meg loughlin parent be dead and cause her and her sister to live with their aunt ruth . ruth be not like the other parent represent she allow the neighborhood child to smoke and drink and and have an intense dislike for meg for no real reason . after tell the police about mistreatment and meg punishment become more and more severe . first and let me say that blythe auffarth ( who play meg loughlin ) be an amazing actress . some of the scene in this film be truly awful not act awful and mind you and but be just visually repellent . most actress would say no to the torture and rape and beating contain in this film . and you can not blame them . but auffarth accept the role and do an amazing job of be the normal girl next door . while watch this film and i tell myself i have finally find the spiritual successor to last house on the left and my opinion remain the same . like last house and this film be scary because of it realism . the event could actually happen to the victim and it not just a psycho with an ax ( which and while possible and be more fantasy than anything ) . perhaps this film even trump last house in a way because the event really do happen and and actually happen bad than depict here . the real girl and for example and also have to consume human waste and which be not show here . make the film even more powerful be that we be show the event from the point of view of the neighbor boy and who have a crush on meg ( despite be a few year younger ) . we watch them meet and become friend and then a event spin more and more out of control we see how completely helpless the boy be . while the boy be only mildly harm in the film and it an emotional roller coaster to be put in his shoe know everything that be happen and have nothing available to remedy it . the suffering he feel vicariously and we also feel vicariously . it a pain train . i can not recommend this film for the squeamish . i be very uneasy watch it and make this film a member of a very exclusive list ( with such others a kid ) . even those who enjoy see a film of slaughter ( and sometimes i do ) will be shock in some way by this one . it not your jason or freddy film and it your sister or girlfriend really be kidnap and there nothing you can do about it . and yes and this really do happen and it can happen again .
