A young girl, Suli, marries a young man, Zhengli. After the marriage, Su Li realizes that her husband is acting strangely, so she follows him to Zheng Li's former home and encounters a series of strange events. Finally, Su Li learns from her nanny, Wang Ma, that the house was haunted three years ago, and that Zheng Li's sister-in-law, Li Zhen, was forced by a ghost to hang herself from a beam, and that Zheng Li's brother came back as a madman. The day after Su Li learns of all this, the bookkeeper Lao Wang is killed again, and next, the nursemaid is also brutally murdered. Suli knows she is in danger and wants to leave immediately, but Zhengli does not agree. Suli is in danger several times, but fortunately saved, and finally finds the real killer, and kills him because he is full of evil!
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.
