Such an aweful, disturbing film. It has no redeeming quality, brainless characters and almost impossible to watch because of its hopeless plot.

While "An American Crime" was more of a psychological bent on the same story, this film took the difficult version to tell, the one that may have some people cringing. While the rawness of this film keeps it from a storyline that could be fleshed out more, people need to keep in mind that this is based on a true story. With that in mind, the acting and execution of such graphic content is quite well done. See it.

Fast unerträglich für den Zuschauer wird das Martyrium des Mädchens, das Opfer ihrer sadistischen Tante und Vettern wird. Das Ende kam leider zu abrupt und es fehlte mir die moralische Aussage des Films.

This is not raw or unmediated, just bad film making. The disturbing part is the treatment of the subject matter.

An awful film that goes nowhere with its subject matter. Really terrible acting, writing, and pedestrian direction. See "An American Crime" instead.

Do not watch this film. It has the disturbing Jack Ketchum horror stamp.
