Guess the movie by its simple premise.

I'm bringing back my game from a few years back.

The rules: write a premise of an existing film. Keep the description as simple as you can without bringing up specifics. You can be deceptive, but it has to be accurate.

I'll start: A man wears a costume so he can infiltrate a house to get near 3 underage kids.

A knife-wielding dwarf pounces on a couple while they’re trying to make love.

[–] samoanjoes (51764) a year ago

These dwarf ones are really difficult. There aren't many movies with dwarves and yet I got nothing.

[–] Rusty (548) a year ago

I’ve noticed you really struggle with the ‘dwarf ones’.

[–] what11 (351) a year ago

Freaks (1932) would be my guess, saw it only once, many years ago, so I'm really not sure about this one.

[–] Rusty (548) a year ago

Nope. It’s a much more mainstream film.

A fan turns into a psychopath...

[–] samoanjoes (51764) a year ago

The Fan? Big Fan?

[–] DrexlBickle (1897) a year ago

She's his number one fan

misery

[–] DrexlBickle (1897) a year ago

Yep, you got it

[–] Rusty (548) a year ago

I think Misery has had 3 appearances here so far. Annie Wilkes FTW.

[–] DrexlBickle (1897) a year ago

Okay, didn't realize. Yep.. Annie Wilkes FTW!

[–] samoanjoes (51764) a year ago

Can you blame anyone? It's an awesome movie.

[–] Rusty (548) a year ago

My favourite horror film of all time. Yep.

A cop is pronounced dead. He gets a new identity and learns martial arts.

This movie is based on 'The Destroyer' paperback novels

Batman Forever

[–] Rusty (548) a year ago

Non

[–] samoanjoes (51764) a year ago

The Wizard of Oz.

[–] Rusty (548) a year ago

Non (but it is quite child-friendly)

A pregnant man doesn't survive the birth.

[–] samoanjoes (51764) a year ago

I'm going for left field with this and saying The Matrix.

[–] Rusty (548) a year ago

Haha! Nope. Which dude gives birth in The Matrix??

[–] samoanjoes (51764) a year ago

There is that scene where Keanu was naked in slime inside of that cocoon thing. Entering the fake world of the matrix was him not surviving the birth. I was thinking that maybe your premise was metaphorical.

[–] Rusty (548) a year ago

Ah OK, well in that scenario Keanu is the ‘baby’, in my synopsis the man who is pregnant doesn’t survive the birth.

[–] what11 (351) a year ago

I'm thinking that you're talking about the (in)famous scene from Alien (1979).

[–] Rusty (548) a year ago

Bingo correct!

[–] Rusty (548) a year ago

Death by gumbo.

A group of kids and perhaps one adult who failed final year too many times are dumb enough to turn up for detention. The brains of the group is entrusted to write a 1000 word essay on behalf of the group but barely writes 100 words which would surely only bring about more detentions.

[–] samoanjoes (51764) a year ago

Breakfast Club.

[–] Mustang (5256) a year ago

Yep.
