this is mid 80's to early 90's. color movie. saw on showtime or hbo. this guy wants to show his apt. to his girlfriend or shes just a friend not sure which and hes showing her how everything is all automated. theres certain colors of lights and music for certain moods, and the water is also set up in some way to where he has to have some password or something to even let the water run. oh, and the windows are hooked up into the system too. he leaves her there and the apt starts doing all these crazy things but i think hes somewhere controlling it. like theres no water and doors are opening and closing by themselves and she cant open a window to call for help. i think she sat in front of the bathroom sink for hours trying to get drops of water out of the faucet. and she also writes help with her lipstick on the livingroom windows. (its a downtown building the apt.s like on the 6 or 7th floor.)
Result: Zenon - Girl Of The 21st Century Thanx malcam66. Sep 7, 2006
I remember this movie from the early nineties that aired on the Disney channel. It was the story of a young girl living in the future where there are crazy inventions, including one that all you have to do is step into this closet and you can become clean and dressed. Somehow she is transported to the past where she has to live with no fancy inventions. She meets a girl with crazy hair, jenny-Kelly was her name, and she moves in with her family. Something happens with a microwave that she sets on fire. The girl from the future also has a magic headband that can shoot lazers from it and one day Jenny-Kelly's brother finds it and stops some bullies with it. There is also a guy chasing her who wants her powers, but professes he wants her to kill him.

I am looking for a movie, i had seen 10 years ago approximately in 1995 or 1996. It was a colour movie. I had seen the end of that movie. It was something like that. There was a limping girl, walking on a toe of her right or left leg. but i am sure she was limping. she kills a man of 30. then she limps through the streets and riches to an open area where she had a fight with one guy who had tied up one girl up side down. The most distinguished thing was that she tooks of her whig and shows her face, she was bald and her face was half burnt. same way the guy's face was also badly burnt. this all was happened in the end. I am not sure but i think that the name of a movie was The Screech or something like that.

I am looking for a movie that I saw on TV between 1980-1984, the main scene I distinctly remember is in a bathroom, shower must have been running its steeming up the place, and the camera pans over the bathroom floor and out of nowhere appears a person's image - scared the crap out of me.
Result: Innocent Blood (1992) with Anna Parillaud, the chick from the original La Femme Nikita movie, and Robert Loggia as the mob boss turned vampire. Actually, a pretty good movie. Thanx fishrockcarving, Mark, jade. Aug 30, 2006
This girl, I think she might have been french. She was a vampire. And when she fed, she had glowing green eyes I think. Whenever she fed though, she snapped the necks of her victims, so that they wouldn't come back. In the middle of her trying to snap one other victims neck, something happened, and she didn't finish the job. He ended up becoming a vampire and I think he had glowing red eyes when he fed. he was some kind of mob boss I think. He turned all his friends, and they went after the girl. I think she had short black hair. I remember a policeman helping her, and at the end, the guy she didn't finish off was set on fire, and still walking around until he turned into a pile of ashes. She tried to walk off into the sunset because she didn't want that to happen again, and the policeman stopped her because he was in love with her.

The story is set in the early 1900s (i think) and has to do with a boy going to visit family in the mountains. He becomes friends with a local younger boy.

The little boy's older sister is pissed at the older boy and wont let him come around her little brother. The visiting older boy then meets an old man who shows him how to carve wooden animals. He makes a bunch and tries to give them to the little boy but the older sister wont let him. The older boy then carves a really nice horse to give to the girl. But she breaks it (i think).

I was about a man who treated woman like trash & was a real player & he died & they would let him into heaven so they sent him back as a woman & the only way he could get into heaven was if he made a man fall in love with him or if he fell in love (I can't remember which) The actress who played the woman he was sent back as had blond hair.

The movie I'm looking for is an animated children's fantasy picture that was probably released in the late 80s or early 90s. It's about a boy who has these really wild dreams. One day after seeing a bunch of performers in a parade he goes to sleep and has a dream where his bed takes him to this fantascial kingdom in which the performers show up as different characters. One them includes a clown type figure who lies a lot, smokes fat cigars, gets into trouble, and almost gets shot out of a cannon. Another is a snobbish but kind-hearted princess who thinks the kid's pajamas are his underwear. The only other one I can remeber is a fat, jolly man (maybe a king) who likes to ride around on a toy train and has a scepter that has great power. Anyway, the jolly man gives the kid a key with symbol on it and tells him that he cannot open the door with that same symbol printed on it. However, due to the urging of the clown, the kid opens it anyway and releases an evil spirit that captures the old man and the scepter. So naturally the kid goes on a journey to retrieve the his friend and destroy the evil spirit. One other detail that might help is that the kid also has a pet hampster who becomes very offended when people call him "a rat!"

I remember seeing this movie when I was young, but I dont think it was a new movie. This was in the late 80's early 90's. It was in color. I only remember some of the story in which i think the parents of a small boy (maybe 8 yrs old) were getting a divorce or just finished getting one. the dad was supposed to take the boy to disneyland and to get back at his ex-wife, gave their son some kind of pills in a motel room and when the boy was asleep threw gasoline on him and lit him on fire. maybe they were in an apartment. i remember the boy lived and there was a court seen where the judge told the dad he had to look at the pictures of his burnt son. the boy was released fromn the hospital at the end. I think his name was micheal and that might have been in the title. i also think it was based on a true story but not certain.

i believe its an 80s movie,american and in color.i remember watching it on t.v. in the mid to late 80s but i dont remember if it was a vhs or movie on t.v.what i vaguely remember is that the main character is somehow caught in the middle of some aliens trying to take over or destroy the earth and a human bad guy also trying to take over the earth.i remember a scene where the aliens offer the main character the most perfect glass of water ever or a weapon that can destroy the whole earth.he chooses the glass of water but its that gun that the human bad guys are after.another scene i remember is the main character fighting off the human bad guys with a nail gun or something like that from his garage.it wasnt a futuristic movie,it was supposed to be in modern times when the movie was made.i believe it was an action movie with a sense of humor,or at least i remember it being somewhat funny in some parts as a kid and it had some sci fi elements,such as the aliens.i have no idea if it was a real movie,some made for t.v. show or what.ive been trying to figure this out since i was a kid and i cant figure out what it is.
Result: The Boy With Two Heads (1974) (TV) aka Chico the Rainmaker series from the UK. Thanx Alli. Aug 25, 2006
The film I am thinking of is from the late 70s, maybe earlt 80s. The film was definitely in color, because the part Im remembering is a green talking head which is carried around by a young boy and girl in a box or maybe a basket. I believe the boy may have been Ike Eisenmann, but not 100% sure.They were trying to locate some kind of treasure that the green head knew about. He would give them clues and riddles along the way, except some of them were lies.so they would have to figure out along the way if it was lying to them or not. There were also some bad guys that were trying to steal the head from them so they could get it too.Thats it wish I could remember more but I was like 5 or 6.
Result: Lifepod (1993) (TV) directed by Ron Silver, starring Ron Silver, Robert Loggia. Thanx Juniper. Aug 28, 2006
I saw this movie on t.v. (in Australia) around the mid-nineties and it was in colour and it appeared to be a reasonably recent movie made around the early nineties. What I remember (or at least think I remember) of the movie is that it starts with a group of people aboard some sort of space station that for some reason they have to evacuate and the beginning of the movie follows a small group of these people as they frantically run around looking for an escape pod only to find that they have already left or are full. They finally find one and when they run inside they find a blind man sitting alone already waiting to leave. A few other people arrive and then they take off and I think that they are heading somewhere to be rescued, I seem to remember that one of the main characters is a female who seems to take control of the situation due to her skills and/or profession. They think that the worst is over but then they find that there are problems with the communications etc. and to add to that they start getting killed off one by one by some sort of alien/creature. They decide that they have to kill this thing before it's too late but they can't seem to find it anywhere aboard the ship. The only other part of the movie I remember in any detail is the twist near the end of the movie when you find out the truth about this alien/creature, the twist being that the innocent blind man is not really blind and is in fact the alien/creature.

British BBC mini series from 1997/99 made by Jimmy McGovern called "The Lakes" Part One and Two.Bill Paterson was involved in the making of the series. It involves the story of some young children who take a boat out in the lake and some of them are drowned. It is approx. 600 minutes. It is listed on Amazon.ca and Amazon.com but they are out of stock. And in the UK the format seems to be mainly the PAL format which will not work in my vhs or dvd machines.I would be happy to get either vhs or dvd formats, as long as I can watch it!!
Result: Mr. Reliable (1996) with Colin Friels. Thanx Alli. Aug 25, 2006
I remember many years ago, I watched a movie on either the IFC or Sundance. The movie was set in Australia, and it was about a huge standoff between this guy in a house and tons of police.The guy did some little thing, and the cops blew it out of proportion. He got defensive, and got his shotgun. The police ran, and more cops came. His girlfriend, and maybe her sister were in the house and the cops thought they were his hostages. The house had tons of cops around it, and neighbors started hearing about this. They gathered and protested and shit.
Result: Frequency (2000) with Dennis Quaid and Jim Caveizel. Thanx Anita, PYPSQWEEK, randeez, Alli, Jessica, Juniper, kris, RomanyX, Jeremy, ALNA70. Aug 24, 2006
What is the title of the movie about a Dad in the 1950's who is a ham radio operator, passes away, and then talks to his son in the future? It seems like it came out about 5 years ago.The son grows up and still lives in the same house as his parents did. He accidentally drops the radio and hears a voice through it. His Dad tells him to look on the desk for the cigarette burn he made there some 25 earlier. They begin talking to each other over a period of time as his Dad gives him advice.I believe the purpose of the father communicating with his son was to help him move on with his life.

There's this movie that I watched a bunch of times when I was little (maybe 8 or 9 years ago--1997 or so), and I haven't been able to remember what it was called for ever. I think it was an anime-style kind of thing, color. It was about this kid that gets caught up in some conflict between this kingdom and like, some evil dark force. He's taken from his bedroom to said kingdom, and he meets this princess (who doesn't really like him at first but they become friends?) and he has a little flying squirrel friend (I think it was a squirrel). He accidently unlocks this big evil thing (there was a crow who did the evil bidding of said meanie), and it tries to wipe out the kingdom or something and he saves the day? I can't remember exactly, but there's this one scene where he's having a dream or something and he's flying around on his bed like a rollercoaster... and he's in his pajamas the whole movie. His war cry was "Pajamas pajamas!" or somehting along those lines.

Result: The Longest Night (1990) (TV) with David Janssen and Sallie Shockley, not Susan Dey.

Another remake of this movie is 83 Hours 'Til Dawn (TV) with Robert Urich. Thanx Alli. Aug 25, 2006
Starred Susan Dey when she was a teenager (early 70s). She was kidnapped and buried alive in a box and she had a limited amount of electricity to use -- probably from a generator. She had a fan and an electric light. Definitely a made-for-TV movie, probably on ABC (since they had the Partridge Family).

Result: Cloak & Dagger (1984) with Henry Thomas and Dabney Coleman. Thanx Alli. Aug 25, 2006
I saw this movie when I was younger back in the eighties where the plot surrounded two kids, a boy and a girl. I don't think they were brother and sister, but that is a possibility. The movie involved some type of mystery that the kids were trying to solve. They both had backpacks on. I want to say that the boy had blue and the girl had red. Those backpacks had supplies (flashlights,etc.) in which they used throughout the movie. I think the kids were running away, but that may be something I'm not remembering right. I'm also remembering that a group of people were after these two kids for some reason. I'm sorry for the vagueness, but it has been so long since I have seen this movie.

My brother-in-law is seeking the name of a film he saw on TV in the late 1990s or early 2000s. As he describes the plot, a family with two children is on vacation in the mountains. The father has to leave for some reason. Bad guys arrive and kidnap one or both children. The mother follows them and uses archery equipment to kill the bad guys. If it's any help, brother-in-law subsequently saw the film available on video, but decided to wait until the price came down. You can guess the rest of the story: never found that video again, at any price!

I do believe however that there was a bath tub scene in which he is washing her off as well.

This movie was a creepy, but subtle...probably made in the mid 80's toward late 80's, atleast that's when I saw it. Any ways the only real thing I remember is it had one of those Felix the cat clocks, ya know with the swinging tail and the moving eyes. It also had a robot, or some kind of creature of that sort that did some soldering on a VCR or some electronic device. I visually remember the solder dripping on circuits and such. The movie took place in someone's house, and the owners didn't know what was going on. To be honest I don't even really remember what the plot was or any thing, just a bunch of visual memories and the music I would remember if I heard it.

It's a horror/science fiction movie, most likely from the early 1980s. I've never actually seen the movie, but this is what I vaguely remember from the VHS box: Aliens come to earth for reasons beyond my knowledge, and they develop a taste for human brains. On the VHS box art is a painting of one of the aliens ripping the planet earth down the middle, exposing what looks like brains. I don't remember there being any memorable actors in this movie.

I rented a foreign film because of the picture on the cover a few years ago and I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it so that I can find it a purchase it. It even be 10-15 years ago even so it is not new. If I am guessing it was a Persian film. (I searched an Iranian film sight but no...) It was a love story and about breaking away from the confines of your family culture blah blah blah - but it involved a nomad tribe of people who traveled around and made and sold colored cloth (possibly silk). They died it and hung it in the wind to dry so I remember all these beautiful colored sails of cloth blowing in the wind. Not much to go on is it. I have tried searching using 'caravan', 'wind', 'silk' 'colors', and the like... not likely to get lucky I know.

I watched a movie as a kid in the late 70's early 80's that I can only vaguely remember. It was Sci-Fi and I guess set in the future. Each couple was only allowed to have one child and I think the couple it's about were pregnant with a second child. They get locked or kept in a dome and I seem to recall it was in a field with lots of other domes. This couple dig their way out through the ground but that's all I can remember. My dad tells me it's blade runner but I don't think so. I've been thinking of this film for years but never knew where to begin looking for an answer!

I saw this movie when I was a kid, late 80's, I think. So it could have been made before that. Anyway, this is a Japanese animated movie that I saw at the movie rental place, and I've seen it once or twice. There's a dragon who has a human son, but for some reason she can't keep him, and sends him floating down river in a basket. But to keep him quiet, she gives him one of her eyes to play with on his journey. He ends up being found by a peasent woman and raised by her. I don't remember much except that he went on a journey and found this lake that was dammed up, and with the help of...someone, he broke the dam, but as the lake drained, there was the dragon, dying, and she revealed to him that she was his mother and died. i think she comes back to life, but I can't remeber really.

While I was watching what I think was a made-for-television movie, I dozed off and never saw the end.Here is the part of the movie that I saw. A young woman somehow meets a man that she had been in love with while they were in college, but they had gone their separate ways. While they are talking, someone tries to snatch her purse, the young man tries to get it back, and he is shot.He is then hospitalized and I think he was paralyzed. She stays with him in the hospital, although he wants her to leave becaue he is down on life at that point. She doesn't leave, nd while she is there, he receives a visit from his father (I think that role was played by Corbin Bernsen, but I'm not sure). The father and son had had a very difficult relationship. Just before I dozed off, the father and the former girlfriend had gone to a house to relax (I don't know whose house it was), and it looked like they were in the process of starting an affair, although they both felt guilty about the effect it would have on the son.
Result: Lady Beware (1987) starring Diane Lane. Thanx Marphisa. Jan 10, 2007
I am looking for a movie that I saw on HBO or Showtime back in 1988 I believe. It was an American movie, I think staged in either New York, L.A. or Chicago, about a woman who lived in a studio apartment. She was an artist, but there was a man stalking her. When she would leave for work or just leave her apartment, he would go into her apartment and just go through her things...i.e. smelling them, kissing them. He even took a bath in her tub and I can sort of remember colored pearls in the picture. Once she found out who he was, she took a picture of him, and started posting it all throughout the neighborhood, calling him a pervert. It seemed like a good movie, but I wasn't able to watch it all the way through.

A mysterious stranger at a diner in a rural area recounts the story of his unit in Vietnam. He was the only survivor and has a Zippo lighter with his unit's motto "nightcrawlers" written on it. He survived by literally walking on the bones of his fellow soldiers, hence the name. He unleashes a violent fury of psychic energy and blows up the surrounding town and incoming police cars.

Looking for confirmation that a movie (circa 1970-1973) I saw was actually a Circle of Fear/Ghost Story episode from the early 1970s (American horror TV show). Plot involved an elderly man who made small dolls out of potatoes and toothpicks for his granddaughter--one for each member of the family. When a fire breaks out in the granddaughter's home, she carries her dolls to safety--all except the one representing the grandfather. In his own home, the grandfather blows out the pilot light to a gas stove and lights a match, blowing/burning himself up.

Thinking it is an American rocket, the Soviets attempt to shoot it down, but succeed only in disabling it so that this enormous spaceship is now orbiting the earth low in the atmosphere, incinerating everything below in a miles wide swath of incredible destruction. An intrepid team of American scientists must figure out how to shoot this object down before the earth is pealed like an orange! Somewhere in the course of the film Toronto (I believe) is destroyed, New York City is next. The heros figure out that this is indeed a spaceship from another planet, but have to destroy it anyway. What a pity. I imagine this is an American film, since Americans are the heros, Russians the villians, and Canadian cities hapless and apparently not very significant colateral damage.
Result: Le Huitieme Jour (1996) aka The Eighth Day This is the French movie starring Daniel Auteuil. Thanx Midnight Creeper. Apr 22, 2007
I saw this film in the mid to late 90's, I believe. It was a foreign film and I'm almost positive it was French. The movie is about a disabled man and a businessman. The disabled man begins following the other main character around and, despite the businessman's efforts, the disabled character refuses to leave him alone. The disabled man is deathly allergic to chocolate and, at the conclusion of the film, ends his life by jumping off of a building. I know the film was rented and so I'm not completely sure of it's release date.

Hello, I am searching for a movie that I seen on tv. The movie was based in the early 1700's- 1800's. I was about a man asking another man to die in his place. The man was rich, he didn't want to die, so he offered anyone in jail to take place and he would give the money to the man's family, so he did, but he stayed in his home with the other man's family, his sister and mother. The man that died sister was very upset with the man, because her brother died and he was alive and still stayed there in his home like nothing happened. I can't rember what happened after that, but, I beleive the man and the young girl fell in love. This movie was aired on tv between the 1980's -1990's. Thans for your help.

I'm looking to find out a movie I saw as a child about 20 maybe 25 years ago. All I remember was a woman in white (ghostly like) would come out of this house on a cliff that watches over the ocean, stand on the edge and watch and wait for her child. I think if I remember right, the child was killed somehow whether being in a fire, fell over, or maybe had something to do with some old guy...ahhh...ok key memories of this movie...young child (blonde female), mother, older gentleman with an older model car maybe 40's I saw the ending so it's difficult to say the whole plot. in the end the mother finally is reunited with her child. Ending credit song is "did you ever see a dream walking".

I saw this move some time in the mid 70's to early 80's, it was a made for tv movie. A woman was on a bussiness trip to Germany near the iron curtan & staying in a old hotel there. She had dreams/flashbacks of a Jewish girl that used to live in the same room during Nazi Germany. She was about 18 years old. Her father was a butcher & was a really fat guy who treated her badly. Her mother was dead. She met a German solder who was hurt & hid him in a secret room she had found behind her wardrobe. They fell in love. I thought the hame of the movie might be The Hidden Room, or The Secret Room.

Ok, I seen this movie about 3years ago, but I know that it was a 90s horror movie, bad graphics n stuff, but I can't remember for the life in m e what it was called. I think I watched it on the SCI-FI channel around Halloween time. It is in colour, and an American movie. its about this group of teenagers who are on their way to a halloween party n the van breaks down outside this mansion in the middle of nower. so everyone goes in the house, apart from the black kid who tries to fix the car but he gets ran over by the van with no1 inside it then he turns into a zombie. so the guys in the house go off n do their own thing, like look around or have sex n each start to turn into zombies n stuff by this demon who is dressed like a woman, n like sexually arouses them to lure them to kill them. one girl gets a snake for an arm n another turns into an evil human cat! the house is owned either by the devil or the demon (whatever it is) that need so many souls before dawn or the house disappears along with the demon. I know there is a barn and a kitchen (if that helps!). there are two servivors, i dont know if they're boyfriend n girlfriend but there is one boy n one girl, who get off the property just as the sun rises.i was so sure that it was called dead house but i've searched n its not!
Result: Boys From Brazil Thanx runninrabbit. Jan 7, 2007
Black and White possibly made in England Italy or the US sometime between 1950 and 1970. It's a horror film that played on Chicago's Son of Svengoole between 1975 and 1978. I remember two scenes: There is a group of 8-13 year boys who attend a harsh military school where the teachers beat the hell out of the students in the class. As a result the students take it out on new and younger students though hazing rituals, one of which is an exercise where a new or unproven student must hold onto a chain or rope while the other students push him over a pit filled with rats. The Alpha student determines how many times the victim must swing over the pit until he proves his worth or bribes his way out of it. The boys wear an old-style military uniform while the boy on the swing strips down to a loose fitting old-style full body undergarment and must hold on for his life. The production feels cheap as a long shot of hundreds of boys being let out of the school, climbing down stairs and beating and punching and clubbing each other reapeats in its entirety at least 2 times. Could be a Nazi Youth movie, but it definately was shot on a set vs. on location, so I doubt it was part of the Grindhouse/Exploitation set of the late 60's or early 70's.
Result: Ghosthouse Thanx Vlad the Impala, Jon. Aug 26, 2006
I watched this horror movie in 1993, and have only craved to watch it again. The memory that i have of the memory is pretty vague, since i had been only 10 at that time. What i do recall is that there was this group of youngesters (either teenagers or young adults of males and females)that are either camping or are trapped in this area (possibly a car breakdown). They find this large house where they stay for a while. outside of the house this crazy and larger older man. Outside in maddness he attempts to kill the group off one by one...but that isn't the true problem. Apparently, as i recall it, his daughter is buried with her CURSED/POSESSED Clown doll in this shed... i recall a part where one friend is hiding there, and shortly after the girl's skeleton or freaky type of arm grabs the young woman. Everytime there was a killing the camera would aim at the clown doll with weird type of scarey music do dod odod...something or other. I recall another part where one victim is cut in half....also, the ending shows that few members of this group escape and are back in their urban/city area.... when they assume that all is normal and great again...then one of the females (i believe) looks in a toy store window to find that clown and then the music occurs again.... instantly, the woman is hit by a vehicle since the clown as i believe has cursed the family (since the older man that was the killer at the house or in rage was possibly the dead young girl's dad and that clown had belonged to her and impacted both his insanity/rage and possibly her death). i hope this makes sense because i've been searching for this title for years. I believe it was made in either the later 70s-80s. i think the cover had either a monkey or doll...i don't really remember, but i do think it was a black cover.

Thanx Alli, Vlad the Impala, ALNA70. Aug 25, 2006
I saw this movie kind of late I think on TV. I think it was around 1990-1994 when I seen the movie but it was an older film. It was in color i think but it was older maybe around the seventies. If I remember correctly it was either true or based on true stories I think that is why it scared me so bad but I could be wrong. It had like 3 different stories in the movie. One was something about a childs dog or something gets lost and the father or the child goes to look for it in some type of field. They find a large hole in the ground and they can hear the dog crying and barking. I think there are a couple of people standing around the whole to help and they tie a rope around the dad and lower him in the hole. They pull him up, (don't remember if they got the dog), but when they get him out of the hole he just takes off screaming and acting really strange. Whatever he saw down in that hole literally drove him insane.Another story had something to do with revenge I think. A few guys or bullies I guess beat up a boy at a pool hall or arcade or something.I think the boy was with a few of his friends and they dont do anything to help him. I think this is what happened, it may not even have anything to do with getting beat up I just remember that the boy dies and his friends don't help. Anyways at the boys funeral the mother of the boy comes up to his "friends" and says something about the number seven three times or something like that. Then the boys die one by one either every seven days or on the 7th day of the month, dont know for sure. I think one dies on a plane, I remember something about a plane. The last story I think was something like a boy is driving at night and comes up to a bridge. There is a girl standing on the bridge and he either gives her a ride or gets out and talks to her or something. I'm thinking he gave her a ride because I think after he drops her off she leaves a scarf or something in his car and somehow he knew where she lived and he goes to take whatever it was that she left back to her. Her parents answer the door and freak out because whatever he is giving back they knew it was the daughters and they tell him that she died in a car accident. I think that she had went off the bridge that he picked her up on and I think that whatever he is returning to them is something that she was buryed with. That's about all I can remember, I'm pretty sure that it was on regular tv, not on like HBO or something.

Sorry if this is vague, I haven't seen it in over 13 years. The movie I'm looking for was once played on USA: Up All Night in the late 80's. I've checked Wikipedia, but I can't remember the title and I don't think that list is 100% complete. The movie is in color and is about a girl that lives on either a small farm or in a cabin with her two brothers and her mother. The brothers harrass the girl and also I think the mother torments her as well. At one point I think the girl dumps water on herself from a bucket to cool down and one of her brothers is watching her from in/behind a tree. Eventually something happens and to keep them from killing her the girl has to kill her brothers and her mother.

I'm trying to find the name of a film that was aired in the early 1990's (could have been made in the 1980's, though) on the USA Channel. It was most likely part of the "Up All Night" block that aired on Saturdays, but may have been just another one of their B-list nightly films. It was about a boy who was on a vacation near a lake and was being haunted by the ghost of a dead woman. I remember the finale having something to do with the murderer being confronted by the ghost on a cliff, but that's about it. I keep thinking it was called "Lady in the Lake," but I've googled and IMDB'ed it, and none of the results are even close to what I remember.

It included some very cheesy shots like a blow up spider that inflated after one of the actors opened a dresser drawer. For a long time I thought the name was "Kingdom of the Spiders" but then I bought that movie and watched it and realized I had remembered the name of the movie wrong.
