I remember the movie you're describing being advertised about two years ago. It looked pretty interesting. I just don't remember what the title was....

They Came BAck ?

(french film .. i own it but i havent watched it yet so i dont know if that was in the movie or not.)

Are you sure that it´s a horror movie?

filmmaker2, thank you for making me feel a little less crazy!

urgeok, I don't think that's the one, but I'm not entirely sure.

Angra, I'm not certain that it's horror, but I think it is...:confused:

Your describtion just..... Doesn´t sound very scary. Sounds more like a drama... starring Kevin Costner..:rolleyes:

As I recall, no, it was definitely not sold as a horror movie. Seemed like a pretty realistic flick about seeing dead loved ones, people coming back because they have "unfinished business," that sort of thing.

Ironically, this realistic take on the subject matter was what made the flick seem spooky to me.

I see your point. It's kind of like trying to describe a dream to someone, and it's so easy to see it in your head, but not so easy to translate into words. As for the Kevin Costner thing, as best I remember, the actors didn't look at all familiar. If I could remember one, maybe I could find the movie that way. I'm really wondering if maybe it was something really obscure, and not produced in America. I mean, I think I've honestly looked at every single movie that appeared in theaters in the past three years, and I haven't found it. I've watched trailers of all the likely suspects, but still nothing. I did come across two movies that I'd missed seeing, Butterfly Effect and Godsend, and I'm thinking this mystery movie was advertised around the same time period. But as far as I can tell, what I'm thinking of isn't one of those movies.

The movie sounds identical to Stay, with Ryan Gosling and Ewan McGregor.

oh hell yeah !
i just watched that one too..


the line was more like :

"thats my father ...he's my father"
"I thought your parents were dead"
"they are "

I just looked the film up and it looks really interesting and complex. No wonder they had trouble selling it.....it looks pretty artsy.
