I hope I am not mixing two movies, this was a movie where a boy/guy lived in an attic. It was a color movie. At night you would see him running on a hill. He was always watching people in the house, but they didn't know he existed. But he murders the girls living in a house or sorority. I think he beat them to death. I think it was one girl at a time. It was a late night movie that scared the heck out of me in the mid-70's when I was babysitting. It had to be released in the late 60's or early 70's. Seems to me the guy made wierd noises or talked to himself when he was watching the girls and that he was younger like a teen.
Result: Blood Relations Thanx Lord_Rhylin. Apr 1, 2009
I'm looking for a horror film I saw on VHS in the UK in the mid 1990s (although I think it was probably made in the late eighties). I thought the film was called Blood Ties but I can't find anything on the net about it. The film is about a man who goes to live in his father's scary mansion with his new wife (who has long dark hair). The film is set in the present and there's lots of vampire type stuff going on and I think it's a European film, maybe Italian?
Result: Dead And Buried Thanx runninrabbit. Jan 7, 2007
I'm looking for a film (very little chance that it was a series episode) which I saw in the late 1980s or beginning of 1990s on German TV. Color, pretty sure north american or british production, and I guess it looked like a film of 1970s or 1980s. It was a Horror/Science Fiction film which plays in present: In a village people are replaced by robots or Androids, and the main actor/actress finds out. I remember two scenes: In 1st scene someone opens in panic a grave to find out whether a dead person was really human - he/she wasn't, only metal and tubes are in the coffin. 2nd scene plays in a hospital: The main actor/actress looks behind a curtain and sees a damaged android with tubes out of the body which shall be repaired. Reminds me of "Stepford Wifes" (1975), but do these two scenes occur in this film?

Result: The Other Thanx runninrabbit. Jan 7, 2007
I saw it in the 70's I believe. It was an old movie then. It was on TV and in black and white and seemed British as they all had British accents. My memory of it is very sketchy but I'll do the best I can. It had a young boy in it... about 12 and his I think cousin was sent to live with him. Bad things started to happen to the young boy. They were the fault of his cousin. The worst thing I remember and only thing I remember specifically was the cousin killed the boy's pet cat and stuffed it in a cupboard in the house. The little boy found it there. And, sadly that's all I remember.

I saw this movie about ten years ago and it was in color. I don't remember any of the names of the people in the films, but I believe it was french or italian. It had a girl in it and she ends up sleeping around with some of the soldiers on an army base (i'm not sure if they were french, they could have been american) She then falls in love with a street guy who is around the same age as she. I specifically remember them living in the woods and swimming in the lake and also they tried to steal something from someone by the end of the movie and one of them dies. In the middle part there's a scene that takes place in a communal swimming pool and she is almost raped in one of the shower rooms.

I've been searching for a movie that I saw on Disney channel. It was shown early 90's, but I think it was filmed in the 80's.It involved twins. (A boy and a girl--blond hair) They were separated and then reunited in an orphanage. They ended up finding they could hear eachother's thoughts. (Telepathic I guess...) And then they end up meeting a man in a Purple coat. He wears a top hat too? (I think.) He had Gray-ish hair. They end up going to a mountain where they are being hunted by police. And when the boy and girl twins arrive they see that they are not the only twins. There is a line of other twins. The twins step up one by one and put their hands together and are beamed up by a light. They re-unite with their family.

I'd like to identify an Australian/New Zealand film that I saw in the mid eighties. It was possibly shown as part of the uk Movie drome season hosted by Alex Cox?. The plot focuses on possibly a scientist/metreologist who conducts an experiment. When he awakens the next day he's the only man alive. After his frantic search through empty city streets strewn with abandoned cars he fails to find 'anyone' and begins a descent into madness and starts collecting manequins, which he sets up around his house. He does eventually find someone else, possibly two people?. There's probably only half a dozen actors in it.

I am searching for this movie that was either made in the late 70s or 80s. It's a ghost story but its not scary. It's about a teenage girl who just moved and she's walking through the wood when she encounters the ghost of a teenage boy(has curly hair). The ghost was in an accident. Anyway, the girl agrees to help him. At the end of the movie, the girl ends up in an accident and they take her to the hospital. Her own ghost begins floating around the hospital and the boy's ghost tries to get her to get back in her body. Finally, she does. And one day, the girl is in the hospital and somehow she runs into a patient in a wheel chair in his room and to her surprise-it's him-the ghost of the boy. Only he doesnt remember her. That's the way the the movie ends. It's not the movie "Sandcastle".

The story takes place over the year she spent in captivity until General Custer demanded her and Sarah's release. Although highly romanticized and therefore not very realisitic, it is still a very enjoyable and well filmed movie. Thanx Alli, Alisa. Aug 19, 2006

Ok back in the later 90's(about 95-98) I saw a movie on tv and I know it was only made for tv, so that should narrow the search. It is a western where two women are abducted by a tribe of indians. I think they were friends and one woman is married. Earlier in the movie an indian didn't attack the married woman because she held up a Bible. They live with the indian tribe for a long time, until her husband and other men of the town demand the safe return of the women. The married woman had fallen in love with the indian that kidnapped her and even after she goes back to her husband she returns to the tribe. The tribe then leaves because of the settlers taking over their land. This movie had a Dances with Wolves type of setting.

This movie must have been made sometime before the mid 90s. It's an animated film for children, and my memory's a bit foggy but certain parts of it have been haunting me for years. I believe the main character is a boy. In one scene, he is in some sort of toyland (perhaps it is Christmas time?); I remember a train set of some sort. But the part that really haunts me is that the boy is at some kind of ball or party and then he leaves it because he is lured down to a place where there is a door, and there is something evil behind the door. I'm thinking that he did something like look through the lock and he sees some sort of "evil" green liquid?

Please help... I remember this movie was playing on IFC one night about two years ago, probably 2002-2003. It kind of reminded me of the movie the Beach, but way different in plot developement(probably due to a foreign director). It had two guys and a girl, The movie was based in a tropical southernous, or even mexico or spain. What happens as these three traveled around in a bus, and an old car to various places including a beach(s. The bus or car might have been blue. It seemed like they were going to mexico. One of the two were a couple, and they shagged in an apartment(hotel) on the way, and also in the car on a sandy road, as i think it broke down. Parts of the movie might have been in a foriegn language. They smoked marijuana, and drank beers. By the end of the movie they were seperated I believe, and They were reunited at some cafe in a metro area. The movie was in color. Parts were foriegn. Lots of sand, lush greenery in some parts.

I'm looking for a Science Fiction movie that I remember seeing a number of times back in the late 60's to late 70's, basically before I graduated HS in 1978.In my mind the movie reminds me a LOT of the classic "It Came from Outer Space".Basically an alien ship crashes in a snowy region. I can't remember if it's outside the US, maybe Norway, Switzerland? I can't remember.Anyway, the ship is buried in the snow near a city/village. I seem to recall that a winter carnival may be taking place so lots of innocent revelers to attack. The alien(s) come out from time to time to eat someone and then disappears. Arrgghhh, again I can't remember if the Alien(s) have control over the victims or just catch them unaware.Someone very "Richard Carlson" like (I thought it WAS him but no listing in the IMDB resembles this movie except of course "It Came from Outer space" ) gets suspicious, starts investigating, and I seem to recall that the aliens obviously leave snow tracks that he notices, investigates, and then eventually finds the monster/alien(s) and their ship. I know that all seems VERY vague but it's been over 28 years since I last viewed it and all I really remember is enjoying it enough to watch multiple times.

I'm not sure if this was a movie or a teaser trailer leading into a movie. It was made in the late 70's, early 80's I think. I remember the scene shows a baby's crib from behind. The room is dark. The camera slowly moves towards the crib. For some reason, I think I remember a phone ringing, but I could be wrong about that. As the camera gets closer, a creepy looking hand pops out. Once again, I can't remember if this was a movie or a commercial for a movie. I believe it could have been in HBO or Showtime.

Other then this I do not have any more information. I think the girl that was kidnapped and killed was in the family. - poster
This movie was in the 1980's it was a story of a missing girl that was kidnapped by two men. All I remember is that there was a girl, and a boy searching for the answer to what happened to her. The kids arrive on a plane that arrives on the water to meet the Uncle for a summer vacation, I think the cousin(s)decide to search after they found out about the girl. They follow these men through the course of the movie. At the end they find a cave and there is a deep hole they find and that is where the girl in the dress fell/or was pushed, as her remains were there. Then the parents/grownups meet them there and bring closure where this girl has been all this time.

Result: Sole Survivor starring a young William Shatner, along with Richard Basehart. It's based on the real case of the B24 Liberator bomber "Lady Be Good", which vanished after a mission in WWII and was not found until many years later in the Libyan desert. The repeated search efforts that then ensude revealed that all but one of the crew had survived the crash and had attempted to walk through the desert to safety. Some of them lasted eight days without water and covered more than 100 miles before succumbing.This incident was also the inspiration for the "King Nine Will Not Return" episode of the original "Twilight Zone" series.I highly recommend the Wikipedia entry on the Lady Be Good for additional research.

One scene story they meet some girls who want some drugs, so the girls will sleep with them, or fool around or whatever. At one of the boys homes; The boys muster up "sweet and low" or some artificial sweetener or something, and present it as cocaine to the girls which fools them. In the next scene the girls are in the bed, while they boys are in the bathroom - the parents come home and go to bed, replacing the girls. Then the boy or one of them anyway comes to the bed and snuggle up with the kids parents, after some witty remark the boys leave, and lose the girls of course, onto some other adventure. Seem to think it was a comedy type-teen film.

Result: Locked In Silence (1999) (TV)with Bonnie Bedelia and Marc Donato. But it is about a boy who elects to be mute after his brother threatens him after witnessing an accidental killing of another boy. As for the cover of the movie described, The Stone Boy (1984) with Glenn Close, Robert Duvall and Jason Presson, has a boy on the cover and the story is of a young boy that accidently shoots his older brother and is shunned by his family. Also Searching for Bobby Fischer has a boy hugging his knee on the cover, but he isn't mute. I don't know if this helps or not, but I just thought I'd give some suggestions. Also there is Silent Fall about a boy that witnesses his parents muders and becomes mute. Stars Liv Tyler and richard Dreyfus. Thanx Alli. Aug 19, 2006

It's about a boy who was lost for a period of time (I can't remember how long). When he was found he either couldn't speak or couldn't remember what had happened to him. I though the title was something like, 'Whatever happenned to...' or "The truth of what happened to. The movie is suppose to be based on a real event. The boy seemed to be between the ages of five and nine. I remember that the picture Netflix had for the movie was a small boy sitting down holding his knees close to his chest.

Result: Summer (2002) Canadian TV Thanx Midnight Creeper. Apr 22, 2007
I saw this movie circa 2002 on a movie channel, it's a color film, and Canadian, which I think was made a few years earlier than when I saw it, in the late 90's. It revolves mainly around 3 friends, 2 guys and a girl who spend most of their time hanging out at a public pool, slackers who are college age. One guy I believe he even carries a briefcase that he takes on all his trips to the pool, like it's his office. They end up kicked out of the pool at one point, possibly banned, and one of the guys sneaks back to go swim at night. The main guy is more heavyset, with a red headed girlfriend I think, the other guy looks kinda like a young Kramer on Seinfeld, and the girl is a blonde who wants to be an actress. They eventually start hanging out with a blues musician too, who becomes the romantic interest of the blonde girl. I sent this in before, but the answer I got is the wrong movie, maybe this revised question will help.

I did a search about 4 years ago and found one link to this cartoon movie probably from the early 1980's. It is called "Once Upon A Time". I believe it may have been produced by a German. I'm not sure. It was about a blonde girl named Maria who had a blue dog named Blue. She had a step sister with black hair who stole her (Maria's) necklace, that a prince gave her, and threw it down a well. The whole movie is about her trying to get the necklace back after jumping into the well and going into a magical land. I remember a scene where Maria is feeding babies some kind of oatmeal and there is a pillow fight with the babies. I saw it in the early 80's and i have been searching for it for many years now.

I can't exactly remember when the movie was aired but belive it was the eighties? It involved a group of people I believe in a camper van/recreation vehicle in the australian outback. Slowly but surely they were all killed of mostly taken during the night by some sort of creatures? Anyway the ending was very sudden and it involved a guy who ran through a long opening in the trees, towards an open road. He reached the road thinking that all was not lost and he was safe. But as he turned around he was hit by an oncoming truck and was splattered all over the road

I saw this movie in the late 80's, I beleive it was on USA up all night. I was about a group of people who are exploring a cave. They find a purple rock that looks sort of like a bunch of grapes, and somehow it turns people into monsters, I think someone escapes at the end but ends up turning into a monther themself. I remember it gave me many nightmares.

1960s, youngish couple (possibly the niece and her husband?) trying to frighten to death an older woman so as to inherit her money. Takes place in a posh townhouse, many levels, possibly British. There is an elevator involved, one of those cage elevators. At one point, a body loosely wrapped in a bloody sheet is seen going up in this elevator while the perpetrator attempts to keep what I belive is an investigator from turning around and seeing it as it rises past the floor they're on. I think there was also a statue involved toward the end of the movie, perhaps encasing the murder victim.

I am looking for a horror movie from the 1970's, I believe. I don't have much to go on other than there were reoccurring scenes of the woman coming face to face with a children's small (blue, I think) rocking horse in the attic.

Need help finding a title to a movie, though not much to go on. I saw this movie on TV, in Britian, in the early 80's. The movie looked to be older though, maybe from the 70's. I think it was set in England in sometime between the 50's to 70's, though I'm not sure on that. I have only a few vague memories of a few scenes. I think the overall premise is a large mansion full of people getting killed off one by one by apparent "accidents". The one scene that left the strongest impression was a women going for a swim in a large indoor pool, lots of white marble and pillars around, and while she's under the water, the pool traps her underneath the water, as if there's a pane of glass covering the surface of the pool. She drowns, and there's a mysterious onlooker standing up on a balcony above. Another scene involved a woman sitting at a vanity brushing her hair, and the mirrow shatters outward, sending shards flying into her. One other thing, I think this movie had something to do with a ring, that was passed from house guest to house guest, and the person wearing it was doomed to die, though I'm not certain on that point, may be another movie. The pool scene is the strongest memory I have.

this movie was shown on the disney channel during probably late 80's (1989) or early 90's (90-91) it was in color you can say it was a horror movie. the whole thing is tht theres this kid probably 9 to 13 years old and he goes up this creepy hill where there is an abandon house(for some reason i think during early in the movie he is told not to go up to this house OR haunted house) inside its very creepy he goes UP to the 2nd floor were theres a big mirror, he looks at it, stares for a while and sees something that makes him scream while hes still staring at the mirror. the boy has a sister probably like 15 to 17years old im not sure if she was with him at the moment that this happened but during the rest of the movie they are in many of the scenes. After he sees whatever he saw in the mirror , i guess he went in to shock because his hair starts to fall off till hes completly bald, and has to go through the entire movie wearing wigs and hiding himself because he feels different, plus everyone makes fun of him. Another main character is he's father, the boy doesnt have a mother, but somehow at the end of the movie theyre ALL at the same spot we the mirror is in, inside the abandon house.

A cupboard was opened and a gun fell out and shot someone. One person stepped out of the door and fell down a hole. When there was one woman left, whom you assumed was guilty of all the murders, she left the house. Just before the credits she opened up an umberella and it exploded.

I'm looking for an obscure private school movie that was made in the 80's. The main thing I remember is an extensive shopping trip to some major location (Paris?) that the bad girl wasn't allowed to go on. I also remember a scene where the bad girl comes in with really inappropriate clothes (not the required uniform) and plays some music on a boom box when there was supposed to be total quiet. I also think one of the plot lines had a swindler guy pulling one over on the head mistress and the girls that hated each other having to work together to keep the school open, or from being taken over. No famous actors/actresses in it that I can remember...

I rented this movie somewhere between 1999 and 2004, an American film. Rented from BlockBuster. It was either independant or just a "B-" movie. I cannot remember the title or actors (they were unknowns) The plot was this---A young guy loses his job, decides to hop in his old convertible and take a road trip - drive across country or drive to another state for the new job. Along the way he meets a mysterious man (the devil?) and has to go on this goose-chase of sorts, solving riddles. It's a combo mystery/comedy/thriller....He winds up on some old Route/highway (666? OR 66?) during this journey and at the end, the movie implies that this highway never existed, and you are left with the main character to wonder if any of it happened or if it was a dream. The cover of the video had the guy in his car, with one of those state Route signs....That's all i can remember for the life of me.

I saw this film on a Movie channel. It was a color film. I don't know any character or actor name but i remember the story. a young girl is taken away by some men / women. One of the man from them has sex with the young girl forcefully and all men / women help the man in this act. Later i think the man falls in love with her. They all used to torture the girl. They then capture a big fort and kill all man there and take control of that fort. The girl's boyfriend remains in search for her and finally finds her in that fort with those men / women. They also torture her boyfriend very badly. I well remember that end of the movie in which the people, who took away the girl, were busy in eating food and then some one go to a well to get some water and all the water was already poisoned. Finally all people die one by one and only the girl, her boyfriend and the man who fall in love with the young girl remain alive. A lot of nudity, sex, violence was there in this movie. In this movie, people used horse riding for traveling. No car, truck, helicopter or aeroplane in this movie. It comes into my mind that Alan Rickman was in this movie but I am not 100% sure. May be I am mistaking.

It was about a woman who had just been released from jail, reuniting with her young child. Her exboyfriend (possibly the father of the kid) somehow coerces her into helping him and his friends rob a bank. She has technical know-how of how to rob a bank (cameras, laser senses, etc.). I don't remember who played the lead. I thought perhaps Geena Davis, but that was incorrect. I seem to remember her being blond, similar looking to Kim Dawson, perhaps.

It's probably from the early 90s or so... I'm sure I've seen it aired on TV... it's about a single, pregnant young woman, and as I recall it is really more character-driven than plot-driven... about the pluck and positive attitude she brings to her decision to really step up and be a mother to this baby. I'm 98% sure that the title is one word, simply the first name of the character. (And believe me, I've been racking my brain to think of it! Like "Gina" or "Julia" or something like that.)

Very cool, in a "It Takes a Thief" mode.The last month, I've tried Googling every variation I can think of, and can't come up with the name of series. The family was named St. Clair or Sinclaire.

Hello,I am looking for a made-for-tv Lifetime movie entitled "The Other Woman." It starred Anne Meara as Peg Gifford, and Hal Linden as Lou Chadwick. I believe it was made in 1983. The plot was that Lou Chadwick married a much younger woman, only to fall in love with a grandmother (Anne Meara). The setting in the last scene was Thanksgiving, so I always look especially around the holidays, but no luck. The last ime I saw it in my cable book was years ago on a Showtime "Love" or "Romance" channel.I have written to Lifetime over and over, but they do have the courtesy to answer me. I have a feeling that this was never released the normal way, so my only hope is that someone has it in an archive.

I need help identifying this color movie which I believe was made in the late 1970-very early 1980's (I saw it on TV some time ago & I've been trying to find it now for a while...). The plot goes something like this... A group of oil workers crash lands on a beach on an island in the Pacific Ocean. The island is inhabited by some nasty head hunters/cannibals (they killed one the plane's crew who had been blinded in the crash), and a group of French ladies who landed on the island when their plane crashed when they were fleeing Vietnam as kids in the mid-1950's (this was shown in flash backs through outr the film). I remember the story was based around the guys trying to get the plane to fly (which they did) while staying one step ahead of the head hunters. I don't know who acted in the movie, but if anyone could point me towards the title
Result: All The Kind Strangers (1974) (TV) with Stacy Keach, Samantha Eggar & Robby Benson. Thanx Alli. Jul 27, 2006
Hi:I'm looking for a horror movie which probably is in black and white. I watched it 10 years ago on regular (German) TV. The origin must be English or American.I suppose the story plays in the US. A family (parents, 2 kids) is on a trip by car and they have to stop (due to any unknown reason). They arrive at a big house where small kids live in (their parents died a long time ago). The family is then detained by the kids. They lock the parents away and the kids (of the guest family) are only allowed to go outside and work. Every day there is a vote within the group of the kids whether to kill the parents or not. It's a majority decision so many conflicts erupt as some kids of the house become acquainted with the kids of the detained family. All kids are between 5 and 13 years old, the oldest is a guy who is sick of all the killing (the kids had killed other guests before). A small girl seems to be the most radical and informal group leader although there are older kids in this house.The car of the detained family is drowned in a nearby lake (or moor) by the kids. This is the way which several other cars had gone from other visitors as well.There are quite a few attempts to escape. I can remember two. The first one took place in the barn and one male kid stops (one of the parents I assume) with a shotgun. In their last attempt, they try to mobilize a car from a nearby junkyard but this is also doomed to fail as their attempt is recognized by the oldest kid and the car is damaged or destroyed. I think the situation comes to a showdown in the garden or in the junkyard between the parents and the oldest kids then.
