Hölle auf Erden - Der Fall Laurie Kellogg

Does anyone know if this is a true story then what has happened to this woman now. Where are her kids and mother and step father. What about the other kids involved? What has happened to them. My daughters watched this movie with me, I thought it would help inform them about abuse and how not to handle it.

I feel so bad for Laurie Kellogg,and in many ways I can relate with her. I too have been in a past abusive marriage.Most people have NO idea what goes thru your mind when you're in a relationship like that.I was one of the lucky ones that managed to get away,but was haunted by memories for years,and at times still surface.I read a comment made by a judge that said "Theres a lot of law,and no justice".How very true.The actual victim is victimized again by the justice system!I'm sorry,What justice system?I feel that the movie may have had a bit of Hollywood drama added,but if you watch it for the context of the story,someone watching it may be able to save themselves.Abuse can be in so many different forms,and it's around each and everyone of us on a daily basis.Open your eyes,you may be able to help someone!

I grew up in Linglestown, and knew Denver McDowell. The producers of this movie took great liberties with the filming. The houses Denver and the Kelloggs lived in look NOTHING like the ones in the movie. Also, the town is LinglesTOWN, not LinglesTON. I do not know enough about the situation to know who was telling the truth, but I do know it would've been nice if someone would have actually COME to Pennsylvania and researched the area. Add to that the fact that the actors look absolutely NOTHING like the real people, and it makes it just more over the top.

The writing of the movie is simply just another Lifetime movie of the week.

This is a wonderful movie. It shows us just how venerable we as women are in our society. Our society makes us (women) dependent on our parents and men to take care of us. People who do not believe this do not live in the real world. Women do not have the same opportunities as men in the work place, etc.

I think this movie shows just how dependent Laurie was on Bruce and just how much she loved him and wanted and needed his approval. Jennie Garth did a wonderful job portraying Laurie, as did the rest of the cast portraying the other victims involved in this "crazy abuse trap". I think every young woman in their early teens should see this movie and learn early that abuse is not normal in relationships.

I survived one of those (murder trial) in l997 and understand more than the "average bear" about the our justice system.

The film shows how fast things can go horribly wrong and 'out of control' for todays youth.

This should be shown in High Schools across the country,
