Synopsis

Laura Nelson, a journalist tormented by the memory of the serial killer who murdered her mother, investigates the only clue he leaves behind at each crime scene: pages from his diary. The bloodstained entries reference notorious killers such as Richard Ramirez, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Ed Gein, leading Laura to uncover more than she ever wanted to know about the disturbing minds of these criminals.

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.
