Need Help Finding 5 'Movies'
Hello there, everyone. I was hoping someone could help me identify these 5 movies, well…I believe they were movies. There’s a chance they may have been episodes from bigger shows, and I, unfortunately, would not be able to tell or not. Three of these might be easier to remember if you are Canadian and I’ll explain why when I get to them.
The first ‘movie’ was mostly just a scene I saw on television one night and I was so tired, and it was so trippy for my barely conscious teenage brain at the time I left it. My memory, like most of these, is a bit vague but if I remember correctly, the movie was in another language, there was a woman who appeared tied to a mattress in an open cave. She starts freaking out because she starts seeing parts of the wall moving toward her, which, I think looked like people covered in dark papier-mâché stepping forward toward her. It seemed like it was artsy.
The second one was a female-lead medieval tale. A lady, whether royalty or not, I can’t remember, is to be married but her fiancé, whom she loves, is turned to stone – the specifics of which is a mystery to me. Later, she dons knightly armor and a sword and fights…mud monsters, or some such weird creatures. I remember seeing this on TV when I was younger (early to mid-90s, I think) and I have no clue why, I always seemed to stop around the part where she is at the bottom of a well with a young child, with the monsters up above. She reassures the child they’re safe because the monsters dislike water. And that’s it, no clue why I didn’t watch more since I always wanted to know if her fiancé was ever restored to normal and if they had a typical fairy tale happy ending.
The next 3 will be strange because I remember seeing them on Space Channel, either in the late 90s or early 2000s. Space Channel, if I understand, was basically Canadian Sci-Fi Network and would show Star Trek, LeXX, Outer Limits, and Godzilla movies. But occasionally, it would show some…weird short films.
The first of these I remember seeing a few times. A woman, mourning the loss of her husband and lives out in the woods, sees some monster roaming around. At one point, the monster grabs someone, a potential suitor, and shoots a fireball in his face. It’s revealed that the monster is her husband…reborn, reincarnated, I don’t know, and at the end they have sex, and she becomes pregnant. I don’t remember this being a full-length movie but perhaps it was.
The other was in the vein of a found-footage horror movie, probably capitalizing on the recent success of “The Blair Witch Project” though I’ve never heard anyone mention it. An exterminator films himself going into a dilapidated building to get rid of some rats. As he progresses through, he sees some strange things, like rat droppings that are too big to be of a normal rodent. Then, he is chased by a giant rat (I assume so, I blinked at this moment and missed what it was) and before he makes it out the camera falls and we hear him scream for a bit before, well, I’m guessing is eaten.
The final one I saw was early one morning and it is potentially the weirdest one of all. A body is found in Toronto, which leads to a giant Kaiju named “Ganada” who wreaks havoc, and two scientists are involved…somehow, and the lady scientist knows karate, and then the media, profiting off of the carnage, make their own giant robot with a large screen for a head broadcasting two news anchors and Ganada and it fight. I vaguely remember it ending with Ganada backhanding the screen-head off the robot and everything exploding.
And those are the five ‘movies’ I have spent more than half my life wondering what the heck they were! Maybe I’ve been looking in all the wrong places and these are all very well-known pieces of media and I’ve essentially been going crazy finding something akin to “The Shawshank Redemption” in how well it’s known. Regardless, I’d very much appreciate any help whatsoever finding these ‘movies’ and knowing, without a doubt, I didn’t make them up in my head.
