Title: A movie about men suffering from OCD and being forced to complete special tasks.
Post by: Griswald on August 20, 2015, 03:16:50 PM
Hi, guys. Can you help me?

Surely, this is kind of obscure movie. Possible genres: thriller/horror.

This movie introduces fully grown male protagonist that suffers from some kind of mental disorder, probably O.C.D. Some events in the actual plot line which I cannot recall from my memory right now leads to the situation, when our protagonist is forced (again - probably) by his illness to complete a set of tasks or actions repetitively specific number of times. These numbers appear in his perception of the world in creative ways at the beginning of every "special task" he faces in his everyday life. People dies in unfortunate set of events or in unclear accidents when he refuses to accomplish those "special tasks". But it wasn't always the case.

A few scenes:
1. Our protagonist dropped a cup of pencils (probably at his office). Pencils quickly formed themself into number 8. The task that was given to him was to drop a single pencil 8 times. Otherwise a secretary will die by falling down the stairs and breaking her neck.
2. Our protagonist as a young boy. He was jumping on the sidewalk, at the same time avoiding the edges of flagstones (you know, kids stuff). When he stepped on the edge, another kid was hit by a car.
3. Something similar to scene #1, but it involved emptying the garbage.

No more details, unfortunately :(

Thank you in advance!

Sorry for my mistakes, this isn't my first language, I'm from Poland.
Poland cannot into space, as well as into recalling movies from the past :(

I'm guessing this movie was made in the 1990's or early 2000's (it seemed to have a SAW theme to it - do a task or somebody will die for it)

I'd looked up OCD (and movies and found this small list)

Sorry I have doubts your movie is in this list but maybe something may come to you.

I would like to know when and where you saw the movie.

Since your in Poland, the film could be a Polish film (maybe Italian - since the story seemed to have a gaillo feel)
