Thank you much for the links, exactly what I was looking for. However this has to do with is that they faked some publications on a website, referring to some articles that they said were written by a Nome paper that were not actually written by them. So in short, they are not suing over the movie, they are suing over website material. I don't know what this means as a whole really.

That said, I do think the purpose of the movie was to entertain (for those who like this sort of horror schlock.) I very seriously doubt there was any intention to educate, otherwise they would have based the movie on real accounts, not something that was made up.

And what reason is there to even "have a theory" that the movie is based on anything real? Because everything that is "factual" in the movie (location, people's names) has been demonstrated to be a lie. And the purpose of the lies were to lure gullible people into the theatres because they accepted the moviemaker's allegations that the movie is based on facts.
So what is it that is going to convince you that the movie is a hoax and a fraud? I mean pretty much every movie review I have read about the movie notes that it is very much modelled after the Blair Witch Project which was another hoax. Do you think the moviemakers are going to come clean? I somehow doubt they will while they are still raking in money off their con job.

Because they have "documented footage" that is supposedly filmed while this investigation was taking place. And the fact that they tell us that this is based off of real events and characters.

That is a good reason to believe that the movie is real. That doesn't mean they didn't lie to us though. Like I said, I am pretty much not believing it but I am still open minded. No one as far as I know has debunked the "documented footage" that the story is based off of. That is what I am waiting for.
