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...

Very good movie. Very unsettling. Based on true events. Highly recommend if you don't have a weak stomach. Definitely hard to watch. You want to jump through the TV and attack the "Aunt."

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Few movies make me so uncomfortable that I am tempted to stop watching. This was such a movie. Despite this, I couldn't stop watching. This movie stayed with me for days. It was a true horror movie. I could never recommend this movie to anyone, yet, while a test of nerves while watching, I am glad I did.

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!
