🎥 StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #2325 [StoneKeeper brews up a victory with VIY]
Okay, on with the show after a brief hiatus! I must say, this pick really had me under its spell. Good luck surviving!
I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guess, I will give a hint that connects your guess with the movie I have in mind.
For each guess, a connection is posted. Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords. Note: "Plot" in the IMDB advanced search links to "Plot Summary" on the film's page. "Keyword" in the advanced search links to "Plot Keyword" on the film's page.
Helpful search engine: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/ Click on Feature Film and TV Movie and Video. Then modify for the hints as they are posted.
- The winner can either start a new game or say "pass". In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another one.
- After 12 hints and 15 incorrect guesses the point goes to the OP and he/she gets to start another one.
- Movie must have at least 3500 IMDB votes. Otherwise, add a bonus hint. No documentaries.
- Maximum 2 guesses per player per hint.
- Can't edit a guess once posted. Delete ONLY
- Post one Hint at a time.

It was a thoroughly arduous trek, but StoneKeeper didn't need three whole nights to champion Viy (1967), Soviet-produced byzantine folk horror film that uses tangible imagery to really get under your skin. At one point in a previous career I was researching obscure myths/tales and came across this absolute gem of an adaptation. With its brilliantly implemented lighting and production design contributing to an overall atmosphere of dread, this under 90 minute feature provides spooks and chills that linger long after the credits have rolled.
