Stephen King said about the movie, "The first authentically shocking American film I've seen since "" over 20 years ago. If you are easily disturbed, you should not watch this movie. If, on the other hand, you are prepared for a long look into hell, suburban style, "The Girl Next Door" will not disappoint. This is the dark-side-of-the-moon version of "Stand By Me"."
