A movie about either English or American man being imprisoned in Soviet labor camp, I believe he had an affair with a nurse. At the end he was about to be transferred to Kolyma gulag camp and either commited suicide or got shot by guards.

There was a plot involving a man singing in the shower in To Rome With Love, but everything else is unrelated. Found a couple of lists that fit the time period, but nothing stands out at a glance (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls082745239, https://www.imdb.com/list/ls082745147).

This is an extremely old childhood memory for me, and it might have been a TV show or a movie. I remember seeing it in the 80s or very early 90s. A scene with a woman using a hand mirror reflecting a light into the eyes of a guy. Maybe bewitching him or something. A scene with the same two in a woodshop. He's saying, "I'll love you forever." She says, "Til you die?" "Yes." "Then die!" She pushes him into a table saw. A very similarly structured scene with a different much older woman and man in a city alley. She does the mirror thing on him too, and the "til you die?" conversation, but she kills him by dropping a fire escape ladder on him. I don't remember any actual gore. And I remember it being on at my grandparents' house.

The era and vibe seems right from the trailer but the plot synopsis is missing anything about the mirror and the table saw murder.

I have this distinct memory as a kid of catching part of what was either a TV movie or an episode of a series on the scifi channel (I will never call it "syfy" gently caress you nbc universal) in the early/mid aughts what I remember is a handful of human characters, maybe 5 or less, either stranded on a seemingly-uninhabited planet (which looked suspiciously like coastal california) or being the only survivors in some kind of post-apocalypse. what I remember very clearly is that a bunch of these characters, for some reason, keep going into this strange structure and looking either up or down into an alien-looking shaft. the camera holds on a straight-on pov shot of the shaft, and returns to this shot multiple times throughout the movie/episode. at first the end of the shaft is pitch black. then they come back and it lights up, as if there's some bright white firey light at the end. they keep checking it over time and the light keeps building and getting closer, creating tension. for some reason, I remember my child brain thinking whatever was at the end of the shaft was supposed to be alive. that's all I got

I'm looking for a film that I read the blurb on the back of the DVD cover about twenty years ago. The film is a sci-fi alien invasion film from between the 50s and the 70s, similar to The Day The Earth Stood Still. The plot had a mother and adult son on a camping trip in a national park but the mother was trying to seduce her son. It was a completely out of left-field twist. While this is going on, a meteor or alien ship landed on Earth and chaos ensued. It's probably a low budget monster movie from around that time because I remember the DVD case being similar to a bunch of other sci-fi films on the shelf, so maybe a company got the distribution rights to a bunch of schlocky horror.

Can someone possibly help me identify something within a film? In Brain Damage (1988) does anyone know what station the mc gets on the subway at near the end of the film? I can't figure it out.

Looking for a couple of movies, I’ve tried the usual looking up plot points so hopefully y’all can help me get these out of my brain… 1st was approx 2001-2ish. I watched it on the Canadian channel Movie Central around that time. The main character was a serial killer and/or a vampire? The opening shot was him carrying a plastic wrapped body into the ocean. He seduced another woman, and that’s where you see the vampire side maybe? That’s all I have to go off of  2nd was watched approx 2001-2005 but I’m pretty sure was a dvd rental, so no idea of age. Also involved a serial killer, who strapped people to blocks of ice before killing them? In some kind of abandoned looking warehouse in the woods. The female lead cop/ detective ended up getting captured near the end. Sorry there’s not much more info but this thread has helped me before

I have vague memories of watching this on late-night TV in probably the very early 90s, possibly late 80s. In my head it was an Elvira's Movie Macabre or something similar, where Elvira intro'd the movie. It was set on Halloween, and there were kids that attacked adults. I remember the kids having what looked like scary teeth, and when they attacked the movie had kind of a...florescent effect? Like, turned (or was) black and white but got kind of flashy and strobe-y, accentuating the weirdness of the kids and especially their mouths. Yeah, I know, this was a vague one, but it's been stuck in my head for decades at this point.

Two yokels are excited to settle in to a big country breakfast. Yokel A says something to the effect of "Mmm-mmm! Scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy and hominy grits!" Yokel B (a Tim Blake Nelson type) glances at the grits and goes "Oh, I'd say there's at least a few thousand of 'em."

someone (maybe a kid) has some kind of psychic/premonition powers and talks about being afraid of feathers. Then later in the movie a bullet rips through their empty bed and blows the feathers out of their pillow.

Saw a trailer for a Japanese (possibly Korean?) thriller recently that was either a re-release or had heavy 80s styling. One of the last shots is of a man in a cold river seemingly trying to escape from a pursuer on the shore, ducking under the water. Had a dark and moody tone and the trailer is edited really energetically. Wasn't Evil Does Not Exist. Any help? Edit: 0-for-2 on the country, it's Chinese apparently. That's embarassing. Only The River Flows, looks cool as hell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7xjIjxYqjc morestuff fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Apr 10, 2025 |

I didn't want to put this in the GBS 'White Whale' thread because it felt a bit too spoiler-y: Watching Donnie Darko for the first time reminded me of a similar film, a horror movie, from the early to mid 2000s. It had to do with someone who was supposed to die but didn't, and the movie involves this person narrowly eluding death's attempts to correct the mistake by setting up scenarios for the character to be killed. I want to say this movie came out in approximately the 2005-2009ish range.

It's definitely not Butterfly Effect or Open Graves, though both are really interesting movies I've added to my "bucket list". It might be Final Destination; that's closer to the movie trailer I'm remembering in my head, though it's 4-5 years earlier than when I thought this movie came out.
