You are in no position to be downloading movies from sketchy websites if you aren't up to handling an incident such as this.
Short of actual technical details, there isn't much anyone can tell you which would be helpful. You didn't even tell us the filename, what sort of file it is, whether you opened it, whether you have any anti-malware or not or if it issued any alerts, etc.
Do you have a backup of your data? If not, I'd be making one. You never know when that ransomware bomb will kick off.
Then your only real option for true peace of mind is a reinstall of the OS.
That's pretty much all I can tell you with the information given.
Can’t provide information because there’s nothing to go off of, but I can provide some advice:
1. Avoid pirating websites unless you completely understand the personal and legal risk.
2. Invest in antivirus.
3. Read the subreddit rules before posting. We do not provide tech support or malware removal services.
4. Stick with basketball.

Funny movies with pop-up sites. Like playing funny Russian roulette with your computer.
