Dexter Harris, a marine biologist and devoted family man, comes home to find his wife and child murdered during a home invasion. He hopes for justice; however, his family's murderers are sentenced lightly. On the edge of a mental breakdown, he seeks the help of a psychologist, Dr. Miranda Miller, who diagnoses him with post-traumatic stress disorder. After only a couple of visits, Dr. Miller's therapeutic relationship with Dexter is on the verge of becoming compromised by Dexter's progressive mental instability. Dexter begins to mentally replace his deceased wife and child with Dr. Miller and her daughter. Finding out that Dr. Miller has a husband, Kevin Miller, infuriates Dexter and sets him on a path of destruction. Kidnapping and brutally murdering Raymond Tucker, his family's killer, he continues on this hunt and kidnaps Kevin. Suspecting that Dexter is responsible, she races against time to find Kevin before he becomes the next victim.

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.
