A zombie appears in the Bao family in Hangzhou, claiming to be the ancestor of the Bao family and asking the family to move out immediately. The family is confused and calls their children and grandchildren to discuss the matter. After the departure of the old family member, Feng Lao, the vampire has become even more aggressive, and the orphaned man, Yisheng, who has been taken in by the family, is scared to death by the vampire, so the three daughters, Peifen, write a letter to ask their friend, Zhuji Jianping, to come and help them. At the request of a man in black, the family moves out, leaving only Yat-sang and Cheung Tai-hon behind.
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.
