Julie is trying to start a new life after the tragic and eerie death of her possessive and domineering husband. After returning home, she is plagued by terrifying supernatural occurrences. A medium arrives at the house with a message from beyond, but Julie dismisses her warning.
You may wonder what you have let yourself in for when the opening credits roll as the jaunty music and narrator might give you the impression you are about to watch an American game show. The film itself is actually quite a serious and sober ghost story covering nearly every aspect of the paranormal. Ghosts and poltergeists abound to begin with together with mediums and materialisations followed by Kirlian photography, auras,the 'silver cord' and astral projection. Unfortunately the photography is so dark that it's often difficult to see what's going on and often the muffled and muddled dubbing makes it doubly difficult. If you can get through it there are some nice atmospheric visuals toward the end.
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.
