The horror that goes on in my home is for me to know and my child. I realize abuse is not right and I don't care if I am abused. I'm so used to it but seeing this movie made me realize I don't have to keep being here. I've lost my will, my strength, my dignity and I don't know what its like to live without being abused. And my parents are dead just like this girl. I pray to God to help me and my daughter.Melindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-58478952126174434762010-03-07T02:54:22.431-05:002010-03-07T02:54:22.431-05:00I couldn't even finigh watching the movie.

I think the movie captures that pretty well.<br /><br />I wish the acting had been a little better, but it's still hard to deny its power.Chris Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360811267835990523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-47291302375897851112009-12-17T09:58:28.786-05:002009-12-17T09:58:28.786-05:00Thanks Chris!

I watched it about a year after reading the book, and...dare I say...the book definitely lessened the movie's intensity!<br /><br />And by the way, I just started following a day or so ago.

It was one ...I reviewed this one not too long ago. It was one of those "I'll never watch that again" movies for sure. I think I said somewhere in my review that usually during disturbing movies, you can tell yourself that it's OK because it's just a film. But with this one, you don't have that luxury. Sure, the details were a bit skewed from the actual Lykins case, but that doesn't change the grim reality that all of these people were complicit in the torture and murder of an innocent girl. I think if this movie achieves anything, it shows how the suggestion/dictation from one dominating voice can make groups of people commit atrocities.Matthttp://www.noroominhell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-77683414880362648522009-12-17T00:08:57.843-05:002009-12-17T00:08:57.843-05:00This was one of the most disturbing books I've...This was one of the most disturbing books I've ever read.
