The purpose of horror films is to scare the audience, to make them sleepless or to make them feel uncomfortable. Although many successful horror films do well enough, their impact on us doesn’t last long, and we forget some of them completely after a few years. However, this does not apply to the films on our list. Without further ado, there are horror movies that you’ll be very uncomfortable to watch and never want to watch again!
The Girl Next Door (2007)
Directed by: Gregory Wilson
Starring: Blanche Baker, Daniel Manche, Blythe Auffarth
Based on Jack Ketchum’s novel with the same title, which is based on the true story of Sylvia Likens, who was tortured and killed in 1965 in Indiana.
The movie starts in contemporary New York City when 50ish stock trader David Moran (William Atherton) sees a homeless man hit by a car. He acts immediately to save the man’s life by giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Later, at home, Moran sits studying a drawing obviously made by a child. The incident that day has reminded him of a time in the summer of 1958 when he failed to act to save a life. The rest of the film proceeds as a flashback.
Teenage David Moran (Daniel Manche) is down catching crawfish at the local stream when he runs into the new girl in town, 16 year-old Megan Loughin (Blythe Auffarth). Megan and her little sister, ten year-old Susan (Madeline Taylor), have just moved in with David’s next door neighbor, divorcee Ruth Chandler (Blanche Baker) and her three sons. Meg and Susan have recently been orphaned after a car accident that left Susan crippled.
