Short description

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.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The novel of the same name by Jack Ketchum is written from the perspective of one of the neighbors.
  • The film is based on real events. In October 1965, Sylvia Mary Lykens, born in 1949, died after prolonged torture, subjected to abuse by housekeeper Gertrude Baniszewski and neighborhood teenagers.
