"I never met a monster I didn't like"

Reason posted:

Looking for a recent film. Horror film made probably after 2010, plot goes something like, writer or investigator person stays in a home or hotel in a small town that is New Englandy and the town disappears and there are monsters trying to kill him. The monsters were very lovecraftian.

Could be your slightly misremembering "Final Prayer" or "the borderlands" ?

Thanks those are both fun movies that I've seen, but it wasn't found footage. Starting to think this movie is a figment of the imagination.

It's two people meeting for the first time and one asks the others name, they respond and the other retorts something along the lines of "do you have a surname or are you like Madonna?"

Dear god, I'm kind of glad I completely missed out on this show; Terminators are laughably bad at completing assassination missions, and I can't see that going for multiple seasons like it did.

I gave the show a pass for the longest time, and only watched it a few months ago. You have to accept the limitations of a TV budget when it comes to editing, special effects, etc., but it's definitely better than anything in the franchise after T2. Lena Headey is fantastic as Sarah Connor.

"Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries."





It's an 80s teen horror movie. All I know is there are kids driving through the city, they pass a red light or something and swerve the car around, and all that swerving opens a dimensional rift (?maybe). Anyway they go to a bar afterwards, and it's full of vampires.

I think you're right. IMDB says something about the club being called "After Dark", that sounds familiar. Maybe I remembered it because of Grace Jones.

You really missed out. T:SCC made some incredibly ballsy moves and took the franchise to places a movie could never go, like showing you what it's like when a Terminator is in long term infiltration mode from its perspective.

(It also had a Terminator singing "Donald, Where's Yer Trousers?", which is something I never thought I'd be typing in seriousness.)

I'm looking for a clip of a guy, with glasses, sitting on a toilet. Suddenly, he starts leaking blood and eventually shits out a knife. Then, while his groin is still bleeding, he lifts up his shirt to show something in his stomach squirming, and he starts pulling an object that looks like an intestine out of his mouth. It looks like a super-cheap 80s or 90s horror movie, because the clip I've seen looks like a VHS rip.

Dear fellow goons, please help me so I can finally get my girlfriend to stop haranguing me about finding this movie she saw the trailer for a while back. I don't know how many more times I can type variations of "couple moves into haunted house and mother-in-law locks daughter-in-law in the basement" at her behest. I've checked an rear end-ton of sites that list upcoming movies, especially those focusing on horror, but I can't find this one bloody movie and every time we go to watch TV she asks me about it again.

All I know is the following, which I am half-remembering from the trailer she found months ago: A recently-married couple move into a new home and the husband's mother-in-law comes to visit. Weird stuff happens to the wife and she keeps trying to tell the husband but he's all :smug: "huehuehue you're just imagining it you silly woman huehuehue" :smug:. Beyond that, the only other thing I can remember is the mother-in-law shoving the daughter-in-law down the basement steps and locking her down there in the dark with whatever the hell is in the house.

I would be terribly grateful to anyone who can identify this movie so I can finally tell my girlfriend "it's called ____."

Here's a movie that I've never seen but remember its trailer leaving an impression:

- It's a 90s movie (MAYBE it could have been a 1989 movie but it seemed very solidly early/mid 90s - I saw the trailer mid/late 90s on a rented video)
- It had a red band (the first one I'd seen, a big reason why the trailer left an impression)
- It's a horror movie or at least an intense thriller of some kind
- The trailer consisted mostly of a quiet scene of a woman in a bathtub shot from above - no music (or very quiet, subtle music if any) for the most part
- The scene is intercut with occasional flashes of scary shots (unfortunately they were so fast and it's been so long ago I don't remember what the shots were of)
- It could possibly be a sequel (text fades in and out mentioning that "You Survived", the implication being that the horror isn't over yet)

I've periodically tried to figure this one out whenever I get reminded of it, but my Google skills are weak apparently. I don't recall any material to account for the red band (maybe you could've caught a glimpse of the woman's naughty bits but I'm pretty sure I would have noticed if so).

Many thanks in advance!

A pint of plain is your only man
Here's one that's always bugged me: A slightly crappy-looking sci-fi movie, maybe post-apocalyptic, with the leads dressed in some kind of black rubber soldier uniform. A Dolph Lundgren-looking dude and woman with blonde hair. The last scene is them leaving a big tower or fortress and walking off into the desert, and someone decides not to shoot them with a sniper rifle. Maybe they decide not to shoot each other? I saw this on British telly in the mid-nineties, just in time for the ending. It had kind of a Fortress or Blood of Heroes feel to it.

I recommend it. It's trying super super hard to channel Brian de Palma channeling Alfred Hitchcock but in sort of great ways that I thought were clever and charming and just a lot of fun.

Yeah, I'm gonna check it out myself. You seemed to have found it pretty quick, how'd you manage it? I usually tried going the route of googling for redband trailers from the 90s or "horror trailer with woman in bathtub" (which usually brings up Slither or Nightmare on Elm Street).

Sounds like a good time. It seems to have been a very well-received movie (and I'm a sucker for adult thrillers) and even apparently features Alec Guinness in a bit part, I'm surprised I have never heard of this movie aside from seeing its trailer from way back when.

I'm not going to quote multiple people here so I'll just say broadly regarding Mute Witness that from what I remember it was pretty good and certainly better than just the premise of a horror film where the girl can't scream and one of the only films I can remember where snuff films being real doesn't make a terrible film.

Anyway since this is the identification thread here's one - a British gangster film from the 80s or maybe 70s where someone is threatened by being dangled by the feet off a tall building or parking lot or something and he just flippantly responds something like "I love all this".

I think it's a comedy. The scene is definitely funny. The movies cuts to scene of a woman, slightly overweight, eyes wide with fear, clutching a microphone in both hands, singing karaoke completely expressionless and monotone. We move away from her to a conversation with the main characters, but she remains in the background, still slightly audible. It makes me laugh every time I see it.

What movie is this?

A comedy where someone in a cell is talking to the hero as they're walking away, in typical good guy talks to incarcerated bad guy fashion. Ends up walking out of cell easily while talking. Realises and makes his way back in to cell, like "whoops, I'll just go back in here".
Maybe early 2000s?
