  it’s a movie about a transdimenisonal monster trying to taking over our planet and universe. It’s like an amorphous pile of celltissue that has tentacles and hair sticking out of it, and one singular large (in the movie yellow) blue eye. It’s in an alternate universe that had biological computer instead of silicon based.

    New challenge to everybody who reads this: identify that movie using only Google.

      One of my favourite things on Reddit were the helping subs where you could describe something, ot play a short clip if you had it, and have everyone try to identify it for you. What’s That Song was my favourite, wasted hours in there trying to ID tunes!

      There is a Help Me Find Lemmy community, but it’s pretty dead, sadly.

    From Bard. Any hits?

    Based on your description, there are a few possibilities for the movie title:

    Annihilation (2018): This sci-fi horror film features a mysterious, shapeshifting entity from another dimension that resembles a shimmering mass of cells. It has a singular yellow eye and its goal is to consume and assimilate everything in its path. While not explicitly biological computers, the film explores themes of consciousness and adaptation within biological systems.

    The Thing (1982): This John Carpenter classic depicts a shapeshifting alien parasite that can imitate any living organism. Although not from another dimension, it exhibits the amorphousness and tentacle-like appendages you mentioned. Additionally, a large eye is shown briefly when the creature transforms into a dog.

    Videodrome (1983): David Cronenberg’s body horror film delves into the intersection of technology and flesh. While not featuring a transdimensional monster, it has grotesque imagery of bio-technological merging and mutations, which might share some thematic similarities with your description.

    However, based on the detail about “biological computers” specifically, there’s a chance it could be a smaller indie film or one outside the mainstream.

      Annihilation sounds a very good shout.

    You don’t know the name of it? That sounds like a generic 1965 B movie. .

    When you say its eye is blue, but yellow in the movie, where is it blue? A book, a comic, something else?
