On New Year’s Day, Kristen’s boyfriend Ivan drops her off at her father’s cafe to clean up after the night before. Then a mysterious figure starts harassing her. He calls, lurks at the door, whistles... and seems to know everything about Kristen...
"Kristen" is a claustrophobic thriller/horror about Kristen Welling, a fragile woman in her late twenties, who, on January first when cleaning the mess of last night's party, gets terrorized by an unknown person. Kristen was supposed to do this with the help of her boyfriend. But he doesn't show up or picks up his phone. In the meantime someone keeps calling Kristen asking her to step outside. This person seems to know all about her. More than anyone alive should. And when the first drop of blood is spilled and Kristen's world turns into a nightmare she has to find out who is doing this...and why.

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.
