Synopsis

Based on the Jack Ketchum novel of the same name, The Girl Next Door follows the unspeakable torture and abuses committed on a teenage girl in the care of her aunt… and the boys who witness and fail to report the crime.

MUBI's take

Set in suburban New Jersey in 1958 and based on the notorious torture-murder of 16-year-old Sylvia Likens, this is a film about the very nature of horror and man’s capacity for pure evil. The Girl Next Door is both a psychological drama and a relentlessly disturbing account of child abuse.
