Through a living trust, a newlywed couple is awarded a magnificent estate with a spacious, custom-built home, pool, and spa. The property is attached to a private lake, acres of sustainable agriculture, fruit orchards, flowering botanical gardens, vegetation in abundance, and sprawling vineyards on rolling hills. To retain ownership of the homestead, the newlyweds must not violate the contingency stipulation of the land trust. Their idyllic life takes a terrifying turn when they encounter a sinister force in the forbidden area of the property, which threatens their love, their lives and their sanity. Inspired by actual events.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
