Synopsis

In 1989, six-year-old Martin Bristoll was kidnapped from his backyard swing in Minersville, Pennsylvania. He was taken by Graham Sutter, a psychotic recluse who held him captive on his run-down pig farm, where Martin was forced to witness and participate in extreme acts of violence. Chosen at random, his victim's screams went largely unheard by the surrounding rural community. For five years, Martin's fate remained unknown, until 17-year-old Allison Miller moved in with her uncle, Jonathan. While exploring her new environment, Allison began to notice something was amiss at the farmhouse nearby. Her growing curiosity led her to uncover a dark history of evil and suffering that, once revealed, could not be undone.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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

2010 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 5.0× 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).
