This movie p-ed me off on so many levels.

That was about all it did. Made me mad. I seriously fast forwarded after Carla was killed because I just wanted to see the mom beat. But during the movie, I didn't understand how 4 teenagers wouldn't fight back more. At least after Cathy was shot. I feel like natural instinct would be to do everything to save your sister. And they were all old enough to realize that there is no way she could take down even 2 of them if they stuck together. It was overall a decent movie acting and plot, but it just makes you mad and sick. Child abuse is disgusting. The movie definitely portrayed it well, I just think the whole situation is kind of far-stretched. I'm sure it has happened, it just seems to me that it would be more likely of younger children or children who grew up with it. The movie made it seem like she had a sudden change so the kids knew the difference. Also, if a kid goes to a guidance counselor bawling, they don't take the parents word lol
