And now about the movie.
I didn't find this story as cruel and disturbing as i feared for one main reason. I didn't believe it.
There was just so many things in this movie that wasn't explained, Like:
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
What was the moms problem towards the girl/girls? What was all her hatred rooted in?
Howcome she had such a twisted view on everything?
What was her childrens problem towards the girl?
Why did they happily go along with their mothers torture?
Why didn't the cop do shit the first time he droped by? He just left right away.
Why did the neighbourhood kids all enjoy watching the girl get tortured? Without a single kid telling.
END OF SPOILERS END OF SPOILERS END OF SPOILERS END OF SPOILERS
Well, that was just some of the questions i could think of.
All in all an unpleasant view, but not convincing enough for the viewer to forget that it's JUST a movie...

The movie wasn't really a favorite, it was one of the best though I think. Angra?! None of those are questions that the movie failed to answer. Do you have any idea of what people are capable of doing if an authority figure is present? What easier minds to poison than a childs? Would you have told your parents? What did the cop see the first time he dropped by? Nothing, why would he do anything. Ruth's past isn't explained, but you can figure it out. It's based on a true story by the way, in case you didn't know so that should throw the unbelievable part out because the events were basically the same.
All in all I wouldn't watch it again and it wasn't a fave, it was disturbingly real
and definitely one of the best films made for 07 though.
