Jolt is a period film that takes place in 1888. It’s about a grandfather, Dr. Frankenstein, and his granddaughter, Lisette. They both live in the countryside of France. Isolated from society, Dr. Frankestien spends most of his days in his lab working on a serum that is only useful when combined with the power electricity to bring back the dead. After years of failed trials, he is finally successful in bringing back to an bird back to life. A crow. Ecstatic of his magnificent discovery, an evil vampire has been in the shadows observing all his failed and now successful attempts. Unfortunately, in the process, Dr. Frankenstein loses his only living granddaughter, but not until he dares to attempt using the serum on her.
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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
