Court TV Hollywood Heat Hounddog An American Crime

[jaimekstillo1]

1:14 they look as one, they are like sisters

[peugteobike]

R.I.P Sylvia you will never be forgotten.I heard later his sister jenny passed away in 2004 of a heart attack R.I.P Jenny/Sylvia

[jammardhee]

I've read on Wikipedia 'bout Gertie's hearing after her parole.. she said she's on drugs that time happened and she didn't know what she's doing..*fuLL of sH!T!! even dogs know how hurting feels....

poor sylvia..she's innocent.. R.I.P sweet girl

[DisWldFrk90]

That's not why I figured he didn't put all the horrific parts in the movie. I figured he thought that if he included all the details he wouldn't get as many audience members that were able to watch it because they wouldn't have the stomach to take all of it. It was terrible in the movie it's horrible to think that the real crime was a lot worse than shown in the movie.

[queenmother123]

That movie was so intense and I still can't believe that happend . Kudos to Ellen Page for taking on such an exhausting and horrific role.

[YellowElf13]

American Crime was so sad...I cried like crazy. May Slyvia rest in peace. Its so terrible what happened to her. That crazy bitch who tortured her should rot in hell. I know its wrong to say things like that, but i just cant help myself. I couldn't even watch most of the movie. She should have been tortured to death just like that poor innocent girl! Omg, i need to calm down.......Ok, sorry for saying that guys.

[CheckMate77777]

Jenny from forrest gump, there she is, hardly see her anywhere

[Sk84love]

she was in rob zombies halloween she played michaels older sister

[doowoptramp13]

whats hounddog about?

[billj500]

At least the crazy bitch responsible for these atrocities spent her last 20 years of life in prison before dying a horrible death from lung cancer. And now she is burning in hell with Jerry Falwell!

[candieondabch]

yea but she was free for 5 years first.

[cheks900]

yeah i saw it at fliksgallore for free just google it. the movie is soo sad.

[145gfgh]

These movies look ace I want to see them so release them in uk so I can.

[soin2CC]

[de1258]

[DakotaFanning13Fan]

how on this earth can some one do that to a girl it makes me mad to no that some thing like that did happen how sick can people be.

:(

[dramaqueen465]

she just randomly started abusing the poor girl for no reason and how the hell do u have the heart to beat and crippled child (Jenny. maybe gertrude was crazy or maybe she was just a she-devil, maybe she was both but one thing's 4 sure, she's going to burn in hell!

[gene53945]

wtf?

[DaedalusIV]

oh man, another film bout sylvia. you guys could check out similar film by jack ketchum's the girl next door indie film.

[Lillzum93]

I haven't seen any of them, but I guess that this one is much better.

[678BUMPERLOVER]

i seen that one and that one was sick

[AmericanGirl26]

which one hounddog or american crime

[678BUMPERLOVER]

nether one i saw the girl next door

[hiblackie]

American Crime is the best one as it is based on the true story!

[JahGolden]

you saw an american crime?????

[678BUMPERLOVER]

no the girl next door

[beusin]

I hope Gertrude burns in hell; this is one of those cases in which they should let the victims family take it on the abuser. Id be glad to put my own hands on that evil woman!

i wish there werent people like her :(

[boricua2005]

well, she died already, maybe your wish has come true. She has been dead since 1990.

[rgz1985]

I hope it fuckin hurt when she died. I hope that cancer made her suffer

[metadidi]

woah

[KayoRepresent]

I've read just about every child abuse case that gained a fair bit of attention, and after reading them it seemed that in every case the ''social workers and the police'' practically did nothing. And the laws about caring for children who's parents cant care for them always change after the child who was being abused died. All I'm trying to say is that the social workers and the police could of done more, and that the laws should of been the way they are now back then.

[sweetkittens]

guys Google search Sylvia Likens and read the real story what happen to her and sister

[KayoRepresent]

When i read the part were Getrude said she remembered nothing upon her release from prison, i went seriously psychotic. Everyday i think about what happened to Silvia her story is permanently stapled into my head, But then again its something i never want to truly forget. I'll remember it as being the ''cruelest and most brutal thing to ever happen to human being''.

[moonchildiva]

Yes, Gertie should have gotten the death penalty, along with those "teens" who helped her KILL Sylvia. They should have sat in her lap one at a time, but I guess that wouldn't exactly be possible.... they could have figured out a way! I hate this story and yet, I'm obsessed with it. Thinking of Sylvia in October, the month she died. There's a myspace site for her, btw. This crime seems like not only the worst in Indiana, just the worst ever period.

[Zetnov]

It is funny to see everybody discusing stupidities when it is only a movie.

[def671]

a movie based on a true story so everybody isnt discusing stupidities retard

[Zetnov]

it is still a movie... retard.

[shadyklyde]

your fucking stupid

[Zetnov]

sure...

[boricua2005]

okay, I think it's pathetic how anyone can be fighting and insulting one another about a movie that depicts the real life events of a 16 yr old teen. Please grow up and show some respect for Sylvia Likens and take your insults elsewhere. Thank you

[Zetnov]

It is still a moooooooooooooovieeeeeeeee

[boricua2005]

no, it's not ONLY a "mooooooooooovieeeeeeeeeeeeeee­". It is also a real story.  Your argument about "it's ONLY a movie" isn't true, but of course, if you had done just a little research, you would know that.

[Zetnov]

i know

but anyway it is a movie

[boricua2005]

yea, tell us the obvious.

[ashley101verve]

i feel really really bad for the girl she didn't even get her driving liences (cant spell ) thats pretty fuck up for that woman to do to her she didn't derseve it . she did all this because of a late check thats so stupid and the people who didt really reconize what was happening are fucked up too !!! =(

[bquehe]

she didn't even get her drivers license? WTF she didn't even get to live! She was forced to eat her own feces and urine, she was beaten to death and made to masturbate with a coke bottle, she had prostitute carved into her stomach and she was tied up in a basement and starved.I am sure a drivers is the last thing that she wanted. What that child went through is unimaginable.

[arumanti]

fuk dakota violation

[AngelOfSakuras]

dakota should shut her mouth. she only went to that scene for an oscar! plus the director, Deborah, is a pervert. before Hounddog, she made a movie called Virgin, where the girl or boy was raped as well. and they said that hounddog will not go into theatres or dvd

[originalbeth]

Gertrude should have got the death sentence.

[rgz1985]

Sylvia was forced to eat her own feces and piss. Sylvia died alone and cold feeling helpless. This woman, Gertrude deserves a worse sentence than death

[freudianslipXlynzi]

And she got out of jail in the 80's!

I can't believe it.

I've been born and raised in Indianapolis, and everyone always talks about this event.. :/

I just don't understand how something like that could happen.. :/

my grandma was friends with someone in relation to Gertrude.. but I'm not exactly sure how they were related.. :/

[rgz1985]

Hi!

[Superapplefrog]

I can understand the Dakota Fanning movie (I've read a lot about it and can see why it was done) but the American Crime one is just making money from murder for no good reason. Sick

[raaawrmonster]

they are doing the movie for Syliva Linkens. you know, the 16 year old who was tortured by over 40 different people in a basement for 4 months?! forced to eat her own feces, burnt by cigarettes, forced to put a coke bottle into her vag., and all around treated in a sick and disturbing matter by sick and disturbing people.

i hop gertrude went to hell when she died. that lung cancer better have tortured her more than she did to Slyvia. RIP Slyvia.

[Superapplefrog]

How are they doing it for her? The Dakota Fanning movie wasn't sensasionalising any specific child rape crime, yet this movie uses a real crime to bring in the bucks

[kittyep8]

oh my god! like.. thats terrible.. the story.. the movie.. whatever it is about sylvia! wow... im like.. i cant believe her own children helped with the abuse.. i mean.. i thought they didnt know all that was going on.... wow.. seriously..

[chommpers]

I live in Indianapolis and have seen the house. Very few people in the neighborhood know the history of the house.

[ashley101verve]

i didt know that ,i seen the house also ,they should put killer all over the house because she the worse person that could be !!!

[dearclaudia]

All I have to say is you are all making a big deal out of nothing. This movie is being released in the USA on August 17th, 2007. True, it will be a limited release, but it is still coming to theaters.

[raphaelarj]

Thank you for that video. I can't wait to watch this movie.

[xEffyx]

I`d like to see An american crime when it's released,I think ellen page is amazing.

[chairde]

Well it has been about two months now since this movie clip was posted and still this movie has not been released in the USA. Why???? Because the money people don't want a court battle in the USA.

[peaceproductions]

poor sylvia :[

[lancestone123]

Sylvia Likens was so beautiful

[chairde]

Under Federal Law (Title 18 chapter 110)sex acts involving children in films either real or "appears to be" real are kiddie porn. Be aware that any 'discussion' could end up in court. Only a moron would show this movie in the USA.

[PixieSpells]

That's only when they show actual nudity. They don't in the film. Takes a moron to mistake it for kiddie porn.

[chairde]

No no PixieSpells, it only takes a Judge.

[PixieSpells]

News Flash chairde, a Judge needs evidence.

[chairde]

That is why no one is showing this movie in the USA. Bad movies are shown all the time but this movie was never shown in the US. Why? Because then there would be clear evidence for a judge. Why don't you go to a video store and see if you can rent it? Let me know how you make out!!!

[PixieSpells]

Um...its not released in theatres yet. But its going to be. They wouldn't go to all the trouble of making this film if it wasn't going to be released in the USA. If you can rent "pretty baby" in video stores, and I have, you'll be able to rent this film, ONCE it comes out.

[chairde]

It will never be released. At one time they probably thought that they could slide this one through. This is proof that artists should read the law before wasting money. If they wanted to fight this in court they would have already released it. It could be released in Europe where the laws are different. Most likely they used the film festival as a trial balloon.

[SailorBarsoom]

The movie couldn't be released before it was finished! I know a lot of movies make it from theaters to DVD quickly, but before the movie is even finished?!?!

[shadowkat1011123]

i heard about that xD my mom told me about that and i saw that case on cold case files once when they had another case on they talked about the girl for like 2mins and went on about the newer case of a girls disapearence

[BethanyJill]

....And which part of that is funny?

[shadowkat1011123]

the laugh was funny cause it was a run in after my mom told me about it

[johnny433333]

court tv

[vdag94]

Ok..?
