This was a trippy horror movie from only like... 5-8 years ago, I think it was on Netflix. It's kinda bad and low-budget but something drew me to it. It's about a cursed book (it looked like a kinda cheap necronomicon ripoff) that fucks you up when you read it. Dudes keep being drawn to read it, but I can't remember 100% if it was for Hellraiser-like masochism reasons, just sheer insanity, or if there was some promise of a reward if you could complete the book. I think it opens with a scene of someone stealing the book from a dude who brags about having made it to something like page 17 and acting like that was some insane feat. The main character of course tries to read it, and from there it has some serious bad acid trip elements. A monster is summoned that I think seemed like a clear metaphor for the main guy being a bad father or something along those lines, and there are repeated instances where he thinks some convoluted series of events has happened only to snap out of it and realize he's still just reading the book. I feel like it shouldn't be that hard to find but maybe Netflix kinda buried it or something, not sure if it was an original e: err... poo poo. I guess it must be Residue (2017). I think I may have passed over that name because it's also another movie and a separate TV show and it did not ring any bells at first.

Neither of these really fit but I’m just thinking about evil book movies, it’s almost a bit of a trope, like the ring movies and that drat video cassette. *Scary stories to tell in the dark *Name of the rose The king in yellow is coming out this year and is another “read this book[play] and go mad/die” stories but it can’t be that.

I think this was a psychological or horror movie from the 90s, and I'm certain I've seen someone link the clip on the forums before I've defintiely seen a youtube clip of it. The scene in question is where the creepy super pale 'villain?' Is at a social event with the main character and to prove how strange and/or mystical he is tells the main character to call his own house on the phone. When he does, the creepy guy is on the other end at the same time he is still standing next to him and they have a brief conversation while the in-person creep stands there and smiles. The 'creepy' guy's actor is definitely one that has popped up in some horror movies or show episodes (the X Files comes to mind), very soft spoken and just kind of has this unblinking stare which is perfect for those roles. Been trying to recall something else he has been in to backtrack a name from there, but failing so far.

It's been over two years since I posted this so I guess I'll give it another go: I saw this when I was a kid, it's an episode of Outer Limits or Tales From The Darkside or another sci-fi horror anthology. These people are keeping a monster as a pet the in garbage dumpster of a hotel, and they're feeding guests to it, throwing them down the dust chute. The monster looks terrible, like a flaccid uncircumcised penis with fangs. I think in the end it's "owners" get fed to it by the main character/s who might be guests of the hotel. I watched it in the mid 90s and it was on either before or after an episode of the Outer Limits where a scientist gets injected with nanomachines that evolve him into the perfect organism (eyes start growing on the back of his head, becomes invulnerable etc). I've found this episode (https://imdb.com/title/tt0667978/fullcredits/cast) but never came across the Monster in the Chute episode. I was certain it was Outer Limits but none of the episode recaps look familiar so I'm leaning towards it being another horror/sci-fi anthology franchise, maybe Ray Bradbury Theatre or Freddy's Nightmares or Tales From The Crypt. It isn't the Tales From The Darkside episode A New Lease On Life - when this was first suggested I thought it was correct but now I realise it definitely isn't - nor is it the '80s horror film Brain Damage. This would have aired on Sky One in the UK in the mid 1990s.

There is one episode about a hotel with a monster in the basement that eats people and another about a bed that eats people, though neither completely match your description. Was it for sure an American or Canadian production?

It wasn't any of the older British ones from the '80s like Tales of the Unexpected or Armchair Thriller, it was definitely "new" when I watched it. Your suggestion of Monsters was good because this picture is very similar to the monster I remember in my head - like a really lame version of a Xenomorph chestburster  But the episode synopsis aren't jumping out at me. I'll keep investigating though because this is the best lead I've ever had, thanks

There’s also The Hunger, which was new in 1997 and aired on Showtime in the US. It does have a few episodes about hotel rooms killing people, although no exact match. Or maybe Tales From the Crypt?

There's this movie where Patton Oswalt or someone who looks just like him [and it's kind of weird how many actor-comedians do when you'd think he'd be unique] plays a coach, teacher, or principal who sorta mentors an obese child. Looked up PO's filmography and can't find it but it has a really sweet scene where after overcoming his insecurities the kid asks if he should ask out this girl that he's closely befriended and if a girl like her could ever truly be attracted to someone like him. And the principal says no, probably not, and that he shouldn't risk getting his heart broken just now. What makes it so interesting is that it's not played for laughs or setting up a scene where the kid makes a big gesture (TM). It just is what it is and coming from a caring place. And Oswalt looks pained to have to say any of this. e: Turns out it's not Patton Oswalt, it's John C. Riley in the film Terri (2011). Thanks codyclarke.
