Plagued with guilt over the recent murder of his mother, Father Harris takes a desolate country road on his way home from a night of heavy drinking. Startled by a crippled woman in the middle of the street and with no help in sight, the priest follows her deep into the woods where a mysterious cult surrounds him but inexplicably lets him go. Haunted by visions, Father Harris further questions his faith and delves deeper into investigating the demonic cult to satisfy his own morbid curiosity. What he finds is a maelstrom of unmitigated chaos that sends him into insanity and slowly pushes him face to face with pure evil in this chilling horror thriller.
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.
