There used to be a sort of line drawn in the sands of horror that, for the most part, would skip on killing kids. Everyone else was on the menu, but for whatever reason, kiddos were off limits. Now, that isn’t always the case, of course. The Girl Who Got Away goes in for the specific reason of crossing that taboo line. This one might not be for the weak hearted.
The synopsis for The Girl Who Got Away goes like this:
Masena, New York. It’s 1998, and a decade of terror comes to a close with the capture of Elizabeth Caulfield, a serial killer who abducted and murdered the young girls she pretended were her own. All but one. Christina Bowden lives a lonely and unassuming existence until Caulfield escapes from prison. Under new investigation, the stories of Christina’s past begin to unravel. There’s good and evil in everyone, but as the lies are unearthed, Christina needs to choose a side before the darkness of her secrets swallows her whole.
This Michael Morrissey picture looks like it has some teeth. It will be on that we keep our eyes peeled for.
The Girl Who Got Away lands on VOD and digital beginning Aug. 20.
