Amanda20102 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) OMG.... just watched the movie and now got the book on my kindle And all I can say is OMG.... The Girl Next Door 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. sorry if this is in the wrong place but for those interested there is another film that is more like the book called An American Crime Suburbia in the 1950′s. A nice quiet simpler time to grow up -unless you count the McCarthy trials and red-scares and the shadow of the Bomb and the Cold War, unless you could see the dark side emerging. And on a quiet tree-lined dead-end street, in the dark damp basement of the Chandler house, it’s emerging big-time for teenage Meg and her crippled sister Susan -whose parents are dead now, who are left captive to the savage whims and rages of a distant Aunt who is rapidly descending into madness. It is a madness that infects all three of her sons -and finally an entire neighborhood. Only one troubled boy stands hesitantly between Meg and Susan and their cruel, torturous deaths. A boy with a very adult decision to make. Between love and compassion, and lust and evil. Edited July 13, 2012 by Amanda20102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
