A REALLY good movie about this story

So I was thinking how great of a movie you can make of this. I have no idea whether the family killed him or not, but the story can start with the con artist and them taking him in and everyone thinking the French guy is a manipulator and the family is naive. And then it turns out they killed the boy, so while the French guy thought he was manipulating them, they were manipulating him. A good director could make a really suspenseful and creepy movie out of this.

I've found out more about the case and perpetrator's back story from newspaper articles than I did from this movie.

I thought the same thing! This could be a great movie with an AMAZING twist once the blame shifts to the family who were previously presented as the victims.

When I told my sister I was watching "The Family" and liked it so far, she said that I would like this documentary 'the imposter'. So, maybe "the family" is similar but we won't know 'til the end of the series.

I thought that they should make a movie also, along with that twist. 😉

The Chameleon (2010) was based on this story.
