Working on his latest book, novelist Colin May becomes incapable of separating fact from fiction and within weeks of moving into his new home in the Hollywood Hills, he begins to hear voices, see images, often waking up to a distant deep calling from somewhere on the property. Colin’s novel, a masterpiece, grows in its intensity as his imagination and terror wreck havoc with his grasp on reality. All those around him, his nephew, his agent, his husband try desperately to help Colin return to reality, but the calling, the voices from the house's bomb shelter are growing louder, louder, louder. As Colin battles the demons in his head, he finishes the final chapter of the book with a climactic and terrifying meeting of an old acquaintance in the bomb shelter.
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.
