Humberto (Vicente Tepedino) and Gladys (Irina RodrÃguez) are celebrating their recent marriage when a dark mystery begins to haunt their happiness. Their brand-new, hard-earned car seems to have a life of its own. What they initially thought was a mechanical malfunction soon reveals itself to be something much more sinister: the vehicle is under a curse. With every unexpected turn and uncontrolled acceleration, their lives are engulfed in a wave of confusion and terror. The spell behind the car stems from the revenge of a woman with a past intertwined with Humberto's. As the vehicle inexplicably changes owners, new drivers are drawn into this madcap chase. The influence of the haunted car unleashes a chain of entanglements and unusual problems that seem unresolved.
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.
