Helltown

The conspiracy theory investigative reporter is just terrible. This is a mockumentary that has some decent parts but the guy that does the investigation is like Corey Feldman"s less talented brother. You can find something better to do for 2 hours. I finished watching this abortion so you don't have to. You're welcome.

This was pushed on tv as a documentary. It's not. It's a movie with actors pretending to be genuine. It became apparent to me within the first 15 mins. Terrible over dramatic acting. At that point, I typed in the name of a "resident" online and it brought me here. The actors listed next to the people who were suppose to be real. Save your time. Not worth watching if you're looking for a true documentary.

Soooo fake. Insults one's intelligence. How did this even make it to TV? You can do better, Travel Channel!

This flick was okay, for what it was. But a fictional re-enactment that tries to obfuscate the truth of what it is just kind of insults everyone involved.

My wife actually thought this was real, when it was blatant that it was fiction.

We fought over this issue.

I moved to Northeast Ohio back in 1995 and when this "documentary" came on today, I'd wondered why I'd never heard most of these stories. I knew where Boston Township was, but had never heard of it being called "Helltown." So while I was watching it, I began looking things up on the internet. I became really suspicious when the supposed professor at Tri-C pronounced Cuyahoga "Coy-uh-hoe-guh." The more I researched, I finally found out this entire film is made up. The ONLY truth is that the government did start buying up homes in that location in 1974. It was to create Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area, not National Park. It did not get a National Park designation until 2000. The rest is utter BS.
