Good movie, but not realistic! Over 3/4 of this story is exaggerated bullshit. However, it is a good film. Depiction of truth, not so much. This story was nothing more than a quick, money making scheme! George Lutz is a genius! I hate to say it.

Good, and terrifying movie, It's kinda accurate to the real story, Some people believe it, and some people don't, I believe it actually happened, But I don't know if some made up, It's sad what happened to that family
