This was a one off drama on British TV about five years ago (I think). The protagonist seems to be going slowly mad, he can’t leave his house, kills and eats his neighbour’s dog and try’s to kill a visiting electrician. The really wired thing is that his attic keeps expanding and he gets all done up in mountaineering gear and goes exploring it. This is really annoying me so any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Can't remember much of the plot, but I do remember one scene: A girl is alone in what appears to be a classroom, painting. Suddenly down the hall a hooded figure appears (she can see the figure from the windows in the classroom). The figure moves closer and she hides beneath the window in the classroom while he glared through it. The he disappears. This poo poo gave me nightmares for years. I was probably 5 or 6 years old when I saw it. Any help appreciated.

I remember this movie i saw it a couple times i think about 17 years ago on television. I remember there are several dinosaurs or monsters and there was some sort of gladiatorial combat. In addition there were "cavemen people" but they are in several caves and jungle climates i remember one scene where they leave the cave and come across some sort of jungle climate, there was also a scene with a lava pit and at the end the cave and everything starts to collapse and the people need to escape. I also remember there were several scenes with the dinosaurs or monsters fighting with people and the characters were forced to fight them, again in what seemed like gladiatorial combat. I've tried searching through old '70s era movies that i think the movie probably came out then, though perhaps it's early 80s.

Ok I know almost nothing about this movie, I saw it when I was really little and I remember being freaked out. There's a family and they live in this futuristic enviroment. I remember their home was all red and padded looking. The father maybe sort of looked like Gomez Addams. They also had some machine that melts your head. I have been wondering about this movie for like 15 years. Please help.

I remember some kind of horror movie, possible horror comedy, that's at least 10 years old. It was a "Creepy new neighbors move in next door" story. All I can remember specifically is that near the end, they discover a whole bunch of human bones in the trunk of one of the creepy neighbors. It may have been geared towards kids, I don't know. I believe there was also something off about the stairs at the creepy neighbors' place. Possible some creature or deformed person living in/under them? Thanks in advance.

I have very little hope for this, but if anywhere can give me the answer it's here. OK. It may not even be a film. All I can remember is, one character asks a fairly normal question about another character, and the person s/he's talking to responds "Because he's MAAAADD!!!" in the most dramatic and over the top fashion possible. I'm pretty sure it's meant to be serious, and it is definitely mad in the sense of 'insane', not US 'angry'. If anyone can tell me where the gently caress this is from you will have my eternal gratitude.

I was at a friend's house once and I walked in halfway through this Asian film where the main character was some sort of messenger/wbad rear end for the organized crime syndicate, in the ending the viewer finds out (maybe already knew, like I said, I didn't see the beginning) that he was actually like a waiter or bell hop of some kind just kind of dreaming about working for/bringing down the mafia. I absolutely cannot remember the name but it was one of the most awesome action movies I've ever seen. Any ideas?

There was a comedy on Comedy Central (I believe) where Tim Curry plays a supervillain who has his base on an island. At one point he's walking around and some guy is trying to persuade him and says he's a reasonable man, to which TC replies "I am not a reasonable man!" one of his henchman also says something like "thank you sir for not killing my family!"

I've been wondering about something recently. When I was younger, my family and I started to watch a movie and the first scene was actually a sex scene. From what I remember, it starts off with only "sexy sounds" and then after a bit, you see a reflection in the mirror of the couple having sex. Since my dad only picked movies according to the front of a box (can't even read the back!), all I kind of remember is that it had to do with flowers or something. This is super vague, I know, but it's been bugging me and I'd love to narrow it down and finally watch that freakin' movie. And no, it wasn't a porno or anything.

Here's one that has been bugging me for a while. Seen this back in the 70's, on TV- but don't remember if it was a movie or a show (probably show), genre is horror. I only recall parts, mostly the end of the movie. It was about a couple that bought a house, I think. There were little people or creatures in the house that start to terrorize the wife. You only hear/see hints of the little people- whispers, things moving etc. Nobody else sees these little people and dismiss any proof of them, so everybody starts to think the wife is cracking up. Towards the end, I think the husband(?) talks the wife into taking something to calm her nerves. But you see the little people dump extra drugs into her glass of water. Everybody leaves the house, leaving the wife alone. The wife is trying to fight off the sleep when the little people come for her. They start dragging her towards the fireplace. In her drugged state, she can't fight back-- but she grabs a camera, using the flash to try and scare them away. I think maybe they didn't like the light? In the end, the little people win, dragging the wife down into the ash bin beneath the fireplace to her death. The husband returns to find the wife gone. But I think it ends with him getting some proof of what happened from the camera. I also recall something about the little people thinking the wife is their 'queen' or something? Thanks in advance for any help!

Saw this movie posted on the forums about a police man who dies and his partner uses some of experimental zombie serum on him and they fight the guys who killed him and zombies or something. I believe it came out in the eighties or early nineties.

Crosspost from the GBS thread: Another 80s horror film. I can remember two scenes: 1) A family is in a house; all of a sudden there's a rabbit (not sure if it's a pet or what) and it gets really big and really hideous before reverting back to its original form 2) (The same?) family is walking through said house; they go by a room where a girl is watching TV; she's in a chair and her back is to the door. . . so the family can't see her head, which resembles Trumpy from 'The Pod People' (MST3k, season 3). Oh man, if ANYONE gets this one I'll be shocked.

There was this (made for TV?) horror movie I saw back in '94 or '95. I think the title had "mulberry" in the title, or mulberries were otherwise thematically relevant. I remember I googled/imdb'd it a couple of years ago and I found it easily enough, but the title eventually faded from memory. I tried searching for it again this morning, but I couldn't find it using (presumably) the same keywords. It focuses on your typical well-to-do family: mother, father, daughter. They hire a babysitter who turns out to be in league with the devil or something, I forget the exact details. I remember at some point she's showing the daughter this old looking storybook and it there's this drawing of Satan that creeped the hell out of me when I saw it as a kid. Later on, she seduces the father. Towards the end, the house catches fire and there's this image of the storybook opened up to the page with the drawing of Satan burning up. And that's all I can remember. Any help would be appreciated.

Once again I remember almost the entire plot and cannot remember the name. I could have sworn the box we rented was titled Immortal, however IMDB does not have it listed under this name. I think it was a direct-to-DVD B or C level Sci-Fi piece. Saw it sometime between 2004 and 2006. Okay so the plot. There is this big floating pyramid in, I think, New York of the future. It's not really important where it happens other than it's a city in any event. Also they chose to make like almost all the extras and several of the speaking characters 3d modeled pieces of rear end. Anyway in the pyramid one of the gods, can't remember which Ra possibly, has done something or other to break the rules and piss people off so he is scheduled to be executed, although at the end it appeared more like they put him in stasis. From now until the time of his execution he gets to go out into the world. So he goes out and somehow this guy, in cryo-prison, gets broken out of his cell and his leg gets sheared off. This is our male lead. The god makes a new leg out of some metal that was laying around and possesses the poor douche. Now the female lead, who has blue hair and cries blue tears BLUE, arrives in the city from somewhere. It turns out she's special and she can give birth to the offspring of the god. So somehow our two leads meet, I can't remember this part very well, and it basically culminates in the douche raping the blue lady. He apologizes and she doesn't run away. He rapes her a couple other times and maybe they have consensual sex once at most. However this sub-plot about some corporation trying to do something or other gets in the way. The brilliant plan of the corporation is to unleash a bright red, bipedal, hammerhead shark guy to, I believe, murder our leads or possibly capture the blue girl. Now in a movie where over half your cast is loving rendered you'd expect the big bad monster have some attempt at badass made right? In fact he is a man in a foam rubber suit. It would appear a fat man. In any event this plan fails spectacularly. The second iteration of this is to release a bright red, liquid, hammerhead shark being into the pipes to get them by surprise. So our female lead is taking a bath. She's been crying to the water is all blue. In a scene stolen from the Abyss her rapist/lover sticks his hand in the water and it is stained blue. Somehow the new hammerhead shark plan fails as well. The corporate guys die somehow, the god goes off to be killed/stuck in stasis, and our two leads forget each other or something contrived. She has the baby and chills in Paris until one day this man with a blue arm wanders on up to her. Roll end credits. One of my friends refuses to believe this movie exists and apparently IMDB is currently on his side. A little help would be appreciated.

Ok, I saw this movie a while back on the Sci-Fi Channel. It was something along the lines of journey to the center of the earth but not even close in plot. It starts out with this old scientist looking for peices of the "Book" i think. The piece was "vomited up by Montezuma" and was uber powerful or something like that. The assistant gives the guy (I think its his uncle) a ring, just before the scientist shoots down into an exploding volcano. Several years later the assistnat rebuilds the earth ship and makes his own trip. His team make it down and run into these fanged manta ray like things. They also find an underground city filled with yeti people. They save one and he joins the team. There was also a bad guy who had the rest of the "Book" and could control the ray creatures and the walls of the underground cavern. The group tries to leave but the villain unhooks from his life support chair and tries to get the last part of the book. He fails and falls into the lava, and its revealed that the villain's hand is wearing the ring from earlier, implying hes the uncle. Thats all I remember. I think they escape, or go live with the yetis or something. It was a little hokey but I liked it but I can't remember the name. Any help would be appreciated.

Binary Logic posted:I'm surprised it didn't come up during your imdb.com search. Immortel (ad vitam) is the movie. Son of a bitch. I have no idea how I missed that. I probably dismissed it out of hand because I thought it was an American movie instead of a foreign one since all the dialog appears to be originally in English. Apparently it's French? Bizarre. Totally sorry about wasting everyone's time and thanks for the effort.

I've been thinking of this movie I saw on TV a couple of times years ago, and I liked it for some strange reason even though it wasn't very good. It had a certain vibe to it, though, that I liked - maybe just the fact that it was on really early in the morning both times I saw it. It would have been made at the end of the '80s or early '90s, maybe just a straight to video movie or something. I remember the plot well enough that anyone who knows it should be able to tell me the name. A guy falls in love with this girl, whom he marries, but she starts cheating on him. He finds out and she entices him to hit her, which he does, once. This turns out to be part of her plan to fake abuse and turn his friends against him, and have him committed to an asylum while she steals all his money. It ends with him exploiting a catch-22, by strangling her when she comes to visit him, ostensibly getting away with murder since he is already considered insane. Also I believe it featured a couple of dream sequences at an empty amusement park at night with a lit ferris wheel. I've tried Googling a few phrases but I'm not getting anything really. Thanks a lot if anyone can let me know.

I saw this movie about six months ago, maybe a year max. Didn't pay too much attention to it, but now I can't get it out of my head and I don't know why. It was -mainstream hollywood movie -cheesy teen horror, almost definitely pg-13 There was a bad vampire/supernatural guy and the good guy and his girlfriend. Somehow the good guy goes to his father's secret scary house and finds out he is also supernatural and then they fight in a barn with lots of "punch me and I fly back 50 feet" moves. I think the setting was in a school, maybe all-girls school and I think the bad guy would play tricks on the girlfriend and then disappear or something. Wow, I can't remember much else about it. Help, please, shouldn't be really difficult, it was mainstream USA.
