"The Girl Next Door" ~ 2007
Netflix description = Inspired by true events this thriller set in 1958 follows the harrowing story of two adolescent girls who, upon losing their parents in an accident, are sent to live with their Aunt Ruth, a sadistic psychopath. Unbeknownst to the residents of the small New Jersey suburb, the girls endure unthinkable punishment at the hands of their Aunt and three cousins.

I have seen several movies based on the torture of Sylvia Likens at the hands of Gertrude Baniszewski and it breaks my heart every time. This one steered a little more off the story but the end result and horrific events still took place in 1965. This story is more horrific than horror but a good story nonetheless.
My score 3/5
