Result: Too Scared To Scream (1985) Thanx RomanyX. Nov 22, 2008
I am not sure if this movie is about a bellboy, bellhop, or a door man, but I can't seem to get this movie out of my head. I probably saw this movie in the late 80's or early 90's, but it could have been made in the 70's. All I can remember is that the people staying in the hotel or living in the apartment building were getting killed. The man in the uniform (bellboy?) was the killer. In one scene he hid under a bed, and when an old woman put her feet on the floor to put her slippers on, he cut off her feet. I can also remember one scene where a woman's body was found chopped up into pieces and put into a washer or dryer.

There is a movie from the 1960's - I don't remember any of the actors or actresses in the movie - but it is a comedy. It's about a family with two daughters and sometime at the beginning of the movie it shows the older daughter being seen by her father running around the pool in a bathing suit with a bunch of boys. The movie is about the father coming to terms with his daughter's "growing up." At the end of the movie, the father has finally come to terms with his older daughter growing up when he sees his younger daughter in the same type of pool scene.

I saw a film earlier this year (2008), only a few months back on SBS (a free to air channel here in Australia) and forgot the name before I wrote it down.Four guys were sharing an old stone prison cell. A gay couple (one had boobs and the other had frequent trips to solitary or the psych ward), an older guy who could read but chose not to for some reason and the main character who kept a photo of his son and his sons GI Joe/action figure around to remember him. They find a grimoire in the cell written in latin(?). Older guy ends up reading it after much persuasion and they use it to try and escape from the cell because according to the older dude the guy who wrote the grimoire had successfully escaped from their cell. Another man visits them with a video camera. When they ask about him apparently he never existed, they hide the camera and use it to record themselves and what happens.The one who visits the psych ward/solitary walks over to a wall and puts his hands into the wall. When he takes them out he is missing his hands (may have just been his fingers) and is left with clean stumps. Later he gets lifted off the ground by some force and is twisted up and killed before being dropped. The remaining 3 walk through the wall and are trapped in some doorless cell that no one knows about. The one with boobs thought the book could do something for him (maybe bring his partner back?) and tries a spell but he dies. Main character questions why he died and the old guy says it because the book knew he wasn't a real female.Something happens to the old guy and he blisters with all the knowledge in the world and this kills him. Movie ends with the main character still trying to escape and wanting nothing but to watch over his son. It cuts to the son in the car with his mother after picking up the fathers belongings from the prison and the action figures eyes morph and become real and those of the man.I think it was a french movie possibly with subtitles.

I saw this movie sometime in the 1980's I remember bits here and there about the plot. A gang kidnaps a little girl and is raised by the gang. The gang again encounters the family years later with the girl grown up. I remember that she has a necklace that was given to her by her father.
Result: As You Like It (2006) (Kenneth Branaugh) Thanx VideoKid. Nov 25, 2008
I think I watched it last year 2007, in the summer, but I do not know when it was made. I thought I had it through Netflix, but I looked at my entire rental history and did not see it. I cannot for the life of me remember the name or who is in it. I thought it was done by Kenneth Branagh, since I was thinking it was a very interesting remake (interpretation) of a Shakespeare tale. Now I am not so sure. I DO think that there was something of that kind of feel to the movie. I remember a scene at the beginning where there is either a Chinese or Japanese kind of drama going on.or else it is that a son has to fight a cousin or a warrior or something.and the father/uncle is watching. It is all dark. The father is some kind of big shot, I think. His brother, I think, is evil and comes to usurp his power, with a group of others. The father must flee to the woods and his daughter and niece, I think, come too, along with a group of other loyal friends/servants. As in Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing, there is someone Black who plays the brother of a White person, I think. I do remember there is a Black guy whose character is really good, but he is looking for someone or something. I seem to remember him in the dark arriving somewhere with lights around--candles?--outside. Now the group of "good guys" had fled to the woods/outdoors to live while the evil usurper of power brother is in the regular dwelling. It isn't like they are in a thick wood, as much as they are living outside. While they are living in the woods, there is one guy, I think who finds them accidentally and I think maybe he falls in love with the daughter or niece. I seem to remember something with trees, God help me! And at the end, I know that everything turns out that the brother (the evil usurper) is gone, or has died, or has given up the power.and there is a wedding that reminds me of the scene in Much Ado About Nothing (Branagh's version) where they are all waving colorful strips of fabric while dancing. This is a circle of the wedding party, I seem to recall, very colorful scene, happy, everyone joining in. What I remember thinking is that it was really interesting that the director made the scene about the brother taking possession of the land into an Asian kind of scene, which was not in the original (play? book? story?). So it sort of gave this interesting Asian twist on the whole movie that was not in the least Asian based in its original form.

I saw a film a few years ago, a woman was held captive by her controlling psycho partner. I think she was some kind of lab technician as she poisoned him in order to escape. It was an apartment building and he was soundproofing the walls with matresses. It was in color on tv. possibly made in the 90's the film originally starts when he walks through the door to find his last captive partner drownd in the tub.

I'm looking for a horror film from around 1983 ish. A couple have just moved into a new, old fashioned looking flat. The woman is uneasy from the moment she moves in but the man is happy. There is a big mirror in the living room. The woman starts seeing flashbacks to the previous residents and what the flat looked like when they were there. These flashbacks through the mirror become more and more frequent and lengthy. Towards the end of the film the woman 'sees' the previous resident murder his wife in the bath. The actor may be Alan Bates, or looks quite like him. The culmination of the film is that the woman can't seem to get back from the past into the present. It was very scarey at the time!

At some point a teenage girl (friend of the family?)is at the home as well. The father and this girl end up having a fling. It was in color and had subtitles. I think it was actually shown in a regular theater, not an art theater.

I believe the movie was on Lifetime or Lifetime Movie Network, in color. It's about a woman who, I believe, is a famous actress, but is dying. She goes back to her hometown, which she left as a teenager after she was raped (?). her best friend is a Native American male who protects her as she is dying either in the house she grew up in or her best friends house. She's being plagued by someone (I really can't remember, maybe the old boyfriend who raped her) and her best friend and his tribe protect her and her land. At the end she finds all the letters she wrote to her best friend while she was away unopened. She then realizes that he died the night she left, her old boyfriend and his friends beat him to death, and that it was his spirit that has been taking care of her.

It was a color, animated film I saw in or around 1996-1999. I was young and can't remember if it was on TV or VHS, but I definitely didn't see it in theatres. For a kid's film it was pretty dark and I can only remember bits and pieces. There was a man, and he was a peasent and being held prisoner or something in this giant castle. I remember it taking place in some faraway land that reminded me of "Aladdin." Anyways, he's being held in this castle and escapes but there's this mad chase for him through the castle and it's an odd castle with a room full of stairs, and other weird obstacles. There was not a lot of dialogue and for some reason I remember him having a love interest and there being a shiny, glowing, white ball kind of like a pearl.

Thanx MystMoonstruck, RomanyX, carl. Nov 28, 2008
This movie I saw around the mid 90's, but it looked like an 80's style movie. It was about a group of people who bribe a janitor to let them use a bowling lane after hours. They are in this bowling alley and basically plan on using the place to have sex. It ends up somehow that there are these small creatures kind of like critters or gremlins and they start killing people off and finally the teens start to realize they are in danger and so they try to hide and they get the old janitor to try to help them but he dies too. I remember there is full frontal nudity in it as well. I was so sure the name of the movie was something like "18 bowling lane (something)".

I am looking for a film that was on T.V. It was based on a true story. It must have been on about the early 90's or so. It was about these people that robbed a store, tied up the employees and made then drink, I think, either ammonia or draino. After that, they were all shot in the head. But one of them survived and was paralized and this movie was about his story to walk again and accept his high school diploma standing up.

I saw a film a long time ago, in the 60's I think. I thought that the name of the film was "misunderstood". Set in Europe (Switzerland?) about a father whose wife had died, leaving him with two young boys. All he had to remember his wife by was a voice recording on a very primitive reel to reel tape recorder. The youngest of the two boys was always in trouble and "misundersttod". One day, wanting to hear his mother's voice, he played the machine and inadvertently erased the recording!

When I was in 5th grade (1996-ish) my teacher showed us this film. The basic premise was this little girl who goes to this big mansion (I can't remember the original reason) and the owner who is this man who is pretty much a hermit and stays away from the outside world, maybe because he's ugly, I don't quite remember, anyway, he teaches her to sing really well. She ends up going to a competition and during one of her songs while she's singing it shows people breaking into the house and beating the man to near death because they think he's had something going on with this girl.

Result: The Sword And The Sorcerer (1982) Starring Lee Horsley, Kathleen Beller, Richard Moll and Richard Lynch. Thanx Jeremy. Nov 11, 2008
This is a late 80's to mid nineties movie I think. The only scene I remember is what I believe is a sacrifice/ritual killing scene. A woman is tied down to the ground and she is screaming. A group of other people are around that are in a cult that could summon some power to destroy the person tied down by disintegrating and turning the woman into a rock/meteor type looking thing that looked very hot and was smoking after people become it or maybe they just melted. I also think that they did this to multiple women throughout the movie. And while the one woman was being melted/disintegrated, there may have been a guy or girl that cared about the woman that was watching from a distance who wanted to save her but couldn't because they would be caught and killed too. The woman being sacrificed was wearing a robe dress. Maybe it was a might and magic or fantasy adventure type of movie, or satanic cult type movie. This movie is NOT the following:spellbinder, invitation to hell(1984), invitation to hell(1982), beastmaster, race with the devil. The movie could be one of these: disciple of death, satan's slave, to the devil a daughter, the devil's rain, the hidan of maukbeianhjow, the warrior and the sorceress, los sorceress barbaros (the devils advocate).

I saw this movie on TV or video rental sometime in the mid 90's and I suspect the movie was made in the late 80's, and in color. The plot was that the government sends convicts to an island. I think they did this because prisons were over crowded, but it might just be because they did not want to deal with these terribly violent criminals. So there are lots of convicts on the island and i think there are big forts and there are different tribes and they have wars and its really awesome and crazy. Also convicts can't escape the island by building a boat because the govt will blow them up, but they still try to escape by floating off in a cacoon with no motor or anything and just try to slip under the radar. At one point in the movie someone tries this and the convicts that are watching from the island begin to celebrate because the cacoon doesnt get blown up. but then it blows up. There are black and white characters and i think the hot chick is hispanic.

I saw this movie on television but I don't think it was supposed to be a made-for-tv movie. I would say it was 80's (at the latest, early early 90's). I remember an older oriental man, with long white hair and long white beard/mustache with long fingernails (maybe just the pinky ones?). I believe he was one of the bad guys. The scene I remember most is in a brightly lit, large room, and this white-haired guy is on something like a stage. I think I remember a young woman who seems to be under his spell. I think he uses a really long needle on his finger/hand for some reason. There is a large crowd in this room, watching, and everyone is wearing very weird clothes. I believe there is young man who is trying to save the young woman. In this film I believe there are multiple dimensions/worlds that you can go through.
Result: The Good Son (1993) Thanx goblyn. Nov 10, 2008
This movie came out some time in the early to mid-80's. It's about a disturbed young boy who feels jealousy and resentment toward his younger brother. One day they go out in a row boat and the older brother dares the younger to swim without a life jacket. The young boy jumps into the water and starts to drown. The older brother watches while his younger brother is struggling. Eventually, the older brother throws the life jacket just as his brother goes under the water. Eventually there's some sort of investigation about the older brother and some things are revealed about him. I know at one point there is a reference about killing a family pet.

It was made in the 80's (I'm pretty sure) It either starts off or ends with a red ball bouncing down some basement stairs. Stairs you could access from the outside. (I think) I know there is a little blonde haired girl that might go after the ball but not sure. I think the little girls family is packing up and moving. I remember an older lady with long greyish hair that she keeps in a loose bun. I remember a part where the older lady takes her hair out of the bun. It seems like she was getting younger somehow.I hope I'm not confusing two different movies!

I would say this film was shot between 1970 and 1985 probably. All I remember is that a man either : A. Committed a crime or B. Didn't commit the crime, but was going to be punished for it regardless, because no one would believe him. To hide from the authorities, he took the stuffing out of a Scarecrow and hid inside it. I remember the image of him inside the lone scarecrow out in the middle of a field. I also remember that it was in farming country.and the law enforcement after him were more like stereotypical "good ole' boys."I also remember another movie that had criminals dressed in animal costumes and hiding in the woods. I remember one was dressed as a rabbit and they had kidnapped children. I'm not certain, but it could have been the same movie.Thank you for your time.

i watched this movie when i was 5ish, so back in the 1990's. it starts out with a grandfather telling his grandson about this monster that lives in this cave (i think in the north pole) on christmas eve. His sister is in the room and his mother enters shortly after the story starts. the story goes (to what i can remember) if you call this monsters' name X amount of times it will come down and kill your family. so the mother yells at the grandfather for the story and proceeds to keep knitting in her chair. he's sitting by her in another chair (table seperating them) a fire place is behind them, the daughter is poking at the fire place. she begs her brother not to say the creatures name. He does and in the background you can her the crunching of snow as the monster gets closer. then it stops and the two windows that are behind the mom and grandfather are broken through by two hairy white monster hands. they come through and stick a huge finger nails into the mom and grandfather. the girl is still by the fire place screaming and standing between the two hands and then they go back out the window.

movie from the 70s or 80s. Here's the plot points I remember:- A bunch of couples are staying in a mansion together.- Every guest at the mansion has to wear a ring. Later on in the movie, the characters discover that they cannot remove the rings.- At one point, the protagonist couple tries to escape the mansion by driving away, but they discover that as they keep driving, they just go in circles and end up back at the mansion.- One scene involves one of the female guests swimming in an indoor pool. She dives down and then as she tries to surface for air, she discovers she cannot break the surface, as if some invisible barrier is keeping her from getting her head over the water. She looks up with her last breath and sees a blurry figure standing on the pool edge.- Another scene involves the protagonist couple, where the shower suddenly becomes blistering hot.

I believe my husband and I rented this movie around 2004 - 2006. It may have come out around the same time as High Tension. It was about 3-4 20-somethings that were driving somewhere together when their car broke down (or maybe they stopped and it wouldn't restart). A guy comes along and offers to take them back to his "camp" (maybe tow their car, too?). They hang out around a campfire. He feeds them (I think) and drugs them. When one girl wakes up, she's in some room or something and he's basically killing them one at a time. She breaks out and tries to rescue all her friends. I remember, at one point, he has another girl in his garage, tied up, and is about to kill her when the other girl comes to save her.

i'm trying to figure this movie out, and i don't remember much of it, even though i just saw it a couple months ago. i have armstrong digital cable and saw it on demand. from what i could remember of the movie, a kid when he was young had a crush on a girl they hung out rode bikes together and what not. the girl when home and another kid (the bully) was watching her walk inside. at some point the kid and the bully got into a fight, and the kid locked the bully in a cell, and left him to die there. now the part that's kind of hazy, the kid is all grown up now, and the man who was locked in the cellar got out and wants the other guy (kid who locked him in the cellar) to tell the world what he did. the movie ends with the man, another lady and the killer comming after him, all being in a basement, when the female cop arrives she sees only the man, playing the parts of the other 2 that were supposed to be with him. so the whole time he was crazy. and the last seen was the man at a mental hospital talking to the female cop.

I saw a horror film in 1992 (a Hollywood one, I think), on TV. The action takes place in a train, with a lot of passengers and the train was continuously running. A man killed a lot of people only by putting a hand on the victim's face (mouth). A lot of blood was comming out from the nose, ears and eyes. At the end of the movie, the carriage with the killer runs off the track and he dies.

This was most likely a Hammer Horror movie from the early 1970s. It begins with a woman sitting in an upscale English garden at an outdoor table rolling her wedding ring back and forth. I think nearby someone is pruning red roses.The plot involves a man trying to make his wife go crazy, setting up one horrific encounter after another in the big house. Bodies popping out of cupboards etc.It was very 'stylish' in that cheesy way most Hammer Horror films were from the period - it had some psychedelic aspects to it as well - am I mad or am I not mad type scenario.

All I can remember about this film is a man (I think Simon) lies in a hospital bed, seemingly paralyzed or in a waking-coma. He uses him mind to torment and kill people. I believe the film was made in the 70's, but I can't be certain. I recall a nurse being involved in the story as well, but I don't remember what the relationship was. I think he was killing her suitors or something like that.

I remember watching this tv show when i was a younger kid (late 80's to mid 90's) It was a color show and I recall the plot being that there was a school pool that was abandoned and the entrances were blocked off by a locked door that never opened. the school built another pool. the kids that found it uncovered a plot that a young person died there, and that anybody that swam in the pool afterward were drug under and drowned by the spirit. One kid swam and escaped the spirit and angered it. The spirit left the pool and turned into a skeleton that walked after the kid. The kid then ran into a room where he confronted the spirits skeleton and burnt it with some form of acid.

I saw it on TV awhile ago (6 or 7 years?) anyway and I got the tail end of it but it looked scary. The parts I caught were a scene where a teenage man is trapped in a room with a girl wearing a lettermans jacket and underwear, there are bloody hand prints all over the walls and stereo playing. She seems to be seducing him and preparing to kill him, he punches her which doesn't do anything but amuse her in the end she is approching him but he manages to stick a cord from the stereo in her mouth so she is electrocuted and diesFollowing that scene we see a woman (I can only assume it's his mother from he dialouge) in a room after a bit of time she smashes the wall(s) and find giant gears like the inner workings of a clock behind them, afters some dialouge (I believe she smashes the gears) we see a fog and then her son is there as a baby (which I assume he was at the begining of the film) I got the impression were looking at a late 80's early 90's time frame

I recall seeing this COLOR movie back in the mid-1970's, most likely. Perhaps the same era as Vanishing Point, I have that as a reference for some reason. Anyway, all I can remember is that it involved a girl (I believe) chained in the loft of a barn (red barn?) and obviously she was there for a long time. I recall her grunting and groaning, not actually able to speak words, so I'm thinking that she was perhaps a mentally challenged person that the family chained in the loft. I recall a car pulling up underneath the loft (it was either the kind of overhanging loft that many gas stations have, or the car just pulled up along side the barn or building) and she was dragging her chain around making noises. The scene was dusty and dry - a summer/fall day with the sun blazing and dust in the air from the car pulling up. I recall this movie giving me the willies but I can't recall anything else about it.

I saw movie I think it had to be after 2000 and it was about a man who grew up to work for a bank or as law clerk and lived with his mother who was really quiet, terse, very with-holding--she showed him no real affection. His mom was the maid for his father, a rich quiet, terse man, and one random day they make love and she gets pregnant and quits and refuses to accept any money or support from the dad. The boy grows up without the dad in his life, even though they live in the same town and both know they are related. The boy spends his whole life trying to be successful so he can show off to his dad and he meets a girl he loves but he's afraid to introduce her to his mom so she marries someone else. He has the opportunity to kill his dad, but he doesn't. At the end of the film, his mom and he are walking through the park and he sees the girl he loved and his mom says something to the effect of "you should have married her."the movie is foreign but I think it's dutch or german and in color and I think the title is just a single word but I could be wrong.

They seem to be there for a cricket tournament if I can remember. Something is said about this woman, and one guy nicknamed birdie bets the rest he can spend the night with this woman. Birdie never has done this before. Along with the english accents and all it was quite funny. I do remember a part where he is heading back home, (after they had argued during the evening/early morning) on a train and sees her face on a billboard which sends him back to her flat and he spends the night realizing he has fallen for her. Seemed like (1950's to 1960's Black and white)

I think her husband took her there because she was crazy or sick or something.

i am looking for the movie based on the book "silver rose" by david a. kaufelt. i know it exist, but i have been searching for ages now and cant find it any where. maybe the movie has a different name than the book. on the cover of the book, it looks a lot like the actors "cybill shepherd" and "robert redford", but i am not 100% sure. i also think that the movie is from the '80 but not for sure.the plot:silver rose by david a kaufelt. a painful and romantic novel set mostly in berlin and paris, 1938, about a man who refused to be cowed by the possibilities of evil and of his daughter torn by the impossiblities of love, when she falls into the protective arms of a man whose impeccable german pedigree and impregnable standing in the nazi party afford her an otherwise unattainable degree of security. silver rose is an unforgettable portrait of a man and a woman caught up in the maelstrom of thier times.

I am looking for the name of a film I saw in the mid 1980s. We were shown it in school, so it must have been a children's film. I think it was in colour. All I can remember is a part where two children, a boy and a girl, are being chased (possibly through a forest) by a tall man with blond hair who is wearing a white suit. They are hiding from him in a type of quarry. He is turning around on the spot with his arm outstretched and his finger pointed. He sees them but I can't remember what happened after that. There is possibly a spaceship in this film but i can't be sure.

The only part i remember was this detective was obviously trying to capture this guy but someone else was after them as well. So he caught the guy and handcuffed him to himself and their car either broke down or went over a small cliff and the other guys were on their tail so they started running. they hoofed it to a small town and for some reason didnt have any money on them so they came up with this plan. they went into this restaurant and told the waitress they were undercover cops (keep in mind they are still handcuffed together) and they said they needed to inspect the money because some bad people had been passing counterfit money. so she gave him a stack of $20's and he looked through them and said, Yep all these are bad, and they took the money and left.

In the 80's I watched a movie on an old vcr tape. I guess my grandparents taped it off the tv. I dont know any of the actors, but it was about a family who hired a nanny to watch their 2 kids. One boy and one girl. I believe she already had some mental problems about a sister who had passed or that she had killed, not sure. She fell in love with the father and I believe they might have messed around, but then he came to his senses. Regardless still letting her stay at their house and keep after the kids. They were at the beach and at the end of the movie she takes the kids away on a small boat to kidnap them, and the parents go looking for them, I believe she kills herself at the end of the movie. She was also very close to a necklace she always wore. So it possibly was made in the late 70's early 80's. I do remember on the same tape they also had recored, the Pee Wee movie.

I believe I watched this film as a kid and so it can't be anything after 2002 or so, but I watched it late at night on like channel four when they used to put on loads of good films. This film I would hazard the guess is a 80's/90's film and I don't remember if there were any famous actors in it though the male character of the love interest I keep relating his appearance to David Cronenenberg though it isn't him. This film begins on a boat, where an upper class part is being held I would say that it set approximately 40-60 years ago but could be very wrong. The film follows a journalist who in talking to people on this cruise find a couple, the male is paralised and can't walk. The couple tells the journalist about their relationship and so most of the film is about their story together and is a flashback. After being together the male decides that they should split up much to females despair and so she begs him to stay with her. He accepts but starts to do terrible things to her like letting her witness him having sex with other girls and calling out other girls names whilst he is having sex with her. Eventually they are going to travel in a plane somewhere but as the female gets on the male abandons her but is immediately involved in an accident and finds that he has been paralised. He is visited by the female when he is in hospital and is now dependant on her in order to live. She then uses this to her advantage and taunts him about his disablity allowing him to see her have sex with guys whilst he is reminded that he can not anymore. Throughout the film it reveals that the journalist isn't always talking to both of them. I had a sense that the journalist was attracted to the female. The film ends when the journalist is told to come back to their cabin where the female is seen to be with another guy whilst the male is watching them in a corner, the male and obviously the journalist are obviously awake, not the other two. After the two talk the male draws a gun and shoots the female, I can't recall if he kills her lover or leaves him frightened but he does then kill himself, leaving the journalist with their story and alive.

I'm looking for a zombie movie, problem is i can only remember the ending. It was early nineties.All i can remember of the ending is a boy and a girl luring the zombies into a swimming pool before turning the water into ice to trap the zombies, plus she lured them into the pool with a brain in her hand.I also remember there being a small zombie poodle right at the end too. I think an American teen tv actor starred in the film who had black curly hair.
