The Girl Next Door is the best horror film of 2007
01/14/08
Words simply don't do it justice; it's a masterpiece, and I'll never be able to see it again...
12/04/07
Beneath the 1950’s seemingly placid exterior of Ozzie and Harriet normalcy, there were -- brace yourself! -- sinister undercurrents at work.
10/16/07
Top CriticA super-realistic horror flick that's so relentlessly-disturbing it's likely to trigger debate as to whether the filmmaker might have left too little to the imagination.
10/16/07
It's a dark, harsh and sometimes powerfully unpleasant film, but it's also one that's made with a lot of care and craftsmanship.
10/07/07
Based on Jack Ketchum's deeply disturbing novel, Gregory Wilson's film explores the dark bond between an embittered housewife and a group of apparently ordinary suburban teenagers that leads to torture and murder.
10/05/07
To say the film is disconcerting is an understatement.
10/05/07
There's little reason to see the movie. Unless, of course, you get off on watching the sexual exploitation of underage girls.
10/05/07
Top CriticThe kind of movie that makes you wish you could rinse your brain in bleach, to wash all traces of it from your memory.
10/05/07
Top CriticLike some demented cross between a Norman Rockwell painting and an Eli Roth film.
10/03/07
L'expérience que nous propose Wilson se veut si intense et le malaise qui s'en suit si profond qu'il serait surprenant que plusieurs désirent la vivre une seconde fois
10/03/07
The film is stuck with an utterly quotidian screenplay that never truly provokes the viewer.
10/03/07
Much more than just your basic sadistic horror thriller, The Girl Next Door redefines the notion of guilty pleasure as raw and potent allegory, and corrective to the US culture of conformist collective complicity.
09/29/07
Not as bloody as 'Hotel 2,' but because we know that the horrific events really happened, 'The Girl Next Door' is at least as scary.
09/27/07
The film is quite disturbing and some scenes are difficult to watch.
