This has been the largest mystery of my life. I would be forever grateful if someone could help me out. I’ve been searching for the answer for going on 10 years now.
A movie I saw in the late 90s, possibly early 2000s. In color, USA, seemed like a drama mystery or thriller, possibly paranormal. I was young so I don’t have any plot just one scene.
A young woman is investigating or trying to solve some mystery that happened a long time ago. In the scene she is ripping wallpaper off the wall where she finds all of these writings on the wall. The writings came from a young boy who was chained to a bed. As she’s ripping the wallpaper it keeps flashing back to the boy writing on the wall in desperation as water is filling the room.
That’s all folks. Any help is appreciated.
The Cell (2000)?
Negative. I went home and jumped ahead every 30-60 seconds and it’s not it. I think the boy was trapped in a large room in like an old hospital, school or orphanage. Which doesn’t make sense if the room was filling with water. But the main part I remember is him writing all over the walls trying to leave a message behind. And the lady uncovers it by removing the wallpaper. And it keeps flashing back and forth rbrtween him and her.
Thank you though!
The Ring? It was a girl, but the scene sounds similar.
“In Dreams”(1999)
