At the beginning of TCM there is a screen scroll that claims in 1973 this story happened.....guess what ....the movie was made in 73.
I still stand behind what I said before. "Inspired by" means that someone heard a story and decided to use one or one-thousand of the parts. This is not up for debate. It is a fact....plain and simple. I don't mean to be rude here, but what you're saying is asinine.
Plus you cannot , I repeat, CANNOT say that "they missed" anything. Tobe Hooper heard the story of Ed Gein from some of his relatives that lived near the city in Wisconsin where Gein lived. That story "inspired" him to write TCM. That is why it is "Inspired by".
I guess to you War of the Worlds was probably a terrible idea also. Your argument is not about wether or not the movie was good but that you feel you were mislead about it's trueness.
Way to go! You just proved reviews are not worth shit. Go see it for yourself.

Ok, so when you actually read what I wrote than you might understand that what I said was directed at the marketers and in this case New Line Cinema. When they marketed it as "Inspired By" and put out press kits with "evidence they obtained", they are trying to make you think it actually happened. What you said about them using part or one thousandth of a part of the story is just like what I said about saying it was inspired by Hawaiians because the movie had people in it. "Aliens" was inspired by a true story, the story of Henry Ford because he made a car that had metal in it and their ship was made of metal. My point was that they stretched and bent the idea, and than tried to push it like it was true. And yes, there are people who still think the movie was true. When it came out, loads of people believed it happened and to this day still do.

My arguement was about the marketing in that case. The rest of my review was about the problems in the movie.
