As someone who knows the real story, and didn't really have to look that far, this movie was despicable.
I mean, why would you ever make evil main characters based on evil monsters, seem sympathetic. What the hell is wrong with the writers and director?
It honestly makes me sick.
First, they don't show or even imply hardly any of the actual horrific things done to her. I mean, besides throwing her down the stairs, kicking her, and burning her with cigarettes. Which wasn't even 1/100th of the things done.
Then they focus on the "branding" part, and have her screaming, when she was already so weak and half dead at that point she didn't even scream. Plus, that was literally one of the least painful injuries she had done to her.
No one in that house gave a flying flip, gave her sympathy, or helped. The eldest daughter was just as evil towards her as the mother, where they have the damn nerve to show her being sympathetic in the movie. They show the middle daughter caring as well, like what?!? THEY WERE ALL SADISTIC TO HER.
Then they showed the neighbor teen, Ricky Hobbs, being sympathetic toward her, though, he was Gerdy's boy toy. He did what Gerde asked him, even using Sylvia as a sparring body for judo.
The rest of the stuff happened, it was just 100x more. So, I find it offensive and a spit in the face of Sylvia to completely twist the story. Not to give her the justice she deserves, and on top, ACTUALLY giving all the main MONSTERS involved, humanity!
Honestly, this movie should not be allowed to use the names and people, or even reference the crime, because it's an abomination. SMDH!
There is a movie about this crime, that actually gives Sylvia some sort of resemblance of justice, and that movie doesn't even use real names!! Not to mention a lower budget, and unknown actors, yet, they could somehow do a little research and TRY. It's called "The Girl Next Door" (2007).
