Hi there! I’ve been wanting to find this film for many years now, sadly I don’t remember much of it… It’s si fi, and it features a group of people travelling on a space ship, possibly to other planets but I’m not too sure. At some point, the main character gets imprisoned or locked in a cell (on the ship), but then the others from the group get into trouble and are forced to temporarily release him if he agrees to help them solve the problem they’ve ran into. I remember that when they open the door of his cellar he’s very dirty and has grown a long, shabby beard, he looks haggard and angry. I also remember the ending of the film: the main character (the one who was imprisoned and grew that beard) speeds away on a ship into space with two women. He’s smiling, clean shaven and smug (possibly managed to trick and get away from the people who imprisoned him and then demanded his assistance).

Really sorry for the scant detail! It must have been around 2000-2004 when I watched it.

My grandparents had like 5 movies for us to watch as kids, and one of them was this claymation movie that I can’t seem to find the name of anywhere. It used to give me nightmares and still creeps me out.

So all I remember about the plot was that this man hypnotized this little girl and then stole her heart out of her chest. Then her mom sees her heart in a shop window and I think she buys it? And maybe they eat it for dinner? (That part may have been a false memory) I remember so clearly the girl’s swirly hypnotized eyes and that the guy was carrying a briefcase. Beyond that I think I blocked out the rest.

VHS, late 90s is when I saw it, color, claymation, creepy.

if you can help me find this I would be so appreciative. It’s killing me not knowing… I want to see it again and ease my mind because I’m sure it can’t be as creepy as I remember.
