Synopsis

A young rookie cop and his team uncover dismembered female bodies in Los Angeles that bear similarities to the Black Dahlia cold case from 1947. The killings appear to be the work of a serial killer imitating the brutal murder of 1940s Hollywood starlet Betty Short. As the investigation progresses, it leads the officer to a terrifying lair of death and torture, where the killer is attempting to bring a horrifying fantasy to life.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.
