My guiding Moonlight...



Looking for a horror film that was recent and I think I caught on Shudder or Amazon Prime, but it was a couple being terrorized at night in a remote house in the UK country-side. I think eventually they're killed about half-way through the movie, however the film jumps back in time and it turns out that the initial couple that's being tormented are lovely thieves and the people they robbed that evening are just coming after them to get revenge.

I saw this in 2007 or 2008 so it can't be newer than that. It was on TV, maybe HBO or something like that- I honestly have no clue as to the network. All of this happens in the span of about ten minutes:

The movie I'm trying to identify is set in Austria-Hungary around the end of WW1. In one scene in front of a procession of returning troops, an Austrian army officer greets another government dignitary with "good news!" or something to that effect. The other guy asks, "did we win?" and the first guy says "no, we lost!" but he's very jubilant about it (he's glad they don't have to fight anymore, I figure).

In the next scene there's an old Josef Fritzl-looking guy who is arguing with his dumpy wife in their bedroom, and they are dressed in what I assume are upper-class clothes for the time, and seemingly out of nowhere the guy literally just rapes her. They are fully clothed the entire time, and it takes all but a few seconds before he's done with her. Then she just gives him this disgusted and horrified look. I changed channels after this but I keep thinking wtf was this movie?

Any leads on this one??

Going through wikipedia's List of World War I films, sounds like it could be Forest of the Hanged (1964), Pukovnikovica (1972), or Mercenaries' Trap (1982), though i'm not familiar with any of them so i couldn't tell you for certain.

Anyone remember this horror film from uh....not too long ago. maybe 3-4 years. Two kids, a girl and a boy, go visit their grandparents who are crazy or something. Only scenes I really remember are the grandpa pulls down his pants, takes off his diaper and smears it into the boys face. I think they maybe try to shove the girl into an oven too. Also a chase under some part of the house where the grandma runs like a spider.

thanks

I'm desperate to find a movie from the 80s, maybe early 90s set in a highschool.

There was a Joey Ramone looking character who had nunchucks and there was something about the cafeteria serving horse meat.

Watched it on VHS about 15 years ago.

Edit: As far as I can remember, it's NOT Rock and Roll High School.

This is going to be extremely vague and might be two movies smushed together. And also I didn't see this movie, I saw a review of it. So I'm probably missing important parts or getting parts wrong.

It's a horror move from the 90s or 2000s. The setup is that the characters are going to a place to do like a reality show but spooky? I think the characters wear webcams and it's all being streamed live on the 'net.

Also, and I'm very not confident on this part, I think they all have to get in coffin shaped boxes at one point for some reason.

Perhaps this is a matter of confusion between Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979) and Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever (1991)?

The latter has a martial artist bass player.

There’s this movie that I think was on TV a bunch in the 90s. It starts with a black kid drowning at a public pool or lake? Takes place in the Jim Crow south and progresses into a legal drama focused on corruption and racism.

What's the movie where the husband poisons his wife by putting something in her shampoo? In one scene I believe the police come to his house and as they're outside he deletes a whole bunch of folders off his computer. Not newer than late 90s I don't think.

e: v it was indeed Lethal Vows

I think I saw this movie in the 90s or something. I think it was set in a fantasy world. Main character is (I think) royalty, and is being given a bunch of wishes (like on his birthday maybe?) by some member of a fantasy race who I think might also be like a royal adviser or something. EDIT: Main character is young, maybe a teenager. Is male.

It's a set amount of wishes, rather than unlimited. When he makes a wish, the wish granter says 'coo' and the thing instantly happens. Each wish he makes doesn't go how he planned, and he reverses it. Also, at one point he exclaims that he wishes he was dead, and finds himself chilling in the afterlife. I think one of the wishes is he wishes everyone loved him, and he turns into a baby.

When he gets to his last wish, which he botches, it turns out the last wish can't be reversed. I can kinda remember him making some journey, possibly in a flying pram as a result of the baby wish, while a whole bunch of members of the fantasy race constantly chant 'coo' over and over again to power the pram or however it is he's getting there. (This being after he failed to reverse his last wish, I think)

I’ve been reading this thread off and on for a while, and I just realized I actually have something you might be able to help with.

Many moons ago (probably the ‘70s, maybe the early ‘80s), I saw a television adaptation of Through the Looking Glass or Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. There was a scene with Alice trapped in an attic, and the other characters were outside throwing pebbles to her. Some pebbles made her larger, and some pebbles made her small. The pebbles were colorful and looked like awesome magical candies.

Edit: Television movie, to be clear. I think.

The version of Alice in Wonderland that pops up in this thread sometimes is the 1985 movie, mainly because they remember being scared shitless by the Jabberwocky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnRAjBVjiDw
The scene you're taking about is around 27mins, but this is something that happens in a bunch of adaptations.

I don’t think that’s the one. In the version I’m looking for, the rocks they threw at Alice were wonderfully colorful. Also, I am almost certain Sammy Davis Jr. did not show up to do any pre-Hamilton rapping in mine, and is that Telly Savalas dressed as a cat and crooning at Alice? What in the world?

I feel like the version I’m looking for would have been a little bit older, because I’m pretty old. On the other hand, the cast list on that one makes it seem like a major production that I am likely to have seen at some point. Maybe that’s it and I’ve just been misremembering it for thirty-five years. I really think the rocks they were throwing were more colorful, because that’s what’s been stuck in my brain all this time.

Yeah, it’s going to be in every adaptation, but that’s the scene I think of when I remember the movie. It was live-action. I feel like it didn’t look quite as polished as the one in the linked video. Maybe a little bit older, and maybe it had that sort of washed-out BBC look.

Looking for a movie from the 80's.

I watched it as a rental on VHS...never heard of it being in the theaters. No actors I ever heard of at the time nor heard of since.

4 young (20's) chicks go on a road trip in what I remember to be a red convertible. The only thing I can recall about the movie is that one of the chicks could fix cars, and at one point they were all changing clothes while driving down the road. (This isn't some creeper or porn request). I cannot remember what the goal of the road trip was about or anything else that happened along the way which sucks because I seem to recall renting this movie more than once as a teen.(The road trip aspect appealed to me). I do recall a close up of one of them wearing red bauble earrings. It was VERY 1980s and I think one of them was a redhead. I've been trying to figure this out for some time. Halp me SAF!

It's prob the 1972 version with Dudley Moore and Peter Sellers, then. Key scene is at 31:15.
