Really liked both films. A harrowing tale. Hard to conceive that it really happened. |
Thanks for reminding me about 'An American Crime', a film I meant to track down but ended up forgetting. Notice it's on Lovefilm, so I might watch it now. It's a toss up between that and 'The Amazing Transplant'... hmm, which to go for, harrowing awfulness or mindless trash? Might watch both if I have the time, but it seems wrong!
