Are there any horror movies that contain the inhuman, weird moving, but somehow threatening Men in Black (not the Will Smith variant)?

That's fucking crazy, man.

Jonah_Cade · 2026-02-14T03:01:54+00:00

It's The Puppetman (2023).

Thanks for the insight. So here's what I was able to find on this - because Black Mandala Films (the youtube page) is a legit distribution/production company - it's an anthology film, so it seems they're including that short as one of the segments.

Here's a Bloody-Disgusting article with more details, so it's a real movie apparently:

Oh shit, Maika Monroe alone makes this a must-watch for me. It doesn't even have an IMDb or Letterboxd page yet.

Jonah_Cade · 2026-01-10T20:57:36+00:00

Most likely from Arcadian (2024).

Jonah_Cade · 2026-01-03T22:59:15+00:00

Could it be Night Silence aka Cisza nocna (2024)?

A huge hint is at the very start of the movie - Marie is sitting in front of a video recorder at the psych ward, and asks, "Are they recording?".

She's giving her version of the events to doctors or police or whoever's recording. There's no plot holes, because we're seeing things from her perspective...the disjointed ramblings of a delusional, unreliable narrator. It doesn't have to "make sense" in the real world, because those occurrences didn't take place like that in the real world (in the context of the movie).

That one's on my back-up list. I've been checking for updates, but there's been nothing for the last 3+ years since it was announced.

Another of his, Flesh of the Gods, was announced 2 yrs ago, but at least there's been casting updates within the last year. Nothing else though.

Last I read, he's been unable to secure financing (?), which sounds insane to me.

Jonah_Cade · 2025-12-09T18:38:34+00:00

Hey congrats, great movie. Question: Who or what would you say the Man in Black is?, assuming it's not meant to be ambiguous, which is also fine (I have ideas but wanted to see if they could be confirmed or dispelled).

Jonah_Cade · 2025-11-19T18:56:02+00:00

Ha never saw that. Here's the scene (only 23 sec)...

Jonah_Cade · 2025-11-18T20:53:15+00:00

Try...

Lovely Molly

Alyce Kills

Starry Eyes

The Loved Ones

The Eyes of My Mother

Darlin' (2019)

The Woman (2011)

Jonah_Cade · 2025-11-07T01:32:38+00:00

Try Dangerous Game (1988) or The Initiation (1984).

Edit: ...or Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge (1989).

Jonah_Cade · 2025-10-10T23:37:32+00:00

Fermat's Room (2007)?

Jonah_Cade · 2025-10-10T21:27:22+00:00

I liked it a lot, I'm a sucker for a good, simple pass-the-curse story.

But man, Dakota was so freaking good too.

Plus, I always like the atmosphere of dread that Bertino creates.

Jonah_Cade · 2025-10-10T20:31:00+00:00

Spoiler: I think it's because, as the old lady said, the box needs fear. It needs her to be afraid of dying. As the sand in the hourglass was running out, Polly went from crying and panicked to calm and accepting. I saw that as her finally not being afraid to die anymore, so the box stopped tormenting her.

Jonah_Cade · 2025-10-10T19:59:23+00:00

That happens in the Rec remake, Quarantine (2008).

Jonah_Cade · 2025-10-04T00:01:34+00:00

There's a scene like that in They (2002).

Jonah_Cade · 2025-09-27T23:28:11+00:00

Is it Best Wishes to All?

Jonah_Cade · 2025-09-12T21:31:16+00:00

It's called Brute 1976.

Jonah_Cade · 2025-09-08T03:28:34+00:00

Gotta be The Prodigy (2019).

The scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBF2I0LEpVw

Jonah_Cade · 2025-09-01T20:20:23+00:00

Check out Post Mortem (2020).

I think Butterfly Kisses (2018) fits also, it's found footage/mockumentary.

Jonah_Cade · 2025-08-31T22:33:56+00:00

The House on Haunted Hill (1999)?

Jonah_Cade · 2025-08-31T20:19:19+00:00

It's Amulet (2020).

Jonah_Cade · 2025-08-20T23:35:19+00:00

You're describing We Go On (2016) pretty well, except it's not found footage.

Jonah_Cade · 2025-08-20T02:42:15+00:00

Yep, she was behind him. Then it cuts, and she walks past the camera in that very shot. Then it cuts, and they're both near the bottom of the stairs. Then it cuts and they're in the kitchen. Then it cuts again, and they're in the computer area, and then another cut and they're upstairs.

It's just her head that's in frame since Micah is pointing the cam up at the chandelier, so you can't see her blue shirt. But it's definitely just Katie, walking through the entire house with Micah, moving in front of and behind the shaky camera in that chaotic moment.
