An evil spirit that can escape the water only by possessing a living person. The evil spirit of a child who died unjustly while waiting for his mother alone. As her younger sister Soo-ah is attacked, she and her family suffer for a long time. Her mother Geum-jeong, a spiritual shaman, was in charge of the five elements' energy. She tried to use her coexistence and antipathy to escape from the water ghost, but in the end, Soo-ah disappears into the cold, deep water, and the lives of her remaining family fall apart. Then one day, Ga-yeong went to find her mother who suddenly disappeared. She heads to the reservoir that swallowed Soo-ah, where she discovers a mysterious body. Ga-yeong is chased by a terrible evil spirit that takes the form of her dead brother…

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.
