Now people are talking much about The Girl Next Door Movie, seems it will be a super hot topic quite soon. Yeah, I like it too, well, let’s talk about it here.
First, let’s know a little more about The Girls Next Door, according to Wikipedia:
The Girls Next Door, also known as The Girls of the Playboy Mansion, is an American reality television series broadcast on the E! cable television network. The series was created by executive producer Kevin Burns and Hugh Hefner, founder and editor-in-chief of Playboy magazine.
The fifth season of the show started airing on October 5, 2008. A sixth season was confirmed by Hugh Hefner.
This description is about The Girl Next Door TV, which is not what we are going to talk here. We are talking about The Girl Next Door Movie. Yeah, they made a movie, a wonderful movie, exciting, I highly suggest you watching it.
As I know, there are 2 versions of the movie: One is in 2004, the other is in 2007.
Here is a brief plot about The Girl Next Door (2004): Based on the Jack Ketchum novel of the same name, The Girl Next Door follows the unspeakable torture and abuses committed on a teenage girl in the care of her aunt…and the boys who witness and fail to report the crime.
Here is a Synopsis about The Girl Next Door Movie (2007): In the tradition of RISKY BUSINESS and AMERICAN PIE comes THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, a sex-soaked teen comedy that actually has a heart. High school graduation is nearing for senior class president Matt…
Let’s take a look at what people say about it:
This is an excellent film and therefore in some ways it is a pleasure to watch, but anyone who has seen it will know that it’s effectiveness in fact makes it almost unbearable to watch.
The story revolves around two girls who have recently been orphaned and are sent to live with their aunt who has three young sons. She is a middle aged woman obsessed with feminine purity who sees the new arrivals as a potentially corrupting influence on the masculine world she presides over.
She actively encourages her sons to perpetrate more and more severe acts of bullying and sadism against the older girl who is eventually tied up in the basement and used as a play thing by all the neighbourhood children.
Only the boy who lives next door, who has become friends with the girl, has a growing sense of unease about the “games” which are taking a very sinister turn, yet he is powerless to change the course of events.
This film is very well written, directed and performed and is therefore a relentlessly depressing affair which is horribly painful to watch. The aunt is a very cold and manipulative figure whose brutality knows no bounds and her sons quickly warm to her ideals. Realising that they have a free reign under her they too become very savage. The culmination of the acts they perpetrate are some of the most shocking I have ever seen in cinema, all the more shocking because they are perpetrated by children, against another child, encouraged by their mother.
Truly gripping. Truly horrifying. Hard to watch and hard to look away.
This comment is about The Girl Next Door (2007). So what do you think about this?
I like both of the two versions, they are just wonderful. So which one is your favorite?
