Is ReMoved based on a true story?
Yes. Everything that happens in ReMoved is based on real events, though not on any one person’s story. Most of the incidents are actually quite common — for instance, the cold shower to make a child stop freaking out. We tamed it down for the most part, not wanting to make the film too heavy.
