Our 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.
