“In this town, murder became the neighborhood game.”
Set in the summer of 1958, The Girl Next Door unfolds in a placid suburban enclave where recently orphaned sisters find themselves under the care of their unstable Aunt Ruth. As Ruth's twisted brand of discipline takes hold, the film delves into a realm of unspeakable abuse, involving not only her sons but also the neighborhood children and a 12-year-old boy who becomes the unwitting focus of Ruth's depravity. Director Steve Balderson crafts a chilling portrait of familial dysfunction and the lasting scars of childhood trauma.
