There are the obvious choices that you've probably already seen like Wolf Creek (though the first hour to hour and a half were a waste), The Texas Chainsaw Mascare (based on Ed Gein, though it had nothing to do with him), Alive (not really horror, but there is cannibalism and its probably closer to the truth than reality-based horror), and An American Haunting (based on the legend of the Bell Witch, however I am not familiar with that particular legend). There are also the true-crime movies like Helter Skelter (about Charles Manson, but good luck trying to find it), Ed Gein (closer to the real story than The Texas Chainsaw Masacre, or Damher (now there was a colorful character). Of course, there are the shockumentaries as well - Faces of Death, Traces of Death (both of these are extremely graphic and should only be watched if you can take seeing some really sick shit), etc. Then again, most art (including horror movies) is a reflection of life anyway. After all, Shelly's Frankenstein was a bold statement about mankind's god complex and our inability to control what we create.
