What murders is the film the strangers based on.Did the girl live?

Answer 1

i looked in to this and the film was based on the directors own expeirience of kids knocking for some fictitious person to see if the house was empty to burgle it. the murder part was based on some of the book helter skelter about the manson family murder of sharon tate

Answer 2

The whole "based on a true story" claim was hogwash, at is was with "Fargo," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" movies, and many other supposed true crime stories. It's a marketing gimmick, or poetic license, call it what you will.
