The ads for this movie sparked a discussion in my house about the phrase "based on a true story".

Eh ... there's a real forest people go to in Japan and it's very fashionable to hang yourself there. Given some of the cultural modes over there, it's not hard to jump from that to ghosts to "true" story. It's Amityville true. Posted by Leisher on Jan. 06 2016,11:07
Yeah, that's what started the conversation. When a 6 year old hears a horror movie trailer say "True Story" it gives parents something to explain.

It's never too early to teach the all-important lesson that people lie everyday, everywhere. Posted by TPRJones on Jan. 06 2016,11:51
Sometimes "based on a true story" just means "based on lies previously told by someone else".
