I saw this really good korean (i think) movie on tv a while back thats about a woman that dies and her son's assumed to die but hes not dead and comes back 20 years later to the apartment building where she died and the apartment where she died is haunted by her ghost and the guy kills some womans abusive ex boyfriend and moves in with her and things kinda spiral downward from there. There was also a writer neighbour of some sort and everything he wrote came true. Slow moving movie that was more about atmosphere than jump scares. If anyone can identify it that'd be cool.

Dude I know was trying to remember a scene from something where a guy is trying to find a lid for a food bowl. Looks around, can't find one, grabs some plastic wrap to use that instead, and it's the end of the roll and the piece of plastic he ends up with is smaller than the top of the bowl. I'm gonna presume this was a comedy, but who knows.

A crappy b movie about a woman who works as some kind of mob enforcer/assassin. From probably the mid 90s. It was extra stupid because she learns who her targets are by playing an arcade game where a sprite of the actress walks from left to right shooting people. However she plays it in such a way that it instead shows the face/information of her next target. The opening credits were also a really amateurish animation of the actress walking around shooting folks.Skunkrocker posted:No on all three counts but Wedlock looks absolutely ridiculous. It's my second favorite movie starring both Rutger Hauer and Joan Chen (the first and only other one being The Blood of Heroes/Salute of the Jugger which legit owns, it also has Hugh-Keyes Barnes, Vincent D'Onofrio and Delroy Lindo).

Hopefully this will be an easy one.... I remember watching a movie that had Weird Al in it as a kid, and in one scene, a girl shows her tongue (or maybe folds down her botom lip) and has a tattoo that just says WEIRD AL. Someone asks her why she got it and she says something to the effect of "So every time I eat, I do it with Al!" I thought it was UHF, which I probably last saw 15 years ago, but a rewatch has proven that that's not the case. Can anyone help me out? Maybe I just had a weird dream about Weird Al.

Hi folks, help! Need the name of an indie movie from the 90s where three young-ish guys get together back in their old hometown. One is a musician or something and he confides in but doesn't hook up with a young girl that's accompanying them. He -- I only read a review, years ago -- turns her down and advises her to set her sights higher than bumblefuck USA. Read the review in the Washington City Paper many years ago.

An alien invasion movie where an alien proxy-talks through a dead human behind bullet-proof glass with government negotiators, telling they want humans to die. Any idea where I could see that? It's not a new movie, maybe 10 years old or more.

A western, I think. One or more characters are kept awake in (I think) a holding cell, by the incessant sound of the gallows trapdoor going all night. I saw this as a kid, and remember asking my dad what the sound was. He explained how a gallows works, but it didn't make sense since the trapdoor sound was way too loud in the movie. Like a big, thundering thud whenever they pulled the lever off screen. I mean I've never been around a real gallows, but it was clear that it was made louder for effect. They never show the effect; maybe they're hanging people in the night or maybe they're just testing it. It's just the sound. I'd imagine there were many movies that used this, but this one may have had Clint Eastwood? Maybe? Capn Jobe fucked around with this message at 08:21 on Aug 10, 2015 |

Ok it's like 1982 - 84 on Nickelodeon and there's a spooky house with a red dot. The dot represented a girl ghost who maybe died in a fire? And then a kid is looking at a roadkill crow, saying that death is the natural outcome of life. Some hands come out of a wall and just miss grabbing a different kid. It might have been three a different shows? Good God Nickelodeon was terrifying in its early days.

That sounds a lot like "Red Room Riddle", a 1983 ABC Weekend Special movie. I know this because it was the answer to one of my longstanding requests in this thread.

That might be it, but I remember a creepy ghost girl talking about how she was dead, and something that looked like a cheesy red dot over an old mansion. (I could be misremembering, it was a long time ago.) e: Maybe it was Child of Glass from 1977? moths fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Aug 12, 2015 |

This can be a TV-series but probably a movie. There is a dinner with the extended family. A failson is told how succesful his cousins are. One cousin plays college football and the other has some other achievment. Then the failson talks them down because it is only division II football and the other achievment is not so great. The failson is then berated by his parents why he allways has to ruin things. I can remember the scene clearly, but I can not remember from where.

From a kids movie, I'm fairly sure it was computer animated so last fifteen years probably. The main character is being introduced to all the other characters, and one is a little kid that jumps up and yells "wanna wrassle??" really loud and it killed me but I can't remember the movie.

Ok there was a movie that I saw the ending of on Youtube. And basically the ending was a guy shooting a rocket launcher or some kind of explosive at a house, and mid-explosion, I believe it goes to text on the screen or credits. But the ending is definitely abrupt. The movie looked like it was from the late 80s.

When I was a kid, something like 1997-2002, I caught a crazy indie film on IFC before IFC was popular-ish, when it still didn't have commercials during movies. I'm not sure if the movie is a horror or scifi movie, not sure which category it fits into. It's fairly gruesome, so prolly both. The movie was about a scientist, I think a white dude with blonde-ish hair, who moves his family out to the country so he can do weird animatronic-type expriments with animals. He wore a white doctor's-style lab coat for parts of the film. He's married and has a child, I *think* the child is a daughter. They get a dog while living in the country, and he eventually tries to put the front half of the dog together with the back half of a small calf into some kinda hybrid creature. I feel like the creature had mechanical parts as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that one. The daughter and the wife notice the dog is missing, but it takes them a while to discover his terrible experiment. When they do discover it, the creature isn't doing so hot and is just kinda dragging it's back legs and whimpering, which thoroughly horrifies the wife and daughter, of course. There's also a couple scenes that have to do with a fruit stand, maybe they get their dog or the calf at the fruit stand, I'm also not sure about that, but they were definitely kickin' it at a fruit stand. Any help anyone can give me would be rad! Thanks tons and bunches in advance!

Holy poo poo, that's it, I think. I remember it being much better quality, but I was a kid, so whatever, who knows... Thanks a billion for finding that, I've searched everywhere, man. I'm definitely annoyed that you managed to find it like *BOOM* and I've searched for it multiple times, many different ways, and have had no luck. 'Sup with that, internet!?

So I'm looking for a specific adaption of Through the Looking Glass (though it may have been one of those adaptions that combined it with Alice in Wonderland for all I know) that depicts the Jabberwocky not as a dragon or dragon-like creature like most adaptions, but as a freaky flying worm-thing. I distinctly remember it having shots from the POV of the Jabberwocky as it flew around that were done in such a way to come off as being almost as freaky as the appearance of the thing itself.

Discospawn posted:Is it the movie Jabberwocky (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076221/?ref_=ttmi_tt)? No, this was a full live-action adaption of Through the Looking Glass with the Jabberwocky poem included in it original context as a story within the story. That is, as Humpty Dumpty explains the poem and its nonsensical terms to Alice (like how the word "slithy" is a combination of "lithe" and "slimy", for instance), the audience is shown scenes of the boy from the poem searching for the Jabberwocky in a dark and creepy forest while the Jabberwocky in turn barrels its way through the forest looking for prey. From the way I remember it, the Jabberwocky looked rather similar to the dream demons from Nightmare on Elm Street 6.  Edit: Okay, after watching it on YouTube, I suppose it must have been this one 1998 adaption and I just seriously embellished the hell out of the whole thing in my memories of it. How disappointing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGM7aiQkAAI Doctor Bishop fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Aug 17, 2015 |

Heh, for a long time I was searching for a film that traumatized me from the preview when I was a kid but I could never find it. I figured it shouldn't be too hard to track down a horror movie where a group of heavily armed protagonists battle a giant red-haired monster in a subway that had enormously long arms and a dozen eyeballs (including on its tongue). When I finally saw Big Trouble in Little China I was a little disappointed, honestly.

I've got some looming images in my head that may have actually been tv movies or shows. The first is a horror clip from the 90's, I think. I recall only the last 5-10 minutes of it. There's this good guy and an occult type guy. Both guys get in a fight. The good guy loses and the cultist guy drags him standing up to a cupboard. He opens the cupboard to reveal a long, fleshy tunnel. At the distant end of the tunnel is a toothy worm coming straight for him. At the last moment, the good guy switches places with the cultist. The worm chomps the cultist's head and tears it off, retreating into the tunnel with it. The cultist falls limp and the guy escapes. As he's escaping, the camera pans back to a window, where we see the cultist again, alive and intact, watching the protagonist escape. The second is also horror from the last 90's. Again I only recall the last 5-10 minutes. This guy and a girl are trying to escape from a house or something. They discover an octopus-like horror that makes up the structure of the house and it's morphing the house, trying to get them to fall into its maw. I don't actually remember how it ends but I want to say they escape at least. This creature may have been rendered in primitive 90's cgi.
