11 Horror Movies That Lied About Being Based on a True Story
While "Based on a True Story" can add a level of tension to a film, that claim is not always as truthful as horror movies make it out to be.
Does anyone remember that time in the late 2000s when so many scary movies were based on a true story? Imagine going to a theater to see something new, and after a few trailers, there would be one dark and ominous foretelling of a tale of bloodshed at the hands of some savage thing. And then halfway through, it would say, 'Based on a True Story.' The only thing wrong is that, based on what you saw in that trailer, it was so clearly not based on anything real. The usual cop-out for this was another tagline, 'Inspired by True Events.'
