Add one title.The film is located in some prison camp.A man with several women escaped it.One woman was captured by a villainess and knelt before her and was killed by arrow(the villain uses crossbow).Later another woman was stopped by villainess too but she fought and killed the latter.One scene is the man was stopped by a badguy driving a machine-gun equipped forklifter.He sent out a woman as a diversion and sneaked upon the forklifter and cut oper the badguy's head.Finally they armed all prisoners and revoked and enemy headquarter sent out jet plane to bomb the camp but they ran into jungle in time so only enemy soldiers got bombed.

All prisoners were dressed in yellow.

Both me and my brother remember a film from when we were kids, probably made in the early 1980's. It was about a boy and his sister. The boy was allergic to precious metals (or jewels as well maybe), if he got near them it hurt. He was kidnapped, as obviously useful to find treasure, and the sister spends years looking for him. I remember there was a bit about a plague and various people helping her. She finally finds him and he has learnt to control his 'skill', so that it no longer hurts if he is near precious metals. However, he has turned nasty and greedy. Not sure what happens then, but at the end the castle collapses, he turns nice again and he sketches a flying machine (glider) on a rock - bit da vinci like in design.
Please help if you can - I have run out of places to look!

1,Israeli film about a veteran being cyborgized and used as a tool of killing but he finally killed the bad guy.A scene is going wrist-wrestling in an inn.
2,A german film about a gay corporal fighting for 3rd Reich in 1944,his commander got a deal with US commander across the line and sent him to escort a civilian messenger,and he killed the messenger for some personal outrages.
3,Maybe a US film about some gene-created creature which can parasite and manipulate humans.Most scenes are on a ship and it's night outside.One scene is the boss turned into an octupus-like thing with humans devoured by it attached to it tentacles.And when survivors were rescued, the pilot's eye seemed mutated.
4.A vietnam war film about a US detachment behind enemy line,one scene is someone got killed by spike-trap and his body was hung there.Another scene is a vietnamese commander pulled out pistol to shot a tortured prisoner.

I'd be very grateful to be told the titles.

Reminds me of "Virus" - the boss (captain) was played by Donald Sutherland and it had Jamie Lee Curtis in it.
The virus manipulated machinery and the characters are a salvage team that board an abandoned cargo ship and basically get messed up by the alien controlled machinery.
IMDB entry:

Sorry,not a match.The boss in that film is bio-tech one.It originally was of a fist's size and looks like a slug.

Aha! is it Deep Rising?

Just wondering if anyone could help. I'm looking for an Asian Martial Arts film that was shown on a Channel 4 special, a good few years ago. I think Iron Monkey was also shown during this season. Anyway, the film is in black and white - or filmed very very dark - and the only scene I can remember is a number of people jumping from tree top to tree top. I know this a very vague description but that's all i can remember!

Many thanks!

Hi all!

I remember seeing a fairly old (looking at least) horror film a while back. It was about a guy (possibly a writer) who goes to an old hotel sort of place, which was pretty small and all VERY english! anyway there's a ghost or something there. the main weird things i remember are that he hears noises coming through the walls in his bedroom, and also there being a door under the stairs that appears sometimes, and possibly has a room number on it. the main guy opens it and just sees blackness as far as he can see, but a hand grabs him and tries to drag him in, and he's only saved because the woman on reception is with him and drags him back in.

It sounds a bit on the cheesy side, but I remember the film having a good atmosphere and was pretty creepy. please help!

Hi,

I'm after the name of a French short film shown on the Australian SBS TV channel a number of years back (over 15 years ago now). The film had a bizarre twist at the end, something like the male character killed his sister instead of his girlfriend/intended victim. There was also a shower scene as well, maybe similar in vein to the Hitchcock movie "Psycho". That's all I remember - sorry. :-(

The short film was shown as part of SBS TV's "Eat Carpet" series.

Jave.

Great series Eat Carpet and sadly missed.A fantastic showcase of short films from all over the world presented by the very appealing Annette Shun Wah.
There's some pretty cluey folk on these forums but if you don't get an answer soon you could try the Facebook page for Eat Carpet.

There's an adaptation of Number 13, another MR James, although the door isn't under the stairs but between numbers 12 and 14.

Trying to remember the name of an Indiana Jones rip-off I saw in the mid to late 80s. Can't remember anything about the film itself, only the big-box VHS cover - a man in a leather jacket (I think it was black) stood either on or by the wing of a plane with lots of dark green in the background. The cover was an Indy style artist's depiction, not a still photo. It may have been Italian, but can't be sure. What it was definitely NOT:

Romancing the Stone;
Jewel of the Nile;
Either of the Allan Quatermain films with Richard Chamberlain;
Tales of the Gold Monkey;
Diamonds (AKA Treasure of the White Goddess);
The Treasure of the Amazon;
Jungle Raiders;
Tennessee Buck;
The Mines of Kilimanjaro;
Hunters of the Golden Cobra;
Hunt for the Gold Scorpion;
Ark of the Sun God

I've googled various things (which is what informed some of the above list), but have come up empty...

The Great Waldo Pepper poster has a painting of Robert Redford in a leather jacket with a bi-plane in the background.Maybe a bit early though - 70's.

High Road to China starring Selleck, 1983?

Nope to both Waldo Pepper (this was definitely an Indy rip-off) and High Road to China.

I can see the video cover almost clear as day, but I just can't remember anything else about it. I know I rented it more than once too! GAH!

Well now, further to this, I have answered my own question...

I decided to sit down and re-watch Colin Eggleston's not-sure-if-it's-brilliant-or-awful The Long Weekend at the...weekend, for the first time in years, and afterwards decided to see what else Eggleston had done. Clicked on this - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091964/ - and answered my question (and that is exactly the cover I was thinking of). Okay, so it's not Italian, nor is he stood on the wing of a plane, and it's probably not an Indy rip-off, but that's the image I remembered.

Now alls I need to do is track it down and watch it again. Primo YouTube material I thought, but it looks like not...

I'm guessing this the correct thread for this but here goes. I am looking for the name of a film I saw when I was younger. Its a British film and I think it was made in the early 90's or late 80's(not quite sure). It was made for TV as I recall and it was a thriller/horror. Basically what I can remember from it is that a couple of city boys decide to spend the weekend in the British countryside and get away from the city life.

When they get arrive they decide to go to a pub and they hook up with a rather unpleasant chap with white hair(or just really really blonde, like scooter lol) and this guy is heavily involved in paintballing and hunting but the city boys dont realise that this guy is a nut and his friends are also.

3 scenes I remember in particular from the movie are as follows.

1. The city boys are driving on a road at night and they get attacked by the blonde guy and his friends. Some of the city boys escape but leave their friend behind. The crazy locals dont kill him but bash up the car pretty badly and scare the shit out of him.

2. A scene in the city where a secretary walks in and is spanked by her boss in the office.

3.The climax of the film ends in a siege in a little country house( similar to Straw Dogs).

And thats all I remember, it is very much like Straw Dogs but it is a younger film than it and a with a pretty unknown cast. Although unknown at the time maybe one or two of the actors might be recognisable today.

Anyone have any ideas?

Here goes. I remember watching a horror film at least 20 years ago on tv, where there were loads of kids locked in the basement of a house. They had something cut out eyes, ears or tongues. And I think the parents were the culprits. I feel like it was called 'see no evil' or speak no evil' but I cannot track it down. It was probably rubbish but its stuck in my head. Think it was an american film but not 100% sure.

This might be The People Under the Stairs. Seems to fit the description.

I remember seeing a couple of minutes of a film or TV show where a woman was walking along a beach or pier (there was definitely an ocean next to her). I think she had afro-hair and was wearing white clothes. She may have been Aboriginal. As she's walking the song "My Island Home" by Christine Anu is playing. After the song ends, she walks up to another woman sitting in a car and says, "Where the fuck are you going?" but not in an angry way (although she definitely said fuck). I saw this scene on TV 11 years ago and I want to know where it's from.

Haven't seen the film but this description felt familiar - a bit of searching led me to an Australian film called "Radiance" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiance_(film)

Apologies if this has cropped up within the last 55 pages but anyway...

Early nineties, my friends and I went through a phase of repeatedly hiring out Candyman (underrated film) - one of the trailers before it was a cheap-looking, straight-to-video horror about a group of scientists in a lab experimenting on baboons, until one of them runs amok and starts attacking everyone... the baboon, not the scientist...

If it's called 'Baboon' I'll be livid...

I have a strange one here. It's been bugging me for a while. I remember in a past issue of Empire. A film was reviewed in which it had a picture of a female teacher (fair hair, shoulder length), legs akimbo, with a teenage lad (I think he was meant to be 12/13!) giving her funny twinges..sorry cunny lingus. It may have been a foreign film. It may have been set in or around WW2. I think we could talking at least 2000-2002 here (possibly older). Any ideas?

Maybe The Reader, or The Piano Teacher?

A bit late I know. It's not "The Piano Teacher", god-awful film that was. And it's not "The Reader" either, as the film I mentioned is fairly old by now. Possibly around the 2000-2004 mark, maybe older?

Addendum:

I found it. Someone on IMDb helped me.

It's from 1995 and it's a Swedish film. That's the image that I had in mind. Not quite the way I described it, and the lad is meant to be 15 but it is set during WW2.

Apparently, there are 4 films with an underwater/sci-fi theme, all released in 1989 - The Abyss, Leviathan, DeepStar Six, and another one which I don't know about.

From what I gather, it would be on the similar lines of the other three; I would much appreciate it if someone can provide me with a title (an IMDB link would be even better).
