An American Crime (2007)


A drama directed by Tommy O'Haver.
A carnival family drops their 2 daughters off to be cared for by a woman they just met. When one of the daughters lets out information about the woman's real daughter, the abuse begins.
This was dark, depressing and tragic... And really cool! The care taker woman is always sipping what I thought was whiskey, but it turns out that it was barbituates and the most dangerous cough medicine ever created (Coricidin). The other kids are all afraid of the woman and bring friends over to help torture the girl. There is a dream sequence near the end that fooled me for a little while, but it serves the plot well. I'm rating this good for being so negative.
