Cape Fear is the remake of a 1962 movie based on a book, but Martin Scorsese's version took inspiration from a real-life crime for one character.
Cape Fear is considered Martin Scorsese’s horror movie, and adding to its horror vibe is the real crime that inspired one of the characters' portrayal. Martin Scorsese is no stranger to adapting stories to the big screen with his trademark narrative and visual style, and one of his most praised works is Cape Fear, a remake of the 1962 movie of the same name by J. Lee Thompson, based on the 1957 novel The Executioners, by John D. MacDonald.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Cape Fear is the story of Sam Bowden a lawyer and former public defender who is stalked by Max Cady , a violent rapist seeking revenge against him for using purposefully faulty defense tactics during his trial, leading to his 14-year imprisonment. Cady is also dangerously charismatic, and he not only manipulated Bowden’s teenage daughter, Danielle , but also his lover and County Courthouse clerk Lori Davis .
On August 26, 1986, the body of 18-year-old Jennifer Levin was found, and the autopsy revealed she had been strangled. Levin had briefly dated her murderer, Robert Chambers, who after lying to the police about the events of their last night together, ended up claiming that Levin’s death was an accident as he tried to push her off of him as she sexually assaulted him.
Is Cape Fear Based On A True Story? Although Scorsese’s Cape Fear took inspiration outside the source material to make Cady and the overall story scarier, more brutal, and more violent, the movie and the book aren’t based on a true story. MacDonald reportedly came up with the idea of The Executioners after he was challenged by a friend to break away from his usual writing style and do something risky, and he certainly did with Max Cady and his crimes.
