Fred and Rose West
What lead me to this forum was a search for forums related to Fred and Rose West. I haven't had any luck finding topics about them here so I'm starting one! As a newbie, I don't want to launch into a big spiel about them...Kinda just dabbling my toes here, lol...

I am pretty sure there is a movie on this case. Mr West comes across as a mousey man and they keep remodeling the place and backyard to get rid of the bodies. I have seen it and if there is a different story then there are 2 sick stories both in England. IMO

There hasn't been a film about Fred and Rose. There was quite a famous 'House of Horror' film about a case in the forties, John Christie called 10 Rillington Place, if perhaps thats the one you had in mind. The West case was about 12 years ago but still resonates with the British public. If a film were to be made, there would be uproar. Not that it stops people anyway

Bibliography
There are at least four paperback books written on Fred and Rosemary West. None of these books are readily available outside of the U.K. The Crime Library recommends the Howard Sounes book as the best overall story of the complete case. Sounes was a reporter who broke the first major stories on the case.
Masters, Brian, She Must Have Known: The Trial of Rosemary West. London: Corgi Books, 1996.
Sounes, Howard, Fred & Rose. London: Warner Books, 1995.
Wansell, Geoffrey, The Life of Frederick West. London: Headline Book Publishing, 1996.
Wilson, Colin, The Corpse Garden: The Crime of Fred and Rose West. London: True Crime Library, 1998.
