10. The Girl Next Door
This 2007 film was a truly horrifying look at the abuse a teenage girl and her disabled sister suffered at the hands of their aunt and cousins.
Disturbing viewing
The Girl Next Door was far from light entertainment and shocked audiences with its detail.

But what makes this even more shocking is that it was based on the real abuse and murder of Sylvia Likens in 1965.
Tragic tale
Only 16, Likens was held captive and abused, eventually to her death, by her carer Gertrude Baniszewski, her children and neighbourhood/school friends.

The events that happened in the film were based on what really happened to Likens.
Shocking viewing
This is not a film for those who are squeamish and easily disturbed! It’s a tragic and horrifying film, especially when you consider the truth at the heart of the story.
