Synopsis

In an attempt to do a favor, teenager Jeremy Campbell (Jesse Spencer) receives a strange statue from his work and stores it in his basement. He is also given a box of unusual charms and becomes intrigued by a mysterious talisman inside. Using it to his advantage, he meets Fiona (Sara Gleeson) and Miranda (Tempany Deckert) from school and gains an invitation to a Halloween party. Jeremy soon becomes convinced that the statue has come to life and produced a hibernating bat. As he tracks down the collection, a priest named Eccleston (Rob Mullinar) arrives in town to ensure the statues remain secure. The statues, in fact, contain a race of gargoyles from the Middle Ages, originally intended to destroy the world before being turned to stone. When one of the statues escapes from Jeremy's basement, it unleashes a reign of terror on the community. Realizing the gargoyles' true intentions, Jeremy and others work to stop them before they complete their mission.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
