The Axe Murders of Villisca (2016)
Well, the Villisca part is the backstory...and that's it.
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?
