First of all, I'm quite the fan of this unsolved murder having read all about it and watched the documentaries. So in watching the movie, I kind of had a biased view since I knew so much about the actual story.
The movie house is not the actual house which was much smaller. And the actual house did not have electricity, but did have a telephone. The family never electrified it while they owned it. It also had a barn/stable since the owners were still doing the horse and buggy thing and never purchased the latest invention...a car.
I hate that they turned this into a paranormal movie. The actual story was about a family of 6+2 friends brutally murdered during the night by an unknown killer. It was not paranormal. Why couldn't they have just recreated the original story as a period piece and not turn it into a teen/ghost possession/slasher flick?
