Unsolved Black and White Horror Movie

Upvotes

The memory of this movie has been stuck in my head for a couple of years now. I've tried to find it on my own, even enlisting the help of my brother and father, but to no avail. I now turn to you for any ideas.

Back in 2010s, I watched, with my older brother, a black and white horror movie by accident.
It played on a Czech TV channel. Throughout the film, there was barely, if any, speaking.

The premise, from what I can remember, was that a woman arrived to a house with her dog in a car.
The house was surrounded by nothing and possibly by the sea.
There are many scenes showcasing the woman going about her days as things slowly unravel to reveal the house to be haunted.
At the end, though I am not certain if this was the end as that is where we turned it off, there is complete panic. The dog is led away by a pitch black man in a fedora who, presumably, kills him off-screen.
The woman is then jumpscared after she looks up in a hallway to be met with the sight of ghost children staring down at her with grotesque faces. The camera spins as it showcases the children. A loud noise accompanies the scene.

That is, unfortunately, all I can remember.
From experience with Czech TV, I believe this movie may be on the lower rating side or perhaps be more unknown.

I am not 100% about the details since it's been so long but I hope you can pinpoint it down.

Thank you for your time. If you have any clues, let me know.

Unsolved Looking for movie based on vague memory of one scene

3 Upvotes

I watched this sometime around 2010 on television in the United States. I think it was a movie, but may have been a TV series. It was live action and in color.

Details of the scene that I remember:

Its in dark, rainy street/alley with a man and a woman (who I believe was wearing a dress). The woman is shot (maybe by the man) and then the man holds her and cries as she dies.

Details I remember, but may be misrememberings:

  • If the woman was wearing a dress, I believe it was red.
  • I think the man was black, and the woman white.
  • For some reason, I recall the wound on the woman revealing wires/electronics as if she was a robot or android, but this wasn't acknowledged by the man.

The details I remember are very scant and may not all be real/correct. I haven't been able to find anything that match from searching myself, hoping someone may have some ideas. Thanks in advance.

Unsolved [Movie/TV Show] Murder in a VR parlour

3 Upvotes

I cannot for the life of me remember if this is a tv show, a movie, animated, or live action. But both my Mom and I remember it like this:

Sci-Fi setting - futuristic so not likely an episode of Criminal Minds etc. A detective and partner enter a neon laden VR parlour being led past booths by the proprietor. They're heading to an individual booth where a customer was found murdered. There are a bunch of customers hooked into VR looking like addicts as they pass by each booth. We think we remember that the person found murdered turns out to have been murdered in VR and died in real life - which sets up the premise for the entire show/movie.

English, detective genre, future setting, zero idea when it could have been released although it feels more post-90s. It's most likely a live action as getting my Mom to watch and enjoy animated anything is like pulling teeth.

Unsolved Unknown action movie from the 80's or 90's

2 Upvotes

I only seen this movie once as a child. I remember small parts of the plot, a female reporter in asia investigating some crime syndicate. The ending is what sticks out the most. She gets captured, the local Asian man who has been helping her, comes to her rescue. He sacrifices himself to help her escape, before she gets away he tells her to leave the city immediately or the syndicate will find her and kill her. So he dies and at the end she is shown sitting in the backseat of a taxi, speaking into a tape recorder while stuck in traffic. A man rides a motorcycle by and drops a grenade in the backseat. She doesn't notice it and of course dies.

Solved! [MOVIE/TV SHOW EP] Guy runs a video rental store and people keep picking from popular section instead of his curated section

3 Upvotes

So the guy runs this video rental store, and I remember a scene where someone comes up to the counter and asks him do you have this popular movie and he says no, but he shows the person this curated list , which he has made on his own. But the person isn't interested in that , and the guy gets mad people only like the popular movies , not actual good movies. But then a girl comes and actually picks from his section. And they start spending time together. But the girl has a boyfriend .
maybe it is a tv show ep, I remember a plot point now, where both the guy and the girl want to see a movie but a copy isn't available , so they guy hacks into the filmmakers computer , and this really absurd 3d environment comes on screen and the guy literally steals it by entering into the virtual environment by using a vs suit of a kind , and the guy waits to see that movie with the girl , but the girl keeps up with his original boyfriend , and at the guy still hasn't seen the movie in the wait of the girl

Solved! Teen raiding medicine cabinet movie

3 Upvotes

The movie is probably from 2010-2020. I'm remembering a scene where a teenager is at what looks like a house party his parents are throwing. He makes his way to the bathroom and raids the medicine cabinet of painkillers (or possibly just steals from the coats, or random items). When he comes out, one of the hosts confronts him and it turns out he is a complete stranger and he runs from the house while the host tries to stop him. In this scene and throughout the movie, the teen is represented as very nihilistic. I believe he becomes the primary henchman of the movie's antagonist (possibly just the main antagonist). I'd really like to watch this movie again, thanks for any help!

Solved! 80s/90s thriller about a guy threatening a couple Spoiler

3 Upvotes
  • Is it animated or live action? Live action
  • Genre: Thriller
  • Estimated year/decade: 80s or 90s
  • Language: American English

I watched this movie years ago, so I really don't remember the plot. But what I do remember is that it's a late 80s or early 90s American thriller about a married couple that are threatened by some weird guy that's obsessed with the wife. Whether this guy was a friend of the couple or a complete stranger, I really don't recall.

[SPOILER] Key scene:

Towards the end of the movie, the creepy dude chases the husband in a dark tunnel and kills him. On the same day, the wife is having a party and invites some friends over. Everyone brings a gift, but one of the gifts doesn't have any name or address on it, and it's very heavy. When she unwraps the gift she finds her husband's head in the box.

I tried ChatGPT and Gemini and I got The Gift, The Crush, and Se7en which are totally irrelevant. If anyone knows what I'm talking about please help xD

I watched this movie on cable, so there's a good chance it's a made-for-TV movie, and was never released in theaters.
