Ayşin, a young teacher, conducts internet research on the village to which she has been assigned and comes across terrifying news stories about incidents involving jinns in the past. At a farewell party organized for Ayşin by her friends, a discussion on this topic turns into an argument, and a session of summoning jinns with a cup leads to tense and frightening moments from which there is no escape. Ayşin arrives at the village only at night and, after a short journey filled with uneasy and mysterious moments, stays as a guest with Fatma Ana. Ayşin learns from Fatma Ana that the village is preparing for a wedding. After falling asleep on the first night, Ayşin wakes up each time to relive the night, experiencing three nights filled with terrifying and tense nightmares so convincing she cannot distinguish them from reality. Ayşin, who tries to escape the village, will realize that the wedding preparations are being made for her own torment.
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.
