Synopsis

When a traveling carnival arrives in a rural Nebraska town, the main attraction is a caged creature rumored to be the Jersey Devil. After the beast escapes and begins attacking and killing townspeople, local sheriff Sam Atlas organizes a team to track it down. However, the escaped predator is not Sam's only concern. The town's pastor, whose son was killed by the creature, is determined to carry out his own vengeful crusade, adding further tension to the crisis.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
