I watched this movie on Lifetime of all places.  I won't lie.  Lifetime is a channel that is primarily for women and since I am one, I like Lifetime and now a few guys who like it too and won't admit to it openly.  Shut up a-holes, its good!

You can watch it here on the Lifetime Movie website if you have Comcast XFinity or Verizon FiOs.  Other providers are listed there, too!

Otherwise, Committed is available here.

Deadly Blessing - Martha and her husband have made a wonderful home for themselves on their farm 'Our Blessing'. Tom, Martha's husband, was a former Hitite, a religion that is much stricter than the Amish religion. When Martha and Tom married he was cast out of his community for marrying an outsider and they chose to settle close to the Hitite settlement on the farm they purchased.

The Girl Next Door - is based on the accounts of unspeakable horrors that occurred  in the Midwest in the late 50's.

Naturally he is infatuated with Meg and decides to go over to see her, not knowing of the horrific events that will transpire in the Chandler home.  

No one in town knows that the girls' Aunt Ruth is a sadistic psychopath who takes pleasure in the pain of others. Her three sons have less than pure intentions for Meg, when David catches one of them in the act of tickling her.  This is when the true horror of "The Girl Next Door" begins.
