Need help identifying some creepy films
 

Hi there, I'm brand new to this forum. I had a question, I wondered if anyone could help me.

I've been trying to find out the name of a series of TV episodes, or Short Films that came from in the UK in the late 90s. This is all going to be very vague, but I thought it was worth a shot to see if anyone remembers them.
I'll try and describe the three I remember.


The first was about this mentally disabled teen, who lives alone with his father. The boy has a supernatural power, by where he can say the word 'Bring' and it whatever he is thinking about or looking at appears in front of him. The catch is, if he 'brings' anything living, it arrives dead. One quote from the film was 'one day Toby (I think that was his name) saw a puppy on television. He brought it, and it was dead when it arrived'.
Because of this, no pictures or TV are allowed in the house. I believe there is a female caseworker who visits the house.


(SPOILERS START)
I believe the whole film climaxes with Toby seeing a picture of his dead mother, 'bringing her' and then the dead woman appears in the living room. I think Toby is going to be taken away by social services, so his father shows him some pretty pictures of sunsets. Toby Brings it and the house explodes. It was a pretty creepy film, and quite original.

(SPOILERS END)


The Next film was about a little girl who draws a picture. When she falls asleep she wakes up in her picture, but it's always a bleak and twisted perversion of her drawing. She adds a man to the drawing but he scares her, so the next day she scribbles over his eyes to blind him. The next night she goes to sleep, the man is blind and in agony and tries to attack her. I forget the rest of it.


The last film I remember was of some men stuck on a boat on the Norfolk Broads (A river network in Eastern England). I think the plot is, they're stuck on the boat, day after day. There a part where they come across a young boy and he gives them directions, but they go nowhere. Eventually they come across an old man, who gives the same directions, and has the same mannerisms. I forget the rest of this one too.


Well, I hope I gave enough details so that maybe it will jog somebodies memory. I sure would appreciate if someone remembers these films, and lets me know. :)

Sounds like The Twilight Zone..

Or Tales From The Crypt.


Or Night Visions.

Second one is PAPER HOUSE.

Deff not twilight zone or outer limits or anything like that, this was from the UK.


Yeh the second one was Paper house. I think when I saw the three as a kid, they must have been running a Brit horror season or something.

Thanks Ferox, at least I found one of them :)

The third one is definatly The Gate.

All 3 are The Gate.

I just looked up the gate on imdb.
Plot: 'Three young children accidentally release a horde of nasty, pint-sized demons from a hole in a suburban backyard'


...now I'm guessing 'The Gate' is a joke right?


p.s is the gate the movie where there's all these little monsters running about, and in one scene a guy is taking a leak, and one of them comes out of the toilet and bites his stuff off?

Cause whatever movie that was scarred me for life.

GREAT movie, the drawing of the house and then the reality of it in her dream...


Watch it everyone!

Then it wasn't The Gate.

Thanks.

I'll start searching right away.

The TV series could be Chiller which was broadcast in 1995,I can't remember much of the episodes but I do remember one episode being called "Toby" but I think that was about a ghostly baby.Worth a check though!

Lol Chiller, I remember that. Wasn't one of the guys from men behaving badly in that :)

I dunno if I'll ever find those ones. I did have another film I was looking for. Warning: Vague description coming up.

There was some movie from years ago I saw back then. This one was from the states, and broadcast in some horror movie series on Channel 4 I think.

The name might have been something like 'the abominable, or Abomination or something like that. It was basically about this goat legged demon thing these scientists are trying to find/kill/whatever. I think at some point they go down a cave, and a fat bearded scientists gets killed there... Lol I don't remember much from it, but it was pretty creepy when I was a kid.

Bump.

Actually did anyone ever see that show broadcast in the UK around 94-95, that supposedly featured a live feed from a house. It turned out to be a giant hoax in the end, but when it was on it scared the hell out of a lot of people. I remember stories of suicides relating to it's tormenting people well after it was broadcast.

Does anyone remember it???
