Successful horror film writer Paul Salem (Crispin Manson) is sick and tired of churning out the same old "blood 'n' guts" script. Never could he imagine that inspiration for a new story would come so easily or be so terrifying! Out driving one night, Paul nearly runs down a young woman (Nicole Streak) being pursued by a black-cloaked killer. The two barely escape, but soon discover the maniac is hunting them down wherever they go. The traumatized woman is unable to speak, yet she seems to hold the only key to both the killer's identity and his bloodthirsty motives. And as Paul is drawn deeper into the spiraling mystery, none of his frightening works of fiction could have prepared him for this real-life horror movie and a deadly confrontation with insanity and murder
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.
