B movie, round about the time of The Exorcist, possessed nymphet [ boys never get possessed for some reason ]
leading to much hilarity and weird goings-on at the local drive-in.

Detective film I saw about 25 years ago which I have good memories of. Wouldn't mind finding it again.

Set in India, a city somewhere. An English detective is sent to India from memory to try and apprehend someone who has fled there. He is sent to the local police station where he meets up with an Indian detective who invites him to stay with his family while trying to solve the case.

All very vague, I remember it being unusual, a good storyline and entertaining at the time!

Any ideas?

I can recall a film I once saw in the early 90's.

All I can remember is that it concerned a man and woman who were trapped in a skyscraper and being pursued by someone - possibly a cyborg.

I can remember one scene where the man and woman are on the outside of the building high up and shots are fired. The woman says that someone on the ground will have heard that and call for help. The man says they are too high up for anyone to hear.

At the end of the film she/they get home and someone is there. Possibly the assassin/cyborg.

It's not Project Shadowchaser.

It could be Trapped starring Kathleen Quinlan but there isn't enough of the film online to be certain.

The plot for that film is on Wikipedia, that might jog your memory.

Thanks, I have read that page and that's why I think it could be the film I'm looking for.

The part at the end of the article where it says she goes home and the guy who helped her shows up could be the ending I remember. It's just that long ago since I saw it, it's a hazy memory.

Right, saw this either on iPlayer or more likely Prime earlier this year, cannot remember the name.

Two strands to the story, one is a US cop's partner is killed in the subway, at the scene is something like a woman's shoe.

Concurrently, a young woman, Hispanic I think, religious, has a husband who is either in jail, killed, or both. A short time later she is pregnant, it can't have been him, she thinks divine intervention, the community shun her.

The link is at the end, where you get to see what happened in the subway, the cop was raping her, somehow pushed him on to the track or otherwise into harm's way, she's totally blocked the incident from her mind.

May be Keanu.....

Any ideas?!?

What’s the film where a guy in the army and a female subject are volunteers to be cryogenically frozen for a year. But they get forgotten about and get woken up in the future where the world is dumb because all the stupid people reproduced and intelligent people died out. This average guy is thus the most intelegent person in the world.

Now to hijack the wife’s phone, as it seems you can find the list of everything you’ve ever watched on Prime. Best not show her what “working from home” means when it lists err, quite a few box sets hehe

I remember seeing the subway one, but I couldn't remember what it was called.
Some googling gave a lot of dead ends, but eventually I found it.

Warning, plot is fully revealed in the link.

Awesome, Thanks, really appreciate you looking.

Still free on Prime, 4.3 score on IMDB seems a little harsh, but there you go!

A film about a blond fella in a city, most likely NYC, with a lil creature in his backpack...troll maybe, magical, or an alien...
a young adult film, or kid...not really sure, have a vague feeling of early 90s

Can I also leave a request?


I'm trying to recall a film I saw on the horror channel. Didn't catch the start but the scene I first saw was a young couple and (what I think was) a farmer.

They were being tormented a bit and it got steadily worse. I think the couple were left for dead but the husband / boyfriend survived.

He then tracked down this farmer dude & his family some time later looking for revenge. Farmer had a dog that got killed too.

Possibly made in the last 5 - 10 years I would guess?

TIA.
