Now this is a somewhat old movie, possibly made for TV. I saw it at some point in the 90's, although the movie itself may be older. As a child, I remember watching a scene on TV that showed a woman squeezing her finger, shooting out blood into a container and the camera pans to show multiple containers full of blood. The tone of the movie was darkly humorous I guess. Anyway, after filling up the last container she asks if this is enough blood, and her female companion seems unsatisfied with the results. Anyway, a guy comes in, they talk a bit, then the camera shows eyes slowly emerging from the blood. A huge hairy monster comes out of the blood, says something in a squeaky voice, then leaves. I know this is very vague (I don't even remember what the monster looks like) but any guesses would be appreciated. After all these years I'd like to know the context of that scene.

The mother accuses the girl of corrupting her sons and imprisons her in the basement where the mother instructs the boys to rape her. Eventually on of the boys helps her escape. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0802948/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_22 An American Crime with Ellen Page? The escape scene ends up being a dream.

Davros1 posted:This may have been part of an anthology TV series, or maybe it was a film. I'm not quite sure. Quoting myself, since I discovered what it was, and that it's kind of hosed up. It was called "Dear Joan: We're Going to Scare You to Death" starring Joan Crawford. Now when I caught a few minutes of it, it was airing at 1:00 A.M. According to my on-screen guide, what was playing was "Night Gallery". So I went online at the time to find out what it the episode was called, but saw nothing in the online Night Gallery sites that had an episode that matched what the episode was about. That's when I came here and posted the above question. I figured maybe the guide was wrong. Well, anyway, last night, at 1:00 A.M., I flip on the TV and there's something on that looks awful similar in style to the thing I had caught before. And the guide again insisted that it was Night Gallery. Well, this time I stayed to the end to get some clue that I could later use to look up. Low and behold, a young Scott Glenn's in this, playing a guy called Mark Hall. So I go to IMDB to with this information and look it up. It turns out that this wasn't Night Gallery, but an episode of a show called "The Sixth Sense." So was my guide wrong all this time? No, because apparently, for syndication purposes, they took the show The Sixth Sense, edited down into half hour episodes, and air it as part of Night Gallery.

I have two examples that are fairly recent (like "last few years" recent, I'm only remembering them from the trailers: The first one had a Liam Neeson-alike who lived out in the middle of nowhere and was training his daughter to become an assassin. Eventually he gets killed and it's up to the daughter to avenge him, I think the target was some sort of Angelina Jolie-alike. I think. The next one had some students that were vacationing in either Russia or somewhere in eastern Europe. Something happens and they're attacked by monsters that are sort of darkness personified, kind of like in Alan Wake, but less humanoid. They rely on light to either attack them or survive. They both only got so-so reviews at the time, but I think they might be cheesy fun. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, that's them, thanks! Man I thought I had searched IMDB for everything "dark" related, too. Also, apparently the Liam Neeson-alike is Eric Bana

I'm trying to remember the name of a movie. I think it's 80s or earlier. It's Chinese or Japanese, involving a father and son ascending to a forested mountain to live a quiet life (the time period is ambiguous during this portion). Later on the father has to journey down into the world to get food or something, where you're shown that the movie is actually set in contemporary times. He begs for food but leaves disappointed in the modern world. I think there's a festival later on? The movie is incredibly slow. I think the whole thing was a Buddhist parable or something.

Quite a bit newer (2003) and Korean, but is it Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring?

There is a comedy from I want to say mid to late 90s/early 00s where the main character runs into a kid who tries to blackmail him, threatening to go to the cops if he doesn't (buy him something or buy something from him). The kid demonstrates by changing his voice to higher pitched and saying things like "he touched my bottom!" At the end of the movie, the villain gets screwed when the kid tells the cops or authority figure on him. All I can remember is he says something like "there's the bad man mommy! He touched my bottom! He made me sit on his lap and play Santy Claus!" I want to say its an Adam sandler movie, but I can't find any evidence pointing in that direction. It just has that feel.

Trying to remember the name of a film I saw when on TV when I was a kid. It's a horror movie from the 60s or 70s (?) about a poltergeist (?) which at some point locks itself in a room and eats some kind of crystal (?) to the great consternation of the main characters (?) and there's also a scene in which something that looks like a totem pole rolls down an auditorium (?). Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about

It's a b-grade 80s scifi(?)/horror movie but the only part I recall is that people are sometimes attacked by having these weird things thrown at them that look like the tops of mushrooms. They are some sort of creature that chews into you, and I think when someone pulls one out of their arm it trails a long tentacle out of them. One is thrown at a guy standing near a pick-up truck and it hits the window. You can see it through the glass and has little chewing mouthparts.

I've only caught parts of this movie probably 20 years ago so this might be tough. It was a 80s or early 90s horror movie involving a genie (I think Wishmaster is too new). I think the genie/spirit came from a magic ring. A teenage girl gets the ring without realizing what it is and tells her dad "I wish you were dead" for some angsty reason. There is a scene where the dad & daughter are in a computer lab frantically looking up info on the genie while it is smashing through some metal security barriers one-by-one, getting ever closer. I seem to recall it having the form of some giant gray thing during this. I believe at some later point the dad is killed/possessed and has glowing eyes, much to the dismay of his daughter. I've found the movie The Outing / The Lamp, but I didn't recognize anything from the trailer (it could still be it). EDIT: Actually I just found a much better trailer by searching for "The Lamp" instead of "The Outing" (  ) and it must be this movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VEboYIJefoYou can see some metal security doors being closed and it smashing through them, which looks very familiar. Well that was easy

I'm trying to remember a movie that has the rather common plot of a dead wife trying to warn the new wife of her (their) husband's murderous side. I watched it with my then 5 or 6 year old daughter, so it must have been 'family friendly'. I want to say it was in black and white also.

This is more about identifying a poster, but I've got an image stuck in my head of an eyeball with a couple of slashes of light across one side of it. I think it might be from a movie poster, but I can't quite place it. My gut is telling me it's something Italian too, but that's just a hunch based on the picture in my mind. Any really obvious thoughts?

In case you're remembering wrong, those are movie with posters featuring mostly an eyeball: The Visitor (the 1979 italian movie) Saw 3D Skeleton Key Seed of Chucky Cursed ( with slashes on one side, but not light) Probably a long shot, but could it be the french movie poster for Fulci's City of the Living Dead: http://lepetitcinemadestephane.blogspot.ca/2011/06/frayeurs.html

I didn't watch all of the movie, since I was busy at the time; I just watched about 10 minutes and noted down the title to watch later, which I then lost. The scene that I remember most is three guys come out of a building to see a vehicle on fire; I think it was a car or truck. One of them says, “Aw man, they burned my ride” or something similar. I also remember the 3 'villains' called themselves the existentialists, dressed all in black and had really pale make-up on their faces. It was only a few months back when I saw it, but it was on TV so I don't know how long it's been out.
