The Girl Next Door
Overview
In a quiet suburban town in the summer of 1958, two recently orphaned sisters are placed in the care of their mentally unstable Aunt Ruth. But Ruth's depraved sense of discipline will soon lead to unspeakable acts of abuse and torture that involve her young sons, the neighborhood children, and one 12-year-old boy whose life will be changed forever.
The Girl Next Door is based on Jack Ketchum’s novel of the same title. Ketchum’s story is loosely based on the true story of the torture and murder of Sylvia Likens by Indianapolis single mother Gertrude Baniszewski in 1965.
