The story is unique enough to warrant making a movie. However, this movie moved way too slow to hold a viewer's attention for very long. I wish this movie had been better because the story line is a very compelling one. Children respond to tragic events in many different ways. This movie does show that. This movie was frustrating because of the slow moving story. I watched it to the end because I really wanted to learn what happened. I won't sit through it again though. A good movie producer could make this story into a very riveting movie. Maybe there is a book on this true story. If there is,I highly suggest reading it. This story deserves to be told well.

Bastard Out of Carolina
(1996)
What a horribly sad movie. Watching it made me angry and sad.

The setting of this movie was interesting and the story line was heart wrenching. How can a mother allow such things to happen to her child? It sickened me to watch this movie but it is an eye opener. These sort of sick situations happen to real children in real life so maybe this will shed light on a horrible subject. I really wish the movie had a happy ending. I was so disappointed when the step father didn't die from the beating. He deserved to burned alive....HE is the evil bastard! The mother should have lost custody of her children. She was as evil as the Daddy Glen by allowing those horrible things to go on. I wish the doctor or police would have been more involved in helping to save the poor little girl. I didn't sleep well after watching this movie. It was well acted but the subject was over whelming real. Abuse towards children is real so I hope this movie opens some eyes to this horrific subject. Molestation is an act of pure evil.
