After her widowed father dies, deaf teenager Dot moves in with her godparents, Olivia and Paul Deer. The Deers' daughter, Nina, is openly hostile to Dot, but that does not prevent her from telling her secrets to her silent stepsister, including the fact that she wants to kill her lecherous father.

Yes. Nina’s repeated sexual abuse by her father is shown as a significant, disturbing element of the film; many critics called the movie lurid or exploitative in how it handles that material.

No (in the strict sense). The film depicts ongoing sexual abuse and sexual assault, but it does not present prolonged scenes of torture with instruments or methods typically associated with “torture” as a separate spectacle.

Though the actress is an adult, one of the leads (Elisha Cuthbert) plays a teenage girl who is being sexually abused by her father.

Yes. The household contains sexual abuse, physical violence in an confrontation, and neglect (an alcoholic, drug-impaired mother) - so domestic violence and severe family dysfunction are present.

Camilla Belle's character Dot is deaf and mute. Several characters refer to her as a 'freak' and 'retard'.
