  Greetings Cinephiles of the #CineTV Community, today I want to make my last-minute participation in the initiative formal: Cine TV Contest #116 and for that I took the liberty of making a brief opinion of the 5 horror movies based on real crimes. I'll go from the most traumatizing to the one I liked the most. And be warned that some of my opinions contain Spoiler.

  This is a 2007 movie, starring Elliot Page, who at the time was Ellen, and well basically it's about a lady named Gertrude Baniszewski who went on a rampage with a girl she kidnapped and locked in her basement. This girl, a victim of that cruel woman suffered from multiple rapes, beatings, and many other dirty things just because they could.

  The worst of all is that the woman involved her children and her neighbors, where each one of them participated in this act of human cruelty towards an innocent girl who had no reason to live with what happened to her. Sadly she dies and it seems that her crime is not solved. I saw her many years ago and it left me so upset for months that I spent several weeks crying to imagine all that this little girl suffered.

  This movie is from 2003 and stars Jessica Biel who did an excellent job. It was one of the first Gore movies I saw (not knowing the term at the time), it also traumatized me and left me sick but not as bad as the previous one.

  For me, it was horrible to see what a group of people can do to another person just because. This terror is another level. In this case, if I remember correctly, everything was solved and they managed to catch the murderer and his accomplices. And yes, I was a masochist and watched the second part that they titled the Origin of it all, that one left me just as bad as Eliot Page.

  Baby Reindeer, rather than being a horror movie where someone dies, is a series of a few chapters about someone who is stalked by a woman who at first glance has problems. But more problem is the one who let this woman into his life.

  This series traumatized me on a psychological level but at the same time I loved seeing how low someone can sink to such a point of depravity and then seeing how they get over it at a certain point but what left me bad about it is that they leave you open to the possibility of him repeating the experience because the guy himself is a masochist.

  This is an unpopular movie because it is a real case that happened in Italy. In a small town where crimes rarely happen, a girl named Yara dies at the hands of a man who wanted to rape her and because she resisted he hit her in the head and left her fainted. The girl eventually died of hypothermia.

  Although her death was quite unexpected, she was considered missing and when she was found it was too late. It should be noted that the police in those years were quite negligent and when it came to the hands of a lawyer who supported the family to give them peace and catch the murderer, she decided to go to the highest-ranking police in her country.

  There, an extensive investigation was carried out, which in turn initiated the collection of data based on the person's DNA. So the death of Yara in the end was not in vain. I liked it in spite of the ending it had and thanks to this movie, I used the girl's name to name my beloved little dog who lives up to her name.

  This is the series, not the movie. Of all the ones I name, I will go so far as to say it is the best of all the ones I have seen. Although the cruelty of this man was at a very cynical level, the series was excellent and the best thing is that justice was done at the end.

  For me, this man was very bad, he was hopeless and beyond repair. The only thing I didn't like was how they caught him, it was most absurd, and a woman insisted and called the police as many times as she could but because she was colored they never paid any attention to her.

  Well this was my 𝚃𝚘𝚙 𝙵𝚒𝚟𝚎 of crime movies based on true events that I found quite horrifying. The first two I only dared to watch once, as well as the Baby Reno series, I mean I just didn't feel like it. Who would want to watch something so horrible twice? Definitely not me. I'll say goodbye then. See you next Wednesday! 💕
