A father takes his daughter, who is traumatized by demon attacks, in a rest house in time for holy week. He enlists the help of his spiritual healer cousin to protect her from evil. But as they go nearer to Good Friday, the dark force intensifies.
Biyernes Santo follows Roy Asuncion, a former Senator who brings his daughter Aurora to a rest house in a distant province for the Holy Week. Aurora is still traumatized a year later after her mother died in a gruesome supernatural attack. The senator enlists the help of his distant cousin and a young, talented spiritual healer Grace to protect Aurora from dark forces that seem to haunt his family every Holy Week. As the week progresses, Roy, Aurora and Grace lock themselves inside the rest house which had been prepared to protect them from demonic attacks from past experience. By Good Friday, the evil forces intensify - with Jesus dead - forcing Roy and Grace to overcome their personal differences in order to protect Aurora.

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.
