The Haunting in Connecticut Report Abuse
One thing that was not, true in this movie: No séances were conducted by Jonah. Joanh's character was added to the storyline to help provide an explanation for the supernatural elements of the movie.

Boys Don't Cry Report Abuse
Lana Tisdel sued the filmmakers, claiming that they depicted her as a drug-addicted drunk, citing that the movie makes references to her as "lazy, white trash and a skanky snake." The film also falsely depicts Tisdel falling asleep at the murder scene and "doing nothing about it after it has occurred," as stated in Tisdel's lawsuit.
