Overview from Open Movies

Veronica (Isabelle Daza), Valerie (Beauty Gonzales) and Venus (Elisse Joson) are three adventurous and sometimes mischievous sisters with their own Vlog channel. Together with their friends: Abi (Aiko Climaco), Gina (Sunshine Garcia) and Lani (Analyn Barro), they decide to go on vacation in the town of "Kalimliman". Incidentally, their uncle, Anding (Niño Mulach) is the town Mayor. Mayor Anding has tour guides assigned to promote tourism in his town. He selects Badong (Paolo Contis) and Entoy (Archie Alemania); his top tour guides; as the official guardians for the visiting girls. Badong and Entoy are getting increasingly frustrated with the meager amount of money that they are getting from their tour guide work. They are constantly coming up with plans to earn more cash. During their stay, the five girls hear about the infamous "Forbidden Island", located somewhere near the town. This island so remote that Mayor Anding has banned all travel to it. The girls ask Badong and Entoy to bring them there so that they can produce a prank video to trick their Vlog's viewers into thinking that they got lost while on vacation. Badong and Entoy agree to the girls' request, provided that they get ample payment for their services. Upon reaching the island, the group discover that weird and horrific experiments were done to the island's former residents; turning them into bloodthirsty zombies. The supposedly prank video project has now become a real-life race to escape the island with their lives. Will they be able to outwit, outlast and escape the zombies or will they become new members of the living dead?

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.

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.
