More information about each of them can be found in this article.
The film "The Girl Next Door"
The painting "The Girl Next Door" was created in 2007. The film was shot from a book written by Jack Ketchamon. The events taking place in the movie are based on real facts from life. Everything that is depicted in this thriller about teenagers is genuine and created in memory of Sylvia Likens.
About the film
The film has an excessive number of violent scenes. Due to the cruelty towards the girl, the American Film Association has made an age restriction that allows you to watch a picture only after reaching the 17th birthday. The slogan of the film translates as: "In this city, murder became a neighbor's game." An important fact is the erroneous name "Girl opposite", which is common in Russia. The mistake is not only a translation, there is also a plot oversight, because the main character did not live across the street, but lived in a neighboring house. A year after appearing on the screens, the picture “Girl in the Neighborhood” (2007th) won the Outstanding Achievement in Film Music festival.
