Kinda OT, but in response to the "Based on a true story" mentioned above:

Based on a true story doesn't always mean it has to follow what happened. It merely provided inspiration to create the movie.

Case in point: Texas Chainsaw Massacre. They used the words "inspired by a true story" which prompts people to question whether or not someone actually wielded a chainsaw and killed people.

Nope! The story was simply inspired by real life Ed Gein, which shares similarities with Leatherface.

Looks like an interesting movie, but... I don't know. A good concept for a short story maybe, but 2 hour movie seems a bit much.
