About BlockBuster – Film Review & Movie Database HTML Template
BlockBuster is a static HTML template for film review and movie database sites. It gives you the page designs and styling for a site about films, and you fill in the movies, reviews and text yourself. It is plain HTML, so it is not a WordPress theme or a script that stores data.
That matters for a movie site. The template will not pull in film data, search a database or let users post reviews. If you want a live catalogue, you would add a backend, or enter the content by hand. The listing doesn't state which pages it includes, so open the files in the package and review them in a browser first.
Key features
- Film review design
- Page designs aimed at reviews and movie information.
- Movie database look
- Presented as a movie database template, so layouts are for lists and detail pages.
- Plain HTML and CSS
- Edit the files in any code editor and host them on any web server.
- No platform lock-in
- It doesn't need WordPress, PHP or a database to display its pages.
- Minimal style
- Filed under HTML5 and minimal.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Developers building a static film blog or showcase site
- People who want a ready design to convert into their own CMS theme
Look elsewhere if
- A working movie database that fetches film data or accepts user reviews, since it has no backend

Frequently asked questions
Is BlockBuster a WordPress theme?
No. It is a static HTML template. To use it in WordPress you would have to convert it into a theme.
Does it pull in movie data?
No. The template supplies the design only. You enter films and reviews yourself, or add your own backend.
Can visitors post reviews?
Not with the template alone. That needs server-side code, which is not included.
Which pages does it include?
The listing doesn't say. Open the package and view each file in a browser.
