You know that movie you saw that one time but barely remember anything about? I think we should have a perpetual identify a movie from a vague description thread.

I’ve got two I that I have no idea what they were. Both are mid-80’s or earlier.

The first one was about this dark-haired girl who was involved with witches somehow. Maybe she thinks some girl is one, or someone is trying to frame her as one, or both. Someone leaves her a horse’s tail and it really freaks her out.

The second one is about a teacher and some kids in a one room school house. Some weird guys decide to hunt them down, and eventually the teacher and the kids ecape by going underwater (in a cave?) and someone nearly drowns.

Next!

I think the tread title should be “The ID movies, TV shows, books, songs, paintings, and other Art Stuff from a vague description thread”, and it should be a Sticky, stuck on top, that would cut down on a vast number of threads and keep them organized.

I believe that would be the Australian movie, **Fortress** , starring Rachel Ward.
