The thing that sickens me the most about what happened to her is that she was a completely innocent person. She did nothing wrong or bad and she was tortured for no reason at all. It really shows how evil people can really be. R.I.P Sylvia.
After I watched this movie the first time..I stayed awake all night thinking about it and STILL do. I'm kinda scared if gertie popped out of my closet. Fuuuxk.
Sylvia, my angel, may God eternally cradle you in his loving arms, and damn the vile bitch that killed you for a thousand eternities. R I P Precious One.
i wonder what the parents went through for having left the girls with an unrelated lady. they left those kids for a fee of 20$ a week. so sad those kids left with strangers. gertrude knew she could victimize those kids becuase they were throw aways. so sad, i hope gertrude has a hell like no other.
@darkski11ed The Girl Next Door is based on the novel by Jack Ketchum, who actually wrote the novel to honor Sylvia and based it off a lot of her story. So, in a way, yes xD
The silvia likens story is sooo gruesome just like the emmettt til and elizabeth short story and much more....R.I.P Silvia Likens. Sad that B*tch killed u cause ur beauty.
I live in Indiana and my grandma was working as a nurse at a hospital when Sylvia's body was brought to the hospital and my grandma saw her body. This is a very good movie and a very sad one too. R.I.P Sylvia!
@peetyq314 that how i felt when i heard of how she died you should look up junko furuta its similar to how sylvia dies they made movies on her too its so cruel :(
I think the girl next door is so much better. I mean it's very sad ,but a good movie. Now I know times then were very different ,but what was up with her parents to just leave these two young girls with a total stranger!! Iam so glad that the laws have changed, you leave someone with a complete stranger then your the one to also blame.
@Echnadin It Figures.....No one can enjoy a movie based on true events, and may i say those events were the most sick and twsted shit i ever read or watched in my life.......But yet we got stupid ass pervert fucktards mommies boys who are still living in there in the basement of there mothers home because they are not mentaly stable to take care of there selves like you.....So my advice is to grow up and stop being a disrespectful prick.
@Echnadin maybe i'll come tou ur house and i'll do the same shit to you..then we'll see how you love it u sick prick! its cuz of ppl like you this shit happens..go kill your self ur a disgrace to human kind and a scum of the world...scum like you dont deserve to live..go drop dead!
This movie is amazing but I wish it was more accurate. It kind of candy coats the facts... It is the saddest thing I have ever known. It terrifies me that these things can happen.
@mommamissi31 trust me if you read the real case files and compare it to the movie you will understand why they candy coated it what they did to her in reality makes this movie a childrens movie compared to that read up on the real case and mind your stomach its gross and head spinning
very sad movie this is my 3rd time watching this its a another movie kind of just like this called the The girl next door its more sadder than this kind of the same thing
@EragonTheDragon1 please don't remove this movie, I had it before on my playlist and it was removed by the person who uploaded it on here, so I ask that you won't take the movie off please.
It's funny that people are offended by your comment. Come on people! Look at how many people Hitler and Stalin killed! And let's not forget how many of the Native American Indians were killed under the early U.S. Presidents. And when you look at the news the majority of murders are done by white people. Anyway R.I.P. Sylvia. You're in Heaven now where no one can ever harm you again.
@Dedmaaan Coming from an African-American if you don't think black people are just as vicious as this white family was or white people period, then you must be dreaming because I've read nightmarish cases of child abuse within the black community that you wouldn't believe even if I presented you with the evidence. I'm talking about cases that goes back the 80s. Cases where a 4 yr old would get beat & tortured in his own home for an entire hot Summer all because he brought into this world.
@PopCulture20 It doesn't really have anything to do with race. All races of people are capable of unthinkable acts but yes 70% or more of the most notorious acts of violence happened at the hands of white men. Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Edward Gein, Charles Manson, Zodiak Killer, BTK killer. I've only read just a few comments but how did this turn into something racial anyway?
@Dedmaaan are u a negro or nip? cus im white and we dont call eachother crackers, tell me what u r,,,im sure i will have plenty of pages of history to go over w u,,,or police blogs
@Dedmaaan are u a negro or nip? cus im white and we dont call eachother crackers, tell me what u r,,,im sure i will have plenty of pages of history to go over w u,,,or police blogs....nice name btw,,,i know now tha ansa 2 ma ?
ellen page who acts as silvia in this movie was actually 20 when this was released.. she looks so much like a child! younger than the 16 yr old she was supposed to be acting.. her sister was supposed to be 15 in the movie... why would she be such a coward? i mean 15 IS old enuf to do what she wants to in a smart manner..
Was Gertrude ever diagnosed with schizophrenia or any other kind of mental illness? Or was she just one of those people who are bound and determined to do evil?
@SummerSunshine1988 I think she was evaluated, but never diagnosed with a specific mental illness. I think there was definitely something wrong with her, though. I mean, no normal human being can do all those things to one person and not be at least a little sick in the head. Maybe not shizophrenia or bipolar disorder or anything like that, but she was just...sick. Plain and simple. :/ Her daughter is just as messed up as her, too.
good movie

If I was her I would of wrote.
