The Afflicted (2011)
Pure trash Good actors deserve better than this
5 September 2016 - 6 out of 10 users found this review helpful.
loosely based ( and I mean very loosely) on Theresa Knorr's story, this film is just a depressing , idiot plot mess. There are several times during the movie the children have opportunities to fight back, and even overpower the abusive mother. But they never do, because if that happened the story would be over. Characters do things in this cat box of a film JUST BECAUSE the writer wanted them to. The resolution of the story also feels tacked on. The writer/ director spends lot of time showing the girls being tortured, killed and even raped, but the resolution happens in the very last 10 minutes of this thing. I want the hour and 23 minutes of my life back that was wasted watching this.
