Gina, Rano’s mother, made a pact with the devil to have more wealth for her family, on condition that she has to sacrifice lives. When she fails to meet the condition on one occasion, the devil kills her family, leaving just her son, Rano. Years after, Rano and his friends, Dicky, Ocha, and Popi, decide to study in a university in Bandung. They agree to live together in a rented house that was actually Rano’s old family home. At the house, an ambulance is parked that is rumored to be haunted. Then they start to experience strange and horrifying incidents, especially since the ambulance keeps claiming victims. Finally, the secret of Rano’s family is revealed by Widya, his grandmother. Rano is sad and disappointed, especially as his friends also became victims. Rano intends to break the curse but then unexpectedly, Fiona, his ex-girlfriend, comes to visit. Rano, who loves Popi, now has to decide which of the two girls, he must sacrifice.
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.
