The police find a burnt body in an abandoned mansion in the middle of the Radvaň housing estate in Banská Bystrica. Student Jana has a feeling that it is her ex, whom she has not been able to reach after the holidays. Moreover, she sees strange shadows in the window of the mansion at night. Her roommate, film student Elena, goes to the mansion with Kamil and a camera to investigate further. Strange noises are heard in the mansion, and for inexplicable reasons something falls next to them. This convinces them to investigate the mansion more seriously. Jana and four roommates from the mansion, equipped with cameras and walkie-talkies, occupy the mansion for the night in order to focus on special camera phenomena. Little do they know that what they will face in the next few hours will be beyond their understanding and their own existence. The situation gets out of control and it seems that the only evidence of the events of that evening is found on the camera recordings.
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.
