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.

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.

This was the grossest movie I've ever seen. I balled my eyes out. This movie is very sad and disgusting and if you have a weak stomach do not watch this. It was very disturbing and hard to watch. The things that happen to that girl was so sad and horrible, I wish she survived but I'm glad her sister made it out alive but Megan and Susan both deserved so much more. Megan definitely got worse treatment but they both suffered some type of abuse. I respect the little boy who stayed by her side but holy shit I can't even explain how bad this movie is. I do not recommend watching this only because of the stuff that happen in the movie, it's very gruesome.

It is beyond me how this movie could have 4.5 stars on Amazon prime. If I could give this movie negative stars, I would. It's gut wrenching to think anybody would leave this movie feeling like they were entertained. This is CP and should be banned. This movie made me sick!!!

This is the single most disturbing movie I have seen. Maybe it's because I have two teenage daughters, maybe because it feels possible, but it is a much more difficult watch than torture horror such as Hostel, which is dark comedy compared to this. The acting is solid and the thought of what is happening in this movie is incredibly nerve wracking. It's not visual torture, but you feel the pain and evil. My advice, have a comedy ready to go right after this. You will need it.
