The Girl Next Door - based on Jack Ketcham's novel. Starts off as some kind of Stand By Me lite, then turns into a really disturbing descent into the slavery and abuse of the titular chick. Ug. Some of the acting borders on high-camp, but it still left me feeling gross. It's no Sado, but it's still pretty fucked up.

that book is great. somewhat interested in seeing the movie but hate most modern "horror" movies.
i think "Red" by ketchum would be a great movie if done right.
Is that the one about the dog? I need to read that. TGND was pretty messed up. You can see what's goning to happen and what happens isn't pretty. Nothing is played for laffs and no one wins, it's downbeat as all hell. Made even stranger because the cast is virtually all children. It's certainly no Italian endurance test, but it still has a filthy, mean veneer.
this morning Extreme Prejudic (story by John Milius directed by Walter Hill). a great 80s action movie with one of the best all around casts ever. Nick Nolte, Michael Ironside, Rip Torn, William Forsythe, Tommy 'Tiny' Lister, and POWERS FUCKING BOOTHE! Texas and zombie corps special ops take on drug dealer boothe. pretty good and high body count. cheap action entertainment at its finest. a movie for guys who like movies.
Holy shit, that sounds great! Maybe I'll watch Conan now...
