It’s possible it could be I Miss You, Hugs and Kisses based off the appearance of the actress in that scene though my knowledge on Video Nasties is limited since my mother told me they’re too scary.

The lady being stabbed by the guy in the T-shirt and coughing up blood? Its from the infamous footage added to the end of Snuff that overrides the climax of the original film. (I am in agreement with Kim Newman about really wanting to have seen how the original film, called The Slaughter and loosely based on the Manson killings, ended!)

EDIT: Here's a NSFW "Whang!" video about it.

It starred Randy Quaid and Vincent Schiavelli in an adaptation of a short story. A group of miners in the old west end up with a baby they have to take care of. At the end, the baby falls in the river and Quaid jumps in to save it but fails and the baby drowns. As far as I can tell this isn't listed on either imdb profile.
I found this thread just today. It's been a LONG time since your query was posted, but just in case you never found the answer, the film is called "The Luck of Roaring Camp." You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/p26yZvPmo6g?si=VwCC5pX6t9LNKRYf

About 30 minutes into Ash is Purest White, the gangsters are watching a film where Chow Yun-Fat is beaten up by another actor in a building that's on fire. Anyone know the movie?

Not so much an identify "this" movie question, but I figured I might ask it here (if another thread is more appropriate I apologize). If anyone has some off the top of their head, what are some examples of recent professionally-made, ideally-theatrically-distributed films (let's say within the last 10 years, following the shot-on-digital "revolution") that have absolutely no computer-generated visual effects (as in, with no VFX artists are credited at all)? VFX seems to have become cheap enough to apply to footage in some form that even very small productions rely on its availability to a degree that kind of staggers me (it's certainly disturbing on the level of the compensation that VFX artists in the global south receive for their work). To name a few films I've seen from the last couple years, spread across a few separate film industries, Bas Devos' Here, Close Your Eyes, Samsara, The Standoff at Sparrow Creek (on a budget of $450,000), How to Have Sex, Before You Know It, and Yannick all have substantial VFX work in spite of not having anything that at least seems like it would require anything of the sort, unless I missed something in each of these films. Examples of no-VFX films that received theatrical distribution in the States on at least an indie-circuit level include Shiva Baby and all of Hong Sang-soo's movies.

(As a side note, reading thru some IMDB pages for this post led me to realize that the last Paul Thomas Anderson movie not to have VFX was Boogie Nights!)

EDIT: This is a running list of titles not mentioned above that have no credited VFX work, added when I find them: Skinamarink (an edge case given the film's aesthetic), Stress Positions, Tangerine

I’m not sure if this counts but one of the first movies that came into mind was The Wolf House.

Re: Korean Films on DVD and Blu-ray

#1439 Post by Rizpektdue »

Searching for a film that I am assuming is South Korean made.

*It came out some time between 2007 and 2012.
*I saw it through Netflix when it still had a DVD service
*Three of the main actors are women and one is White
*I can't remember the name of the movie

some of the plot : Main actor (young korean woman) moves to either Canada or America to be with her new husband and her mother in law (older Korean woman). Although the woman loves her husband and is trying to get close to her mother in law and the older community of Koreans who attend church, she has "fish out of water" experiences living in a new country. Mysteriously, her new husband start to get gravely ill and dies soon after. At first ,her mother in law comforts her...but soon starts to suspect that there is something evil surrounding her daughter in law (a spirit) and it killed her son. The main actor soon meets her neighbors (a successful white couple with a nice house and indoor pool) and starts to get close to the wife. The young Korean woman soon fantasizes about their life and starts to attach herself into the neighbors life. All the while, the mother in law starts to get gravely ill (like she was cursed) and also dies Mysteriously,just like her son did...


I have been searching for this movie for years, to no avail.

please help me out

After doing a tad bit of research that appears to be the 2023 series Slip.

not a movie, but:
until about 5 years ago there was a dog documentary on youtube. made in the 2000's,
60-90min long.
and toward the end of it, for the last 15min, an ex-convict saves 2 dogs with behavior issues from the kennel. it shows how he did it (made friends with the dogs), and then it shows the 2 dogs living happily ever after in their new homes.
one dog was now living by the sea, and the other dog was riding away on a firetruck during a town celebration. anyone who's seen this has got to remember it.
can't find it on youtube anymore. would appreciate a new link if it exists.
thank you

Make Yourself at Home (2008)

Aside from IMDB, here’s a review found by searching with some of your useful description details (korean movie husband die mother-in-law church indoor pool).
Google is your friend, as my kids say.

Anyone know this one:

A 90s (I believe) Die Hard clone where the bad guy wears an explosive watch that's set to his pulse. If it goes off, everyone dies, or something like that.

For a second, I thought of the very enjoyable Live Wire with Pierce Brosnan, which does feature a clown being blown up. You’re actually thinking of Blown Away, though

No, it definitely doesn't have identifiable actors like Tommy Lee Jones and Jeff Bridges. And the explosive watch isn't part of the theme or anything, it just makes the bad guy a more powerful enemy.

I'm blanking on the name. Pretty sure it was Scandinavian from a few years ago. It's a lesbian drama about two teen girls who meet in a public bath that has no spoken dialogue.

Do you remember if this was from a film festival or on a video platform like YouTube? That could help narrow it down.

Wasn't a festival. Forget whether I saw it on disc or on streaming, though.

--EDIT: the title just came to me: Nude Area. Very impressive film. But it isn't Scandinavian at all, it's Dutch.
