this be an excellent film and therefore in some way it be a pleasure to watch and but anyone who have see it will know that it effectiveness in fact make it almost unbearable to watch . the story revolve around two girl who have recently be orphan and be send to live with their aunt who have three young son . she be a middle age woman obsess with feminine purity who see the new arrival a a potentially corrupting influence on the masculine world she preside over . she actively encourage her son to perpetrate more and more severe act of bullying and sadism against the old girl who be eventually tie up in the basement and use a a play thing by all the neighbourhood child . only the boy who live next door and who have become friend with the girl and have a grow sense of unease about the game which be take a very sinister turn and yet he be powerless to change the course of event . this film be very well write and direct and perform and be therefore a relentlessly depress affair which be horribly painful to watch . the aunt be a very cold and manipulative figure whose brutality know no bound and her son quickly warm to her ideal . realise that they have a free reign under her they too become very savage . the culmination of the act they perpetrate be some of the most shocking i have ever see in cinema and all the more shocking because they be perpetrate by child and against another child and encourage by their mother . truly grip . truly horrify . hard to watch and hard to look away .
