In Her Skin

Rachel Barber, a 15-year-old high school student living with her parents in Melbourne, is seemingly perfect -- beautiful, intelligent, talented, well-adjusted, and poised for wonderful things -- she draws endless hostility from her neighbor and former babysitter, Caroline Reid. Caroline seems to lack every advantage that Rachel possesses -- she's an overweight, homely 20-year-old with terrible skin, chronic depression, and a dysfunctional relationship with her parents. Full of bitterness and self-loathing, Caroline drums up an evil plan that will take Rachel's life. When Rachel then disappears, her parents immediately notify the police. The authorities are unfazed -- misinterpreting Rachel as just another adolescent runaway -- and can scarcely foresee the horrifying truth about the young woman's fate. Based on a true story.
