'Like all the best extreme horror, What Good Girls Do leaves you with the urge to go and bleach your soul after reading...' Alex Davis, creator of Film Gutter She lives with no name. She has never left her room. All she has ever known is pain and abuse. Until now. Today, she will breathe fresh air for the first time, feel sunshine against her skin and even witness human kindness. But she has a point to make – a bleak, violent point – and when she meets her neighbour, Serenity, she finds the perfect pupil. Forced to endure a lesson distilled from a nightmarish existence, Serenity must face unflinching evil, witness the unspeakable, and question her most deeply-held views, until at last she has no choice but to fight for her family’s survival.

The powerful sequel to the indie horror hit What Good Girls Do. Several months after Elizabeth first emerged from the squalid basement in which she was born, the horrific consequences of her escape are still being felt - and not just by Elizabeth and her traumatised ex-neighbour Serenity. Closeby, blood-hungry men are plotting an unthinkable revenge. When a savage new nightmare engulfs Serenity and Elizabeth, they soon face the demands of a disturbed teen, the monstrous acts of a child-killer, and the depraved plans of those responsible for Elizabeth’s abuse and imprisonment. Trust is scarce, but with a threadbare sliver of hope the women must look beyond their grudges and mental scars in order to survive - or become the men’s newest and most brutalised victims. Merciless and unpredictable, What Good Men Do charts a suffocating descent into a world where cruelty is idolised, deviance is a lifestyle, and violence is always the answer.
