19) The Girl Next Door (2007)
Adapted from a true-life story, The Girl Next Door is the gruesome account of two sisters tortured without mercy by their caregivers. It has savage and merciless scenes; one among those darkly perceived films of the human psyche with violence as the subject. A gruesome exposure to violence and mental torture through brutal assault presents a haunting landscape of what occurred.
The movie raises questions of morality and complicity which leave the audience uncomfortable. Its unyielding stance makes it potent yet unsettling to watch.
