Truly utterly disturbing but less so than the actual case. So sad and wrong what people will do to each other...

I've seen, The girl next door , the fictionalized version of the true story but liked this more because of being more based on the facts behind the case that I'm horrified with. Knowing the story already, i wasn't surprised how dark, deep and tense at times this film was gonna be like, though not has much violence as the other version that made it easy to watch, some times I can get a little frizz on that kinda stuff because of it being based on a true story, but I felt Sylvia likens pain so I guess it felt the same. I thought Ellen Page performance was very strong, and the cast that supported her did a good job. RIP Sylvia likens.

The cast gives great performances (the kids being the exception, of course) but I thought this was ultimately a letdown but not a compete failure. Baniszewski was sympathized a little too much for my liking. I'm sorry, even for the 60s there's some evil in you if you were abusing children at this level.

Nice point of view of the torturers.

It'd be easy to just show them as evil demons having fun doing bad things. I liked how the script portrays what they might had thought, sometimes very subtle.

As the guy who had a crush on her and was rejected while she was still free, and later marked her. More

Very good performances from Ellen Page and Catherine Keener for quite an empty movie.

Could have been done much, much better with a proper direction and script.
