They just want to watch a good movie (and in this case, one that's scary and suspenseful). Man!" Audiences don't care if a movie is based on a true story. The only reason it's there is to try and provide some gravitas to the events on screen and hopefully elicit a reaction of, "Well, I would say this is pretty laughable, but if it actually happened. But an exorcism movie "based on the accounts of New York police officer Ralph Sarchie"? That means nothing! That's like a horror movie about Bigfoot saying at the beginning that it's based on the accounts of this guy who was totally attacked and kidnapped by Bigfoot this one time. Hell, some of the best films of all time are based on true stores. Like that means anything! Look, plenty of movies are based on true stories and are great. In Deliver Us from Evil, the latest horror film from director Scott Derrickson ( Sinister, The Exorcism of Emily Rose), before anything gets started the film's creators want the audience to know that the film is based on the real-life accounts of New York police officer Ralph Sarchie.
