Never saw it but I heard about this movie where people are at an interview for a really awesome job, but there's no interview. It's all this big puzzle where they're stuck in this room and don't know what to do. I think there were a bunch of rules like they weren't allowed to talk or maybe just not ask questions and everyone started going crazy.

Badluck posted:I'm looking for the title of an obscure film that was either direct to DVD or made for TV (possibly sci-fi channel) involving a Army base in the desert that is being decommissioned and all of it's chemical/biological weapons removed. There's a forgotten room in the bottom of a bunker that contains mutated cells that absorb all forms of energy to reproduce endlessly. These cells were created by a former Soviet scientist who was trying to create the ultimate biological weapon. One of the scientist's descendants (grandson maybe) helps the Army guys discover this room, letting loose the surviving cells and they eventually expand to cover the entire base. The cells are hostile to everything but the scientist's descendant which is used as a plot device to fight back using his blood. If anyone cares I finally found the movie title: Living Hell/Organizm. It premiered on the Sci-Fi Channel in 2008 and seems to have completely vanished since then. Here's the Wikipedia entry for it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Hell_%28film%29

I saw a film on VHS around the late 1990s; thinking back on it at first I thought it was SLC Punk, but looking at the IMDB summary that doesn't seem right. I tried googling what I recall of it, to no avail. - It was overall about some suburban teens and their general attempts at rejecting their conformist life, escapism, etc. - The girlfriend of the protagonist was trying to be a slam poet, and I recall her chanting "I can dance a jig/ you fascist pig" while dancing around - At one point the girlfriend is hollering at her boyfriend in front of the other main cast, about how pathetic their suburban life is, with some line is "I'm sick of loving in your garage while your parents are out at the Sizzler" - One of the characters midway through was a slightly older friend who'd been in the military, who ranted about immigrants and "I've been over there, I've seen how lovely they live" and he ends up confronting/attacking the Pakistani gas station clerk who yells at them for hanging out by his store. Any ideas?

This film I saw in the 90s or early 2000s, (it may have been a 70s or 80s flick though) had a scene where some guy broke another guy's finger and killed him. The guy who broke the other guys finger was a central character and a bit of a psycho, I think. I have really vague memories, but I think someone was onto the fact he didn't just mean to hurt the guy's hand, he meant to kill him. It may have been in an airport. I thought the film starred Mickey Rourke but I went through him on imdb and found nothing. The character's name might have been a Mickey. The letter M figures in my memory, the film could have been set in Miami. Please help this is driving me mad. Edit: Pretty sure I just found it after searching for years for movies with actors or stars named Mickey... It was "Miami Blues". Mudfly fucked around with this message at 10:18 on Dec 1, 2014 |

Horror movie IDs please: 1) early to mid 80s (possibly late 70s). Crazed killer escapes from asylum. The scene I remember has a cute nameless girl step out of a camping trailer, and the killer smacks her in the back of the head with a hammer. She whimpers for a moment with the hammer stuck in her head and then collapses. The killer wasn't any of the "big" multi-sequel killers from the 80s. He was just a tall gnarly looking fella. Any guesses? 2) Late 80s to early 90s. In the first scene, there is a pair of young twin brothers (10 or so) at a drive in movie. One of the twins murders a couple in another car, then blames his brother for the crime. The innocent brother is institutionalized and then decades later the evil twin is able to commit more crimes and get away with it because nobody suspects him.

I'm trying to remember the name of psychological horror/thriller I saw a few years back and was wondering if you fine folks could help me. It was a Russian film, or possibly Ukrainian, about a group of Russian soldiers being sent into Chechnya near the border to dismantle landmines after the Chechen War in the mid-90's. The soldiers happen across a bombed-out factory in their patrols and find an odd man (who may or may not be the devil) in a walled-off room. There was also a young woman involved, whose home the soldiers eventually set up their base in. Slowly everything goes to poo poo, with the soldiers dying off one-by-one and other assorted weird things happening, and no one is sure if the odd man from the factory is the source of it. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Horns fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Dec 5, 2014 |

Okay this was a movie that came out last year, it was a supernatural/romcom starring comedic actors. I only watched the trailer so sorry if this isn't terribly specific but it was about a couple trying to save their marriage so they go to a therapist who suggests they go to a house for a weekend. They get there and some weird alternate reality stuff happens. That's all I really know, I think it was a independent film

I saw just the one scene before changing the channel, but I seem to remember the film having a late-80s/early-90s look to it. The scene takes place on a college or high school campus, and a male student is being chased by another, the other one carrying a gun. They get to the front of some building and the the one being chased is shot. A female student screams as she is sprayed by what we think is blood, but it turns out that it's just a paintball gun and the guys were just screwing around. The woman is pissed off about getting red paint on her shirt.

I have been trying for years to remember this movie. It is three long scenes each shot in a single continuous take, chronicling the three times two people who met online meet in real life. Plot spoilers: they are meeting to commit murder/suicide together and fall in love but kill themselves anyway

This is probably going to be a challenging one since it was clearly a made-for-TV movie that I only caught the end of. From what I could gather, the premise of the movie involved an elite American soldier or special agent trying to foil a terrorist plot in New York or something. The big reveal is that the people behind the plot were actually people in the national security establishment, trying to whip up fear in order to mobilize the country against "actual" terrorists in the Middle East. The big fight at the end of the movie is between the hero, who I think was slightly older than most action heroes but had a bulky build, and the woman behind the plot. They fight in a ridiculous attempt at stylization with all kinds of gun-kata stuff and I believe some bullet dodging. I think the fight was under a big bridge or highway in New York, because there were a lot of concrete pillars and stuff around. The villain lady also gives a speech about how the country needs to unite against the common enemy or something, and mentions how great things were right after 9/11. And then after the hero kills the bad lady, his mentor tries to coax him into returning to his job as a special agent (I guess maybe he was retired?) but he decides not to. It was all very cheesy and bad and hilarious, and it seemed to have been made in the last few years based on the visual effects and subject matter. Really hoping someone knows B movies well and can help me out here

I have one I've been wondering about for a while- saw it in probably 97-98 and while I think it was some Sy-Fy-esque movie of the week thing, it may have been a Twilight Zone/Ray Bradbury Theater spot. I think the main idea was similar to Imposter in that I'm pretty sure it was a man who discovers he's not really human. Either way it's a human looking robot. The only part I distinctly remember was at the end: it's him and a professor/doctor and there's a bomb about to go off. The other guy is like "for the love of god disarm it!" (or something like that) and roboman replies "but professor, I'm an athiest!" and lets it go off. I can't for the life of me remember anything else but that poorly recalled scene.

A few years ago me dad told me about a movie he watched when he was stationed in Iraq back in '02. He said it was the stupidest movie he's ever seen, and he thought it was Australian. He said there was a scene where guys drove a car up or down stairs, and there may have been a fishbowl involved. If anyone could figure out what movie he saw based on my memories of the little he remembered, that would blow my mind.
