5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent unknown gem, January 2, 2006

By	Angry Ange (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This is truly a disturbing film. Not in the traditional sense though. There is no blood/gore or sex, or even typical movie violence. What there is, however, is a horrible look at parenting and/or lack thereof(please don't think of Flowers in the Attic and give up on this. There is no comparison). If you like movies that suck you in and don't leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling, check this one out.
