1st Movie: American, English, in color (think it was even HD), saw it roughly 2006 on a movie channel (not HBO, was either encore/cinemax/starz) at roughly 3am and I believe the movie was either brand new or was recent (so early/mid 2000’s). I know it wasn’t part of a series because it had it’s own title, pretty sure it was a one word or two word title.
Very few details on what I remember: There was a dad with a teenage son and a young daughter, recently married the stepmom. They moved to a house that was kind of off a highway out in the open by itself (a lot of scenes took place in the kitchen which looked out the front of the house).
Things I know: Teenager didn’t like the stepmom but then ‘something’ happens where they don’t know what they’re doing and they make out then realize and stop. ‘Something’ makes them do it. Same something (don’t want to use the word possessed, or mind control but possibly either/both) makes the dad go crazy at the end of the movie and try to kill both of his kids.
Things I think I know: The dad and stepmom worked together as a lab. Either scientists or something. A sheriff visits them at their house more than once (and gets killed) because something at their work happened.
Not sure what genre to put it in, was sort of sci-fi, not really a full blown horror movie. Just a random late night b-movie.
2nd Movie: American, English, in color, saw it early 90’s (could have been from early 90’s but memory is telling me probably from the 80’s).
I only remember what I assume was the beginning/early movie scene. A dad and his son are at a roadside gas station (or restaurant) – maybe don’t pay for food or steal gas, were those types of people – and a mom and daughter sort of con-artist team are there also and steal the guys wallet or try to scam them in some way. Man isn’t fooled or catches her in the act or afterwards and confronts her. Whatever happens and the woman and daughter end up asking for and getting a ride from the man and son (two pairs of con-artists/scammers/thieves become one group?) but what I remember most is the teenage boy and girl were in the backseat and he fell asleep on her and when he woke up he had drooled all over her breasts. The mom and daughter did a lot of “leading on” of the man and boy but I can’t remember the rest of the movie after that, or if I even watched it further. [SOLVED!}
Thanks for any help.
#1 sounds like The Visit (2015) but the dates don’t fit.
Nope but that’s one of my favorite movies. #1 wasn’t a known movie, it was a random 3am at night movie that I never saw on the guide again, ha.
Forgot to say on #2 that I think I saw it on TBS or TNT, so possible “TV movie”.
i think #1 is Glass House: The Good Mother (2006)

That’s not it but good effort! Thanks! Movie I’m thinking of I doubt would even have a preview, probably not even on dvd and I’d even been surprised if it had an imdb page. It had the feel of a movie made for (insert movie channel, encore/etc).
To add: The teenage boy and stepmom not getting along wasn’t in the vein of wanting to kill eachother (and that didn’t happen in the movie), it was typical new mom kid doesn’t like her and they argue. Then whatever the sci-fi’ish cause was had them making out with eachother at one point before they broke out of their trance. Otherwise the dad, stepmom, teenager and little sister generally got along/were a family. It was other events causing things to happen and ultimately the end of the movie it was the dad who – not because he knew what he was doing (nor was he like Jack in The Shining) – was trying to kill everyone in the house.
Was #2 Dutch with Ed O’Neill? The drool scene rings familiar.
No idea but possible since I’m pretty sure the male and female were known actors, just not in a known movie, ha.
Just finished watching it, I was a bit off on my description/memory but YES! That is exactly the movie I was thinking of RadNat! Thanks!!
So we’re 50% solved here, Movie #2 is solved.
Movie #1 I know is way more off the radar so I was most doubtful about that but glad I finally figured out “Dutch”, was before I was born but definitely started remembering parts once I watched it tonight.
Thanks again, RadNat!
Thanks and congrats on your first Solve, RadNat! I’m editing the original post so people won’t keep guessing on that one.
I saw this short film on tv some years ago. It is old, looks like before 2000s. It is short, maybe less than 10 minutes. So in this movie a man arrives in a town with a van or something and goes to a bar to ask address or something where he is given something to drink. He then drives off but all the roads mysteriously take him to the same bar where he drinks again and again and later is brainwashed or something and stays in the town. Then the name board of town shown up the population number magically increases by one. I cant remember the name of movie. This movie looks similar to goosebumps style episodes with same color and all. Please help. Thnx in advance.
If anyone has the answer post it here: http://irememberthismovie.com/town-that-brainwash-visitors/
