That’s what Jack Ketchum’s Evil is about
After the accidental death of their parents in 1958, the sisters Megan and Susan are placed in the care of their mentally unstable aunt Ruth. 12-year-old David from the neighborhood befriends the beautiful Megan and sees her treated with contempt by Ruth and her three sons. It all escalates, from physical assaults to torture.
In the Moviepilot community, Jack Ketchum’s Evil received a solid rating of 6.5 and the fellow Filmstarts also gave it 3.5 stars out of 5 in their reviews. As if the above-mentioned praise of Stephen King himself wasn’t enough, the film is also described here as “for strong nerves” and as a “disturbing trip into human abysses”, who probably deserves the title “Evil” like no other.
Even more horror on Amazon Prime, Netflix and Disney+
If Jack Ketchum’s Evil isn’t for you, Amazon Prime currently also has a damn good horror thriller with extreme suspense and a harrowing twist at 600 meters, or the return of one of the most brutal series ever. Meanwhile, on Netflix, you’ll see fan-controversial sci-fi horror, and on Disney+, a disturbing horror nightmare is blowing your mind by the minute.
