That'll make you brown your trousers.

So is CW all over this or not?

I love that it's "based on a true story"

 

[NickTheGreat]

I grew up not far from there, but have never actually gone into the house.

Probably won't watch the movie either!

Wonder how much of this was actually filmed there?

 

[bos]

I look forward to the "Iowans are rubes" comments sprinkled in.

 

[srjclone]

"Girl, please. Nothing ever happens in Iowa."

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Did anyone notice the old man at the beginning was Uncle Rico?

 

[Stewo]

IS THIS A DOCUMENTARY?!

It's no "Christmas with the Kranks", that's for sure.

"Inspired" by a true story. Big difference.

 

[WooBadger18]

"Inspired" by a true story. Big difference.

Oh you're right, my mistake haha

 

[mapnerd]

"Inspired" by a true story. Big difference.

They just say that for the lawyers. It's totally true and all really happened. That's what I think. Seriously, it does look pretty fun.

 

[SuperTrooper]

"Inspired by true events" = This event happened at this place; nothing else in the movie is even remotely close to the truth.

 

[cyhiphopp]

Oh you're right, my mistake haha

Just like Titanic was "inspired" by the actual Titanic. Though there was a real Jack Dawson who died on the Titanic.

Says the guy whose avatar is a character IN THE MOVIE!

 

[JStanz51]

OMG. This is probably the biggest thing to happen to Southwest Iowa since Jimmy Stewart visited Clarinda in 1954.

So heated he was in SWI and I didn't know.

as someone who grew up pretty close to villisca and who knew the prev. owners of the house who ran it as more of a museum, not a big fan of the movie idea. I wont watch the trailer but it seems like they are trying to glorify the killer a little just from the main picture. The old owners of the house and the owners of the museum were very respectful to the Moore and Stillinger families and treated the place in a very somber way realizing that 6 children were brutally murdered in the location. The new owner seems to be the type that bought it to profit off the deaths and promotes it more as a horror location imo, nice guy and all but just talking to him, he is a little more into the gore and what not and not as much the history. Having spent a lot of time there, the whole thing just seems a little inappropriate....

Eh, it's a horror movie, it's not going to be super respectful. Just watching the trailer makes it look like the actual murders will only be 5-10 minutes of the movie, so they aren't glorifying the killer. The rest is dumb kids go to haunted house, get possessed by the killer, kill each other
