The Girl Next Door | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Nick Pinkerton Village Voice Beneath the 1950's seemingly placid exterior of Ozzie and Harriet normalcy, there were -- brace yourself! -- sinister undercurrents at work. Oct 16, 2007 Full Review The Girl Next Door | Rotten Tomatoes (2) V.A. Musetto New York Post There's little reason to see the movie. Unless, of course, you get off on watching the sexual exploitation of underage girls. Rated: 0.5/4 Oct 5, 2007 Full Review The Girl Next Door | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Neil Genzlinger New York Times The kind of movie that makes you wish you could rinse your brain in bleach, to wash all traces of it from your memory. Rated: 1/5 Oct 5, 2007 Full Review The Girl Next Door | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Scott Weinberg TheHorrorShow It's a dark, harsh, and sometimes powerfully unpleasant film, but it's also very well made. Aug 28, 2015 Full Review The Girl Next Door | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Lucius Gore ESplatter If you are easily disturbed, you should not watch this movie. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 25, 2008 Full Review The Girl Next Door | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Words simply don't do it justice; it's a masterpiece, and I'll never be able to see it again...

Audience Member Do not watch if you are sensitive to violent acts. This was a very sad story but the cast did well. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Audience Member IST JA TOTAL KRANKDer Hauptcharakter trägt weiße Socken in Sneakern. Was stimmt nicht mit der Jugend? Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/24/24 Full Review Wesley D Producers of this movie should be in jail. This is an unforgettable movie you desperately want to forget. Disgusting. No redeeming value. Terrible! Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/21/23 Full Review Cluedo Pretty brutal story but very emotional and well written Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Cynthia J I cannot believe it was even legal to make this movie! Talk about child exploitation!!!… That movie did not need to be made. I had to turn it off. It was so horrible. You can read about the true story. This movie is the creation of some sick minded individual and I cannot believe the people that participated in making this film. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/10/23 Full Review Lindsey N This was the grossest movie I've ever seen. I balled my eyes out. This movie is very sad and disgusting and if you have a weak stomach do not watch this. It was very disturbing and hard to watch. The things that happen to that girl was so sad and horrible, I wish she survived but I'm glad her sister made it out alive but Megan and Susan both deserved so much more. Megan definitely got worse treatment but they both suffered some type of abuse. I respect the little boy who stayed by her side but holy sh*t I can't even explain how bad this movie is. I do not recommend watching this only because of the stuff that happen in the movie, it's very gruesome. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
