Horror Aficionados discussion

Rules: Name the movie based on the description given, and then post a new movie description for someone else to guess.

A mute woman marries a man she's never met, and he doesn't understand her attachment to her musical instrument.

I know this one but I can't remember the name though and would have to cheat and google which I promise I won't do! So I will have to pass on this one! It was years since I seen it.

Hint: She has a daughter and the actress who played her is on a TV show about vampires. Harvey Keitel plays her lover.

Honestly the name escapes me! Somebody help me out!!!

LOL. The name of the movie is her big instrument that she uses to communicate with. It comes with a STOOL. It was left on the beach. It stars Holly Hunter! I guess you haven't seen this movie ten times like I have, huh?

The Piano!

After his family is savagely murdered, a man joins the military, gets betrayed after surrendering, escapes, heads to Texas with an old indian man, a young indian woman, and a dog that he picks up along the way pursued by the military and bounty hunters. Saves a family from comancheros, moves to their ranch to raise cattle, makes a bargain with the Comanche chief Ten Bears, kills the man who killed his family and hooks up with a crazy woman.

Yes, The Piano. I thought I was going to have to come out and say the instrument is her piano.

Stephanie, I have no idea. I don't watch many westerns.

hhahhhahahahahahhahhahahhahahaaa I was not thinking that at all!!

No idea!!!

Hint, it was based on a novel and the author was a speech writer for Alabama Gov George Wallace.

Outlaw Josey Wales. Great film!

Rookie FBI agent has to track down serial killer with the aid of an even worse serial killer, while dealing with sex-discrimination and political manipulation.

Silence of the Lambs?

Yes, Stephanie. Guess I'll have to do another one now.

OK, this one is trickier, I think.

A widower is determined to unearth the truth behind his wife's murder in a Third World country. His search for the truth unearths a network of political and corporate greed and corruption threading through the entire society.

The Constant Gardener?

Here's one. A woman gets addicted to diet pills to lose weight for a game show appearance. Her son, his girlfriend and best friend are herion addicts, who become dealers. The son gets an infection from shooting up and has his arm amputated in a prison hospital, the friend also winds up in jail, and the girlfriend ends up in prostitution to support her habit. The mom gets committed to an asylum and given electro shock treatments.

Requiem for a Dream. One of the most uplifting movies I've ever seen...not!

A high school girl is told her journalism entry for a contest isn't cutting edge enough. So she enrolls in another high school, cuts her hair and passes herself off as a boy to go undercover to get a juicy scoop. As you can guess, all kinds of mishaps ensue.

Was this movie done in the 80's?

Yes.

*Why didn't anyone tell me I spelled "guess" wrong in the folder title? :-P*

I'm certainly not qualified to correct anyone's spelling, mine blows.

I thought it was a deliberat error, Tressa. :)

Do you REALLY want to see my cleavage?

Akira (I had to cheat. Never heard of it.)

Hard Candy?

His mother reannimates his body using the voodoo book. The son wakes up but doesn't realize what happend and goes to school.
Someone pisses him off and he bites him, thus starting the spread of infection. Zombies romp, gore and good times ensue. I won't give away the ending!

Jerrod you were right on Trading Places.

Is it Boy Eats Girl ?



In this movie something comes from the future to kill our heroine before she can give birth to to the leader of the resistance. One of the actors becomes a politician.

Lori you are right!

Terminator


A man struggles with memories of his past, including a wife he cannot remember, in a nightmarish world with no sun and run by beings with telekinetic powers who seek the souls of humans.

Dark City?

Dracula, The Wolf Man, Frankenstein, The Mummy and The Creature from the Black Lagoon come to a small town to find an amulet that will let them take over the world. It’s up to a small band of children to save us all.

Phil wrote: "Dark City?"

Correct!

Monster Squad?

A community of mutant outcasts of varying types and abilities attempts to escape the attentions of a psychotic serial killer and redneck vigilantes with the help of a brooding young man who discovers them

Yep!

Nightbreed? (nice synopsis btw :))

The Fog?

This is Dead & Buried

A man wakes up to find himself all seemingly all alone in the World, because of an experiment he was a part of. The only survivors left on Earth are the ones that died the exact moment everyone else disappeared.

Dead and Buried is right.

The next one is 'The Quiet Earth'?

A young singer is stalked by a serial killer that ties her up, tapes rows of needles to her eyelids and forces her to watch while they kill.

What the hell kind of movies have you psychos been watching?

Terror at the Opera?


The survivor of an auto accident finds herself being stalked by a shadowy figure after taking a job as a church organist.

Carnival of Souls. Such an eerie movie!

A young French girl is kidnapped and tortured in a warehouse. She escapes, and ten years (?) later returns with a female friend to the house of the couple who tortured her to exact revenge on them. But something far worse in the house will be discovered by one of them.

Yes. What's your movie plot?

King Dinösaur wrote: "Oh yeah. Um...

Okay.

A vengeful witch and her fiendish servant return from the grave and begin a bloody campaign to possess the body of the witch's beautiful look-alike descendant. Only the girl..."

Took me a while to think of this one, for some reason I was thinking it was a Hammer movie but I think it's 'Black Sunday'.

Ok here's a two word movie plot;

Zombies, shopping-mall.

Dawn of the Dead ?

D4ngerousBeans wrote: "Dawn of the Dead ?"

Yup

ok here goes ,

"A father loses his son , and has to travel for miles to get him back , with the aid of a woman with Memory loss"

Finding Nemo?

A man is menaced by a truck driver for no reason at all. He never even sees the man's face, just a beefy arm resting on the door.

Duel?

Another two word movie plot;

Necronomicon, cabin.

indeed finding nemo , damn that was too easy

Surely Phil's plot isn't Evil Dead?

Beans, it's only easy if someone has seen (and in my case, remembers) it. Everyone should see Duel. It's a great little made-for-TV movies from the '70s. Steven Spielberg directed it. It was before Jaws.

This movie is set in London. The main character kills his friend, and many other people. He has waking dreams, and stays hungry all the time. They made a second one with different people in it set in Paris, not as good as the first one.
