Dreamcore-like movie from aproximately 2018

Really feel like I might’ve just dreamt this movie up, as no one ever knows what I’m talking about when I mention it, and I can’t find it anywhere, so here goes nothing:

I watched this movie during the pandemic, back when I was really into the dreamcore/weirdcore aesthetic, circa 2021. So, I found this post on tiktok recommending it and I went to check it out on soap2day. It’s about this girl who’s sent to this institute by her parents. At first glance, everything seems to be normal. Idyllic, even. The place is gorgeous. It’s got this koi pond with water lilies, gardens with bushes shaped like animals (ie. a bunnie), but the downside is, it’s right by the sea. A 1000 ft drop. So, pretty much no way of escape. This scene plays a very important part on setting up a later scene. Worth mentioning that the quote, unquote “institute” is ran by this woman, blonde, kind of ambiguous authority figure.

Then, the mc starts noticing stuff. For example, every student there is happy-go-lucky all the time, there are robots that act as sentinels during nightime, etc. There’s even one particular scene where the protag and this girl try to sneak out at nightime (it’s worth noting that the girls and boys are separated, so they escape from the all girls room), once everyone’s asleep. There’s this really weird, retro-futuristic vibe to this movie. It’s one of those movies where they mix up old-timey stuff with new things. I think it’s even mentioned in a scene that this movie takes place somewhere in the 2060s.

There’s also a scene where a girl gets trapped by a sentient (??) rose bush, in a very gruesome way. The horror element is very present in this movie.

Then near the end, the protag tries to escape with a group of other students, and does succeed, but some die on the way. Then, in the end, there’s a scene  where she seduces a man at a party to kill him, finally running off into the widerness, most specifically a forest, to live freely. She wears a green hooded cloak. Also quite important that the girl falls in love with a boy and a girl at the same time.

Please, if this description rings a bell, tell me. I really feel like this movie was just a fever dream of mine. I don’t wanna feel like I’m going crazy :'(

Two young people driving in the desert in a strange dystopian world

I think I saw this movie at least 10 years ago, maybe more. I think it was in color.

The dialogue was all in English, with American actors.

A young actor like Christian Slater co-stars with an young woman driving in the desert. In a particularly memorable scene, they stop for gas. She drives off with gas nozzle still in her car which rips it off the gas pump. She returns to the gas station to fill out some forms. The gas station attendant asks “What were you thinking about?” and has her write it down. Much later, it turns out that she is actually in a coma and her experiences in this place are not real. It has some dark humor. Most of the scenes take place in her coma-delusion, in a strange depopulated, somewhat dystopian world. This takes place in current time, not the future. The dark humor was particularly funny and off-beat. Most of the people she meets in this somewhat dystopian world seems unaware of what seems to be happening to them and around them. For most of the movie, neither she nor the audience is aware she is in a coma. This was all live action, not animated. There were little if any horror elements. The humor was quite dry and quite extensive throughout the movie. I think that the young man and the young woman driving through the desert or wasteland did not know each other until they met in this coma-world. He might have been a hitchhiker she picked up along the way. Gradually, a love blossoms between them. Neither we (as the audience) nor the female protagonist are made aware she is in a coma until near the end of the movie. We know for sure she was in a coma because she awakens from her coma at the end in the hospital.  The main characters were young and quite likeable. It was a haunting and thought provoking movie, though funny and never preachy.

Looking for a movie with a Wolverine-like man fighting an old man inside a giant iron suit

In a building located in a snowy and cold place, there was a man who looked like Wolverine (Logan). In fact, he looked very similar to Hugh Jackman. He was fighting a giant iron monster or suit. Inside this iron suit, there was an old Black man.

 

They fought each other, and at one point, the iron giant grabbed the hands of the Wolverine-like character. Then, some needles or spikes came out of the giant’s hands and pierced into the man’s hand bones. After that, the Wolverine-like man started aging quickly, while the old Black man inside the iron suit became younger.

 

Then, a woman entered the scene and attacked the man inside the iron suit. The old man said something like, “What are you doing? I’m your grandfather!” The woman replied, “No, I buried my grandfather.” Then, she defeated the iron giant, and the Wolverine-like man was saved.

 

(Of course, I’m not sure if it was really Wolverine, but he looked a lot like Hugh Jackman to me.)

 

(Also, by “iron giant,” I mean a large mechanical or armored suit, similar to old knight armor but much bigger in size.)

 

I probably watched this movie around 2015, on TV, and it was dubbed in Persian (Farsi).

 

The characters were live-action, not animated.

 

It might be an American movie, possibly related to superheroes or science fiction.

 

I only remember the ending scene described above.

Animated Fantasy Film – Girl Accidentally Shot with Crossbow on Bridge, Only Remember This Scene 

Hi everyone! I’m trying to find an animated movie I saw as a kid, and I only remember one scene from it. I’m hoping someone can help me identify it.

 

It’s an animated fantasy film, probably from the 80s or 90s, with a 2D animation style similar to the last unicorn. I saw it with a German dub.

 

The scene I remember might be at the end of the film, where a girl (human) and a group of characters, who were probably dwarves or similar beings, are crossing a bridge over a river. During this scene, one of the group members accidentally shoots the girl in the chest or abdomen with a crossbow. After she’s shot, she falls down, and the person who shot her is crying. I don’t remember much else about the movie, I just remember this specific scene clearly.

 

Does anyone recognize this film? Any help would be appreciated!

British movie about an invislble creature

It’s in color, probably from the early 2000’s.  It’s in English and I saw it on TV. It takes pace at a military base that is mostly underground. The soldiers wear white T-shirts. They have an invisible creature inside a kind of electronic cage. The only woman present is (I think) a reporter, A man with white hair arrives and disapproves of the project. The invisible creature escapes and makes somebody dance and then kills he white haired man by making parts of his body disappear. It then escapes outside and bounces a ball along the ground as it leaves. The woman also escapes outside but is captured by the base commander and put inside the electronic cage. He then kills her and what I guess is her soul rises from her body but cannot leave the enclosure.

John Wayne, caves in desert. Bats

I saw this on TV several times in the ’70s. My memory says it was black and white. There may have been treasure to be found. I remember some caves with the skeleton and some bats. I remember one specific line from John Wayne, he finds a Bible, apparently there is a clue for him there because he looks at it and notices it and opens it and says..” it’s the only dog-eared page in the book. “I liked the feeling of this movie. There is also a woman, and there is traveling at night in the hard desert with a can of peaches for survival. I hope I’m not remembering two separate movies.

an animated movie about a kidnapped girl

I watched it when I was a child (I’m 21) so I think it’s been made before 2010. I watched it in Polish, but it was dubbed and I think it was from US, but not sure about that. It was an animated movie, most likely 2d.

The story was about a girl from a rich home, who was kidnapped by 2 men but later escaped and they chased her. There was probably an evil relative who wanted her gone. Her father (i guess – don’t remember exactly) put her photo and personal information on milk cartons. I think there was also a scene in/next to a place similar to a lunapark, with a feris wheel. And there was a chase scene on river (?), like, she and the kidnapers were riding rafts or sth.

That’s all I remember.

80’s B Movie

The movie came out in the early 80s.  Set in 1980s California.  American or Canadian.  2 young men are house sitting for a producer or director. They decide to impersonate him and hold a casting call at the house.  Many young women show up for the fake casting call.  A guy who is gay shows up who was hired unseen as an assistant shows up believing one of them to be the director.   In part of the plot they discover some type of gangsters are after the director and they go after the young man impersonating the director.  The head assassin is voluptuous femme fatale.  The assistant ends in a sword fight with her, slowly picking off pieces of clothing.  When he disrobes her he says something to the effect of “At times like this, I wish I were a lesbian.”

A memory that doesn’t go away, but isn’t fully present

Around 1992, I watched a movie in elementary school. I don't remember much about it. 
Only that the main character was a boy of about 7 or 8 years old, and that in most of the scenes he wore a classic school uniform, like from the 1940s or 1950s. 
The only scene I really remember is a fair, maybe it was a traveling fair, and in it there was an old man who put on a show where he sang a song about what it was like to have three legs, and during the performance, he wore a fake leg. 
The scene is only about three minutes long, but it's the only thing I remember. 
The movie was in color, but it didn't seem like it was new at the time. Maybe it was from the 60s, 70s or 80s. 
I apologize for not having more information, but I really don't remember.

Silent movie (I think animated, cgi) about an insect

Due to its quality, I think it may be from 2005 upwards, although the date I saw it is somewhere from 2015-2019

This film was broadcast on a cartoon channel (Possibly Cartoon Network) (I’m from Mexico). It was broadcast twice in a week, after that I never saw it again.

The film has no dialogues, had ambient sounds and a soundtrack but not a single word.

It was in color.

The film started with a couple of real actors eating at a picnic without any dialogue, then they left in a red car and that was where the camera focused on the protagonist an insect (I don’t remember if an ant or ladybug) who came to eat the leftovers from that picnic, but for reasons I don’t remember I end up in a river and after a survival scene, I end up being adopted by a troop of ants, and after a while she has to search I think matches to save her ant friends from other red ants that they want to invade them, the film was the journey that this insect took.

I don’t remember much, I never finished seeing her because she was boring and long, and now that I remember her a few days ago I can’t find her.

Main character being shot in upper body and a round piece of the t-shirt is missing in the wound

Hi!
I have had this very specific scene in mind for some days and I need to find peace.

I don’t remember if it was a moive or a tv show. The cast was American for sure, I’m sure it’s something produced between 2005 and 2019.

The main character was male. He was something tough, like ex military. I think he was blondish.
He got shot in the upper body (either shoulder or side of the abdomen) and need to retrieve the bullet.
The scene is set in a random room, definitly not a hospital, the operation is improvides, everything is done with bare hands and some tweezers, a lot of blood spilled.
He or somebody else ( if it was somebody else it was someone close, not a random stranger) manages to retrieve the bullet and here comes the part that obsesses me: he/they put particular attention to retrieving also a small round piece of fabric that the bullet lodged in the wound. It is showed that the T-shirt the main character was wearing when he was shot is layed next to the character with the bullet hole very visible. He/they position the piece of fabric retrieved from the wound on the hole and find out that it’s a perfect match. Big sight of relief and I think the main character passes out.
I remember the t-shirt being a short sleeved one, some shade of gray.

I know it’s pratically nothing to work on but I still have hope somebody can remember it too!

Horror movie laboratory

I am looking for a movie which stars into a laboratory with a doctor or scientist or something like that who runs into an elevator, a woman after him and after them is running a creature made by this doctor.

The doctor gets inside the elevator and leave behind the woman who gets killed by the creature.

Thanks a lot.

young boy-wartime

I know that there was a younger boy by a stream/crick throwing rocks in the water screaming fuck fish-then another part he breaks into a woman’s house-and there are a bunch of treats on the counter-like baked good, he eats a bunch then defecates on the floor. I feel like it was narrated by a man who was reflecting on his life during WWII as a child-like at the end I felt he was sitting under a tree talking about it, then dying.

It does feel like WWII era film-maybe in England or Italy.

Man in a cold, remote place watches a woman through a screen, who is being attacked/terrorised by someone

Not sure how much of this I remember correctly. It’s a thriller about surveillance. It follows a man who works at a research station or similar, in a cold, snowy environment. His job involves looking at screens. He could be a scientist or even a spy.

He then somehow taps into a home security camera that shows a woman in imminent danger. There is a man (husband?) in the house, who terrorises her. The man at the station speaks to the woman through the screen, trying to help her, but of course, she can’t hear him. The film ends with the man walking out into the arctic blizzard, supposedly freezing to death.I assume he becomes obsessed with the woman and finally sets off in an attempt to find/save her.

The film is definitely from before 1995. It must be a lesser known film, but I am surprised I can’t find it, because the plot must have been considered original back then, when security cameras were not yet common

Some obscure thriller about a single mother who marries very unsuccessfully

Hello, I have not seen this supposedly American film myself. I just want to help one girl who complains that she has been looking for it for ten years without success. It was filmed presumably in the 90s.
According to the plot, a young single mother gets married. Her husband takes her to his house, located in the middle of nowhere. Some strange things begin to happen. She constantly has nightmares. Some shaggy one wanders around, and someone’s ominous whisper is heard. In the whisper you can make out the name Caroline (but this is not certain). Maybe this is her name.
In addition, the heroine found some kind of workshop/shed in the forest or in the garden. And there were strange, creepy pictures in it, perhaps drawn by this husband of hers. It is possible that one of the paintings depicts the burial of a child (most likely an infant)

There was also an episode with a death in the stable. Some woman, either his mother or his nanny, fell into a trough and was electrocuted

In addition, they had a child together. It died. Then (as far as this girl who is looking for the film remembers) it turns out that this psychotic husband killed this common baby of theirs.

  1. No matter how much I Googled, the result was zero .But nevertheless, hope dies last. Thanks in advance for any hints.

The wife discovers that her husband is a homicidal maniac after watching him kill a woman in the shower.

Well, the title of the post pretty much sums it up. I haven’t seen this movie myself, but I want to help two people who have been unsuccessfully looking for it for a long time. They say it was most likely filmed in the USA. In the 80s or 90s. This is clearly some very little-known B movie. So there’s little hope, but I’ll still give it a try. They both clearly remember only this scary scene from this movie. The wife (most likely she is his wife) apparently suspects that he is cheating on her with someone else. She follows him one night to some motel. And secretly watches through the window a sexual scene in the shower between him and some woman. But during this intercourse he suddenly takes out a knife from somewhere and cuts her throat! The wife leaves in horror. Maybe she reports it to the police. Maybe the movie somehow makes it clear to the viewer that this is not the first victim, so he is a serial killer. Well, that’s it. All my attempts to find it through Google were not crowned with the slightest success. The most I could find was a post on Reddit (at tipofmytongue) looking for the same movie, to no avail. People suggested movies like “Lady in Waiting” and “White of the Eye”, but there is no such scene there.

Alice in Wonderland but not?

it was a movie called Alice in Wonderland but it was not a Disney film, it was in 3d, the mad hatter was a gentler younger lad, Alice had brow hair and a dog, tweedle dee and tweedle dumb where hippos that guarded the queens’ palace, I don’t remember much past that

It was around 2014-2018 when I watched it but it probably came from the 2000s and no matter where I look I can’t seem to find the movie and it’s bothering me.
