It I base on an unassuming family comprising of people like John and Kathy Lutz, who along with their three children procure a huge Island home, which happened to be a place of mass murder.

They heard voices during the day, witnessed various cold spots inside the home and even saw a green, slime-like substance oozing out from the walls. Though the researchers strongly defy the authenticity of the story yet the film made on it is quite frightening.
2) The Entity:
This film might appear to be a most absurd horror story but it tells the real life story of a single mother called Carla Moran with three children, who are plagued by a supernatural entity that abuses and rapes her repeatedly. In 1974, paranormal researchers Kerry Gaynor and Barry Taff investigated the case of a woman named Doris Bither, who lived in Culver City, California and claimed to have been physically and sexually assaulted by an entity.

4) Wolf Creek:
It is a story from Australia which talks about a story of three backpackers who find themselves held captive by a serial killer in an outback.
