The girl next door

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0830558/
Meg (Blythe Auffarth) and her younger sister Susan (Madeline Taylor) has lost their parents in a car crash and now they live with the Chandler family.

Ruth Chandler (Blanche Baker) has 3 sons and thier next door neighbour David (Daniel Manche) knows them well, or at least he thinks so.

This movie starts in a slowpase wich reminds me both in chinomatography as in texture of Stephen Kings movie Stand by me (with is based on his novel The body). The girl next door is also based on a novel ( by Jack Ketchum) but that´s where the simularities ends.
The girl next door has been mentioned togehter with Martyrs, a review - aactually 2 reviews can be found here, and I can see why.
However, these two movies should Not be mentioned together becouse first of all; they are so good that they make it on their own. Second, Martyrs is the best movie ever made.
Third, The girl next door is not as brutally graphic but still effective and horrific.

As mentioned before, this movie starts of in a slow pase, I would say a bit innocent, and then nearly halfway in it shifts into a dark terrifying story wich actually in some way rapes your mind.

The acting is really good and I have to admire all of them for their bravery. Some scenes I was thinking to myself; There is No way that they gonna show that.. But they did.
It doesn´t go to far to that point that it makes it unbareable to watch - as for example Martyrs do in some scenes - alltough this is another of those movies that will not leave you that easily - infact it might never will. If that is becouse it´s one of the last decades best movies (it was made in 2007) or that it is based on true events… I guess it´s up to you to find out.
