This is an unforgettable movie you desperately want to forget. Disgusting. No redeeming value. Terrible!

I cannot believe it was even legal to make this movie! Talk about child exploitation!!!… That movie did not need to be made. I had to turn it off. It was so horrible. You can read about the true story. This movie is the creation of some sick minded individual and I cannot believe the people that participated in making this film.
