Fear
A naive college student falls for an irresistibly charming stranger, only to discover his seductive façade hides a violent sociopath who will stop at nothing to control her world.
“Together forever. Or else.”
Synopsis
Nicole Walker dreams of being swept away by someone special — someone strong, sexy, and sensitive who would care for her more than anything else in the world. David embodies these qualities and more: a modern-day knight who charms and seduces her, body and soul. However, her perfect boyfriend is not all he seems to be. His sweet facade masks a savage, dark side that will soon transform Nicole's dream into a nightmare.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 30
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.
