TempuraHmm…das mag sicher auf ne Menge movies (ähnlicher Art) zutreffen, aber hier sprachen Fakten für sich (sprich: Filmmaterial, welches vor Ort sichergestellt wurde)
Man kann das in der Pressedetailliert nachlesen.
Das ist einfach ein Werbetext, des Distributors, kein Text einer investigativen Presse.
IMDB liefert einen Auszug aus einem Interview mit Drehbuchautor und Regisseur Franklin Guerrero Jr:
ED: It says that CARVER is based on a true story, is this really true, and if it is, could you guys tell us something about it?
FG: Ah, now here’s an interesting bit of business, and I’m very glad you asked. This is one of the things I hear about most from people. A lot of them are kind of cranky about it. To those cranky people I say this: The operative phrase here is „Based on actual events“ as opposed to „Based on a true story“. These folks have scoured the internet looking for this ‚Halcyon Ridge‘ place only to find that it is fictional. Well, obviously this is my imaginary town, not on any map. (I used it before, and it’s the setting for the „Vampire Apocalypse“ adaptation Richard Finney and I wrote based on the Derek Gunn novel.) And obviously the actual events are greatly embellished. The victims themselves are purely the work of fiction. There is no Bryan & Pete. This movie is based on actual events the same way that TCM and Psycho are based on actual events. And no, it’s not based on Ed Gein like those two. Did some guy actually go into an outhouse, then get handcuffed while his nuts are crushed? Did someone then dress that guy up in different clothes to trick his friend into running him down with a truck to finish him off? Probably not. At least not to my knowledge. However, there is an actual case that the framework of my story is based on. The distributor does not want me to talk about the specific case just yet due to fuzzy legal issues. It pre-dates Gein though. So the short answer here is: Yes and No.
So the short answer here is: bullshit.
