When the skeletons of four young women found buried in a forest north of Copenhagen pulled the ambitious and headstrong Deputy Superintendent Katrine Ries Jensen (Laura Bach) with the intellectual and humanly hostile legal psychiatrist Thomas Schaeffer (Jakob Cedergren) into a dangerous quest in the history of Denmark first serial killer. An offender who kills out of a pattern that is not readily explainable. Katrine and Thomas proves to be a strong, but mismatched couple whose approach and methods often differ from the conventional police investigation. Their search brings them close to the offender. So close to Katrine with his emotional and vengeful behavior unknowingly expose themselves to the offender and hence qualifies as the perfect next victim. For both Thomas and Katherine challenge will be to see the person behind the monster. For only when they understand the fantasies and traumas that operates the perpetrator, they are able to confront.
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.
