Synopsis

Tom Riley believed he had secured an excellent opportunity when he purchased a house at a Sheriff's sale for below market value. He invested all his available funds with the intention of renovating and reselling the property for a profit. However, after taking ownership, he began experiencing unusual occurrences, which were recorded by 21 surveillance cameras installed throughout the home, both indoors and outdoors. Initially suspecting break-ins, Riley eventually came to the realization that he was encountering something paranormal.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 367× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
