For ex. Texas Chainsaw Massacre was originally advertised as based on actual events...however, it turns out, that was not true. However, knowing it was "based on a true story" kinda makes it scarier...like the Exorcism of Emily Rose...the new movie is not really accurate, however the fact that it was based on Anneliese Michel's life makes it scarier than say Jason or something where aliens take over the world...

If true, I do agree that being based in reality adds something to a movie.

Once the movie rights are bought, then the directors will do what
they want, but pretty much stick to the baseline of the story. They
will add extra scenes that didn't really happen, just for the effects
so the audience will be more thrilled, or interested. Sometimes
moviemakers will change a true scene...just a tad bit...or make it
a little more exagerated. Personally, I really like FACT, no phoney stuff. If it's a true-story based movie, they should keep it
real.

Yes, it does matter because in these times of so much deception there must be truth in advertising. I agree that knowing a movie is based on fact makes it somehow more appealing, however, the movie never quite seems to get it right. They always have to snip at it to make it come out in the way they would like it to be.

I am always wary of films advertised as based on a true story. This is because most of those midday made for TV movies are advertised that way and those movies are ususally rubbish.

I don't like the kind of movies you mentioned,
but it does make it more interesting to know
that a movie is based on actual events

It should. There are a lot of important stories out there not getting attention and theses cheap movies put based on real events and then get lots of attention. It is also false advetising.

"not even a paragraph into the tale and he already ripped of Catcher contained in the Rye” not a tremendous commence...it may nicely be "ripped off" so it doesn't inspire me to study on and to be honest it replaced into war attending to that line. flow decrease back for your authentic 5 or 10 books and browse the first financial disaster and write down what that is that makes you want to flow on to financial disaster 2. attempt to seize that formula.

It's just a creative marketing ploy. The viewer should use their own discretion when separating fact from fiction.

Not really. It means, usually, the names are the same, and that someone else wrote the end for them.
