i do not really know where to start . i be still deeply disturbed and have be for day after see this film . i do not think a film have ever affect me so much . the girl next door be base on the true ( yes true event ) story of a young girl name meg and her sister susan who move in with a foster mom after their parent be kill in an accident . the foster mom begin to abuse the girl and then single out meg and get her kid and numerous kid in the neighborhood to abuse her . she be starve and rap and beat and burnt and and many other horrible thing . she be abuse like this for 3 month until ultimately and she die . meg be play by the sweet and innocent blythe auffarth . she be so charismatic and look beautiful on screen . she play meg hauntingly well . whether she scream and cry in despair and or just lay look down right pathetic and she never lose the audience . you really want this girl to survive . you really want to kill the evil people do this to her . which bring me to our main villain . ruth chandler . she be play by blanche baker who i hat in this film . no and i do not hate her acting . her acting be amaze and which be why i hat her . she be vile and disgusting and evil and alcoholic and and she be the ring leader of the torment . you will absolutely hate her and want to kill her yourself . i know i do . the last person i want to point out be young david morgan . he play david mache and who befriend meg and even develop a crush on her . he start to notice odd thing about ruth and the way she treat meg . he begin to become uncomfortable with the situation and but he wasn not even ready for what be to come . when he first see meg tie up in the basement and he be horrify . throughout the rest of the movie and he struggle with his own self and try to distinguish wrong from right . he know what be happen be so wrong but yet he can not seem to do anything about it . well he try to help meg numerous time and but all be to no avail . you really want to grab him and shake him and say just tell someone . but of course you can not . and in the finale and he lay with meg in one of the most heart wrench scene i have ever see . he lay with her and cry a she slowly dy after some word to hi . david morgan really do a good job . i hope to see him in the future . the main thing that disturb me about this movie be the kid . it so disturb to me that kid so young and even old could commit such horrible act . it really be a disturbing film and if you be easily disturbed please do not bother with this film . and it be base on a true story once again and which to think about only will lower your faith in humanity . trust me and this be a super powerful film . positive star .
