In a quiet suburban town in the summer of 1958, two recently orphaned sisters are placed in the care of their mentally unstable Aunt Ruth. But Ruth's depraved sense of discipline will soon lead to unspeakable acts of abuse and torture that involve her young sons, the neighborhood children, and one 12-year-old boy whose life will be changed forever.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I found this film in a list of best torture films. I love saw and hostel and was hoping for this kind of thing. It's a slow burner at first, it sets the scene for over half an hour and I began thinking am I watching the right film? But when it starts it REALLY starts. I could say a lot about this film, like how the main guy could have done a lot more to help the situation. But I won't say much because I want you to watch it knowing and expecting nothing like I did. What I will say though, is I actually cried at this film. And I don't think I've ever done that in a horror film before. Enjoy!

Since this was advertised as a horror film, I was ready. But in spite of that it did creep up on me. I was properly horrified or rather disgusted at the end. What a waste of an innocent human being. Worthless cruelty.Anyway what interests me is the villain, the woman. I don't know what was wrong with this woman. What was her theme? She had some idea women are corrupt and should be punished. There you have it. Women are not corrupt. What was corrupt in her? That is not stated ... or I missed it. What do you think? This woman may have been a full psychopath, but what about our own experiences? Have you ever been mistreated or seen mistreatment on an innocent? This movie is about what it can lead to. In a closed world where you can do anything, one can take out their frustrations using beliefs which show one's own delusions of reality. If you see this happening be wary and be ready to do or say something right at the start to hold off escalation.

If you haven't yet seen the movie, please don't. It will not only waste an hour and a half of precious time, which you will never get back. But it will also leave you wanting to punch the wall until your knuckles bleed. Anyone who rated this over 2 stars is clearly a troll trying to ruin your movie night. Where do I begin? The acting was worse than that of a third grade school play. I have no idea where they found these actors but none of them showed a single genuine emotion during the entirety of the film. The way the dialogue was written was even worse, if possible, and every line seemed rehearsed an unnatural. On top of that, the actions of the characters made no sense what so ever. Imagine how irritated you get when a character does something completely foolish in a bad horror movie. That's what this movie does to you, but way worse and all the way through to the end. The story might have been an okay one, yet it was completely slaughtered by how badly the movie was executed. Now you may brush this review off saying I just don't know what I'm talking about, and I can admit that I'm not in any way a professional movie critic. But I love watching movies and I've seen almost a thousand films in my lifetime. This is the single worst one of all of them, including the ones my classmates made in high school with a cheap camera as some half-ass school project. Some bad movies can be charming and entertaining in their own way, or even funny due to how badly made they are. Not this one though. It's as if the director had never even watched a film before making this one, and no one on the set was brave enough to tell him how awful it was going to turn out.I'm glad I got to get this off my chest cause this movie made me so angry that it literally ruined my night. I hope you don't make the same mistake that I did. Find a different movie to watch tonight, and it will save you the energy of getting totally furious.

To begin with,In My Humble Opinion(IMHO)that being this is a"Based On True Events"(BOTE)movie,I think that as an addition to when it comes to Movie Genres,they should respectfully come up w/it as a Genre type as well,versus only at the closest/best form of saying such,is using Drama,when listing the movies genre types(like all other movies list).Although,Im not sure if Im alone in this idea,or thought??...Otherwise,this"BOTE"film had actors w/difficult roles to play as characters.I thought theyd all did great work playing their character parts throughout the film,beginning to the end,rather well!I will say even for liking horror flicks as 1 of my Top Favorite genre's,although it was definitely different in watching a movie this horrifying,knowing itd really happened,made it more of a"Horror"to watch because of the reality of it,&can only wonder if that fact also made it"feel"different as a character role to the actors.It Both,captivates you to watch from the beginning,&yet its hard also to keep watching,but you do,as it tears at your heart as well-it did for me!To see this films story told,&yet is just one example of some of the horrible things people have done to others!Especially when it comes to kids,teenagers,even young adults!!Bottom line its a good film made that got the altogether story line across to viewers...(On a side note,After this movie was made,there was also another film made thats a comedy,w/the same movie title,that I feel like is a faux pas,if not inconsiderate to this movie,IMHO...)
