troy d I rented this movie because it was based on a true story. I stopped watching it 2/3 of the way through as it was so disturbing. I eventually finished it hoping for some redeeming qualities. There were none. This is one movie I wish I had never seen. The only one I truly wish I had never seen. The synopsis did not at all prepare me for what I saw. It was "based" on a true story but they made it so much worse than the reality. I am left questioning why anyone would make this movie. I hesitate to even write this review that it might inspire even one person to watch it. It has been over a decade and I am still sickened and angered when I think of this movie and not because of it's "basis" in reality but for its sensationalization and exploitation of it. This was 2 hours of an underage girl being sodomized and tortured before finally being murdered with multiple other children being the perpetrators or complicit under the guidance and encouragement of a sadistic aunt. There is no reason to see this movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Danielle S This is the most disturbing movie I've ever seen! I do not recommend! Aweful Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Ethan S. Extremely disturbing. Many of the scenes are borderline unbearable (completely unbearable for some). The movie is based on true events, which makes this viewing experience even more gut wrenching. All that aside, the story is written well, and the type of horror displayed in this movie is much more psychological than most, making you question your morals for sticking in out for the last half of the film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Rachel O 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 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review S J B 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Emilliano Jr S Gritty, brutal and somehow disturbing given that it was based on a true story.
