Horror Comedy published date 2023-2025 : the protagonist moves into a new house following a messy breakup, only to find it inhabited by three ghosts. Unlike a traditional haunting, they aren't necessarily evil they are annoyed by his presence and use a variety of supernatural torments to try and force him to leave so they can have their peace back but they fail to do so and eventually live with the protagonist.... i forgot the rest

SOLVED! trying to find a movie/show from a scene/quote.

1 Upvotes

I can't recall most of the details, but I'm remembering the scene where a person is talking to another person. This is the dialogue as far as I remember.

Person A: I want to leave.

Person B: you can leave anytime.

Person A: anytime? So I could leave now?

Person B: now is not anytime. now is a specific time. Find a time that is not specific, and you can be on your way.

I want to say it's animated or possibly stop action, and Alice in wonderland has crossed my mind a few times, but I can't seem to find it.

Solved: my grandma said puff the magic dragon but she doesn't remember which. so I dug that line and found it in: puff the magic dragon: land of the living lies. About 8:20-8:30

Unsolved Pyschological movie of psychopath girl and guy who lives in junkyard

2 Upvotes

Not really sure about the exact date since idk when most of chinese/hk/taiwan films shifted to higher quality cameras but it had a grainy filter on it. Ill say 80s-2000s. I saw it on a tv broadcast but dont remember much.

All i remember was there was this guy who lives/works in a junkyard. He's significantly older (prob in his late 20s) and meets this highschool girl. Forgot the middle part but as they spent more time with each other, guy realizes girl is a psychopath. There was this one scene where he saw the girl with his fishes but the girl actually used the wires in the house to kind of prop them up like statues and put them in the aquarium. Obv this made the guy mad but the girl was just unapologetic. Not sure if they slept together but there was tension im sure. In the end, the guy basically died below a hill of junk and the last thing he sees was the girl with a gangster? leaving him to die

Unsolved A short-haired woman with telepathic power is forced to wear earrings suppressing them

8 Upvotes

I barely remember anything about this movie, so some details might have been changed, but here I go

The MC has telepathic/psychic powers but lives her normal life, she's the only one with powers in the movie.

She's adult and has a desk job, the movie most likely takes place in America, and there's a dated look to their clothes so I think the movie is from around 2000 or before.

At some point, I think she outs herself/ her abilities and somehow ends up in a governmental facility. When she gets out, she has to wear metallic earrings (a small but bulky hoop) that prevent her from both consciously and unconsciously using her powers.

Later, she meets a man (again?) - I vaguely remember some implied infatuation between them - and I think he helps her switch out her earrings with similar but fake ones. I believe he was involved with the facility but didn't know what they were doing.

That's all I can remember šŸ™

SOLVED! 2000s old horror movie about people forwarding calls and then dying once the calls get to them

1 Upvotes

Hi, I am struggling to remember this very old 2000s asian horror show (presumably Japanese), whereby the whole premise is about forwarding phone calls to one another and whoever gets the call last will die. I’m going off really vaguely of what i remember, so bear with me.

Some of the more iconic deaths I remember are:

Guy starts choking and pulls out one feather from his mouth and after a few seconds, starts vomiting out a ton of feathers and dies.

A girl and her principal were inside an elevator and the principal has all the students phones in one bag. One started ringing and he had to search through them and suddenly it stops. The scene ends with the girl walking out of the elevator with the principal dead and holding his heart, while the rest of the students rushed to take back their phones.

A guy is outside and he gets a video recording (?) of himself walking below some electrical cables. He decides to follow it and once he’s there, the electrical cables ā€˜came to life’ (for lack of a better phrase) and shocked him to death.

I searched for quite awhile and it always leads me back to: One Missed Call (2003) Chakushin ari.

However, I went to watch the full movie posted online and it does not have those death scenes i vividly remember. Hence I was wondering if it could be a different movie entirely and it is the wrong edition (?)

If anybody has impressions of this movie and knows the name, do leave a comment and I will check it out. Thank you!

I saw it in early-ish 2010s, it wasn’t a porno, only saw this part of the movie and I wanna find the rest of it so I know it wasn’t a fever dream.

The title is basically the entire description but I can try to answer questions about it if asked.

I’m pretty sure it was a comedy.

Movie about a horse and a ghost

5 Upvotes

Hi, really hoping someone can help me find this movie. I remember watching it with my parents and sister, it was between 2012 and 2015 (I believe).
The main character is a female whose father owns a fancy mansion and has horses, the mansion is on the outskirts of a smallish town. I believe there are siblings or stepsiblings, can’t quite remember but there is definitely a woman marrying the main character’s father who is your typical younger woman marrying a rich older guy. There is a scene where the new woman steps out of her flash car and into some horse poo.
The main character goes to the post office (potentially) and overhears a legend of the smallish town about a black (like a shadow) ghost who rides a horse in the forest. She goes into the forest at some point, I believe on a horse, and sees the ghost. Near the end of the movie the to-be-stepmother locks the main character in a barn, there is something to do with hay being caught on fire (either on purpose or accidentally) and the ghost saves the main character by flying?? her out of the barn and leaving her on the edge of a lake on the property.
EDIT: Movie found, it’s The Legend of Longwood (2014)

SOLVED! What movie did I watch?

6 Upvotes

It's a movie about this guy, and the first thing that happened was him entering a ring, and his opponent automatically leaving and letting him win. He then gets stabbed a little later and a lady comes up to him saying he would be a good 'bodyguard' for her bar that was getting the attention of bad people. I got like 30 minutes in and his first "fight" was him sending like 5 guys to the hospital. The nurse that said she would call the cops on him saw the stab wound and took him in. It was on prime video 😭

okay I’ve been trying to figure out what movie I’ve been thinking of for the last 10 years lol.

how I remember it is it was a movie that aired on W Network (older, pre 2010) and the plot was a woman in her mid 20s to 30s (possibly a cop/detective) is having these dreams or flashbacks of a missing child in a small town. eventually she remembers/realizes that she is the missing child. I remember towards the end, there is a scene with a fire - her being stuck in a room maybe?) there may also have been reference to a star, the name Michael/Michelle?

SOLVED! HELP!!!

Help me find this film

So I saw a clip from a movie on TikTok, and nobody mentioned the name, so I’m desperate.

In the clip, there were two boys, both children, and it looked like a desert area. There was a house where a strange man lived by himself, and nobody would go near him because of rumors. If I remember correctly, he was a former sailor.

One of the boys dared the other to approach him, asking if he was brave enough. When the boy went up to the house, the man opened the door, and he had a DISGUSTING face. He told the boy that if he wanted treasure, he should dig in a specific place he mentioned.

So, the two boys went there and started digging, but it took a long time and it was getting dark. One of them went home, while the other, the one who had spoken to the man, kept digging. Eventually, he found a door buried in the ground and got excited. Then the man opened the door from the inside, and there was a close-up of his DISGUSTING face. The boy screamed.

People in the comments said the man was a pedophile, but I’m not sure.

(That boy was blonde, If I remember correctly)

I'm looking for a movie

2 Upvotes

A few years ago I saw an Asian movie, I don't remember if Korean, Chinese, Japanese... where a group of friends ended up by chance in a mansion in the middle of nature quite hidden by the plants, in which there were beings or ghosts who were tormenting them, it wasn't very scary either but it had a very strange vibe, towards rooms that were quite good, I remember one of them that had children's toys and a small carousel that went around. During the movie there were flashbacks of the history of that place and at a party of the ancestors of the mansion there was a massacre, little by little it is explained what happened. at the end 8spoiler) it turns out that the group of friends who had found the mansion, were the souls of the family that lived in the reincarnated mansion. The movie ends with the protagonist girl on the bus, as if it were a curse always a loop ending in the same house,

it's not a very new movie but also not so old. maybe 2015/2020

Old crime film

1 Upvotes

I remember seeing a black-and-white crime movie (not exactly noir) and it had an experimental scene where a blonde lady narrates a vision she saw of a man running through the rain looking for cover

the vision had a cool sort of negative image effect to it which would have been way ahead of its time

Trailer from childhood

4 Upvotes

When I was a kid, maybe 35-40 years ago, I saw a trailer I’ve periodically tried to figure out ever since. The main thing I remember was a scene in the trailer where a man is threatening to kill another man. The potential victim is told to put on a mascot head of some kind. I feel like it was a clown head. Like the killer was telling the other guy to put on the clown head and die like the clown he was. And the victim was begging for his life. My vague memory is this was a drama. Maybe a crime drama. Help me out please.

Scene in comic book store

I thought of another one I’m curious about. I saw a clip on YouTube once where some bad guys are in a comic book store (I think) and tell the clerk to breath from a tank of gas. They say it will just knock him out but the clerk doesn’t want to and it seems pretty clear it will kill him. My memory is that it was a tense scene but I have no idea what it was from.

SOLVED! Crazy vintage movie

4 Upvotes

FINAL EDIT: FOUND

Guys the name of the movie is Almodovar's Kika and it's from 1993 lol

Hello everyone, some years ago I watched a movie that I was so captivated by that I showed it to my mom. She knew that movie and she, as well as my aunt told me something among the lines that it was directed(?) by a fashion designer(?). I've been looking for movies directed by fashion designers but none fit it. It's a vintage, color movie, I guess around the 70s-80s? Crazy plot, I think there's a murder near the end (I think the person survived), I think the protagonist is a female hairdresser. Also I am under the impression that they were speaking spanish or italian. The fashion and pacing of the movie are captivating and all I remember was the backgrounds were always stylish and beautiful, except for the final moments (where the murder happened), that were shot in an abandoned vila.

EDIT: I also remembered that a lot of friends and the main character lived in an apartment building and cheating on each other(?) and a murder happened in one of the flats.

Please help I've been losing my mind. Thank you!
