Overview from TheMovieDB

Troublesome Night series director Yip Wai Ying returns to the horror genre in the 2018 scarefest The Cursed. Surgeon Jia'er (Annie Liu, Hungry Ghost Ritual), who grew up in an orphanage, is surprised to one day receive news of a grandmother (Nina Paw, Show Me Your Love) who just passed away. The legal letter states that she has inherited her grandmother's mansion in Malaysia. Confused about this sudden revelation, Jia'er decides to go to Malaysia with her friends Jessica and Amy to find out the truth. Along the way, she re-encounters childhood friend Suwen (Wilfred Lau, The Leakers). While arranging her grandmother's matters, strange and terrifying things begin to happen, and Jia'er sets out to uncover the secret hidden in the mansion

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
