Horror Movies Based On True Stories That Are Hard To Watch

This movie tells the disturbing story of a teenage girl who suffers terrible abuse at the hands of her legal guardian and local children. It’s based on a novel, which itself was inspired by the true and tragic 1965 murder of Sylvia Likens. The film shows, in graphic detail, the long-term physical and emotional torment she endured within an otherwise ordinary home. Because of its raw and honest portrayal of cruelty, many find it very difficult to watch. It also emphasizes how those who could have helped failed to do so when the girl needed them most.
