So there was a recent-ish horror film where someone's facing towards the camera, or off to the side and behind them is another character in the distance listening but off in the distance and out of focus. The closer character isn't looking at them and is just talking for a good while, but the person in the background slowly starts morphing into the demon/entity/whatever-it-was or "changing" in a way that's so subtle you might 2nd guess yourself. However, they morph back before the camera focuses in or cuts to another angle. This shot was really well done and I'm not even sure that what I saw is what happened but I can't for the life of me remember anything other than this scene.

It part 1 had Ben looking up stuff about the town in the local library while the librarian looks towards him in the bg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9FDJz4_Kmg might not be this since none of the other people in the library interact with him

Or did the old woman not turn back? Edit: just watched it, nope. Just super tall, floppy-titty'd grandma demon chasing her.

However, they morph back before the camera focuses in or cuts to another angle. If not IT (either scene), I’m thinking it could either be It Follows or Smile, two similarish films that deal with a demonic entity disguised as everyday people that pursues cursed people who are the only ones that can see the entity slowly meandering toward them as a person in the distance. Probably Smile because everyone the entity is has a huge poo poo-eating grin.

I saw both and IF has an ambiguous last shot of someone following them in the bg but I can't think of anything that would fit that in Smile other than when she's listening to the sound on the laptop and there's a jumpscare or when she's sleeping in a bed and you see a figure in the bathroom. None of them really "transform" though (even within the limited parameters of "still look human")

I'm completely failing to think of anything specific but for some reason I feel like something like that might have happened in the recent Candyman movie?

Definitely wasn't Tales from the Hood, it might be a James Wan film, it was more of that style. I don't think it was Candyman, because I saw that alone once and this film I saw twice, a 2nd time with a friend but I haven't talked to him yet to ask him about it. I pointed it out to him when it happened too but I don't think he'd remember. edit: I just asked him, he has no idea. sigher fucked around with this message at 11:19 on Jan 14, 2023 |

are they sure it was an obvious transformation? Everything else proposed was fairly subtle (even arguably not there) kinda hard to tell when bg is out of focus

That's why I ask, because I want to see it again, because something in my brain tells me it might not even be anything more than maybe the background character moving. But the way the shot is framed feels so intentional, the foreground character is really close to the camera but there's a lot of the camera pointing right at the other character. It's almost like it's purposefully framed for you to look at the background character, it's awkward. Maybe I was super high or something and saw something that wasn't there.

Is it one of the Insidious movies? That appearing behind someone is a motif.

A scene in a 90s/00s TV show where man and some teenagers are sat drinking lemonade from a pitcher. The man tells a story about a murder in which the people killed were poisoned by lemonade. The teens gasp and spit out their lemonade and the man laughs and points out that he's drinking from the same pitcher so he's hardly likely to have poisoned that. I'm pretty sure this was an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Charmed or some other supernatural teen drama show.

Almost certainly not but Bram Stoker's Dracula has fun with aggressive shadows that would retreat to kindly Gary Oldman

Doesn't really fit the teen part but Justified season 2 had a similar idea and it turned out the poison was in the glass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkAquXNRcnQ I have one that's been bugging me for a bit. I don't think it was a movie, I think it was a TV show. A kid is nervous about going on a date with a pretty, popular girl so his dad recommends he go on a "practice date" with a girl he's more comfortable with. Of course at the end the kid realizes he likes the girl who he's comfortable with from the "practice date" and the dad says something like "How do you think I met your mom?".

Thinking about a movie that may or may not exist… I watched The Siege (1998) with a friend while we were hungover and we started talking about movies where New York is locked down/cut off. We both thought there was another one similar to The Siege where it’s a military thing, possibly terrorist driven, but haven’t come up with it. We’ve ruled out Escape from NY, The First Purge, Cloverfield, I am Legend, and Red Dawn (not NY but military occupation). Is there another movie where the military cuts off/locks down/occupies New York or part of it?

Thanks all. Good suggestions but apart from 28 weeks later I don’t think they’re what I was thinking about. It’s British so I don’t think it was 28 weeks later but all I really recall of that movie is thinking it wasn’t as good as the first one. The more I search the more I’m starting to think that I saw the siege, forgot it and now I’m thinking about the same movie I just saw and getting confused.

Cross-posting from the Aliens thread now that I've completely hosed up my search history. A woman is pregnant and there is a scene where she is getting an ultrasound, or maybe a playback of a recording of an ultrasound where they see the sperm fertilizing the egg, but then shortly after a second, alien sperm goes into the egg as well. I think later she ends up giving birth and I'm not sure if it's alive or not, but it ends up being some sort of creature (I think it's dead because she says something like "I want to see it"). Saw it when I was a kid, so a horror movie from the 80s?

The V miniseries sequel or tv series has a cliffhanger where a teen girl is impregnated by her alien boyfriend and gives birth to a human infant with a long lizard tongue. There are probably a lot of movies with women impregnated by aliens. Ironically, Alien is about the only one I can think of where an alien impregnates a man.
