Dreamcatcher
Four childhood friends on a remote Maine hunting trip must confront a nightmarish alien infestation that hijacks their minds, racing to stop the parasitic threat before it consumes them and the world.
“Evil slips through.”
Synopsis
Four childhood friends reunite for a hunting trip in the Maine woods, bound by a psychic force originating from a childhood friend's dreamcatcher. They become entangled in a grotesque alien invasion that distorts memory, sanity, and reality into something far more sinister.

A crew of 274+ credited
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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.2× 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).
