Synopsis

In the early 18th century, cartographer Jonathan Green embarks on a scientific expedition from Europe to the East. After traveling through Transylvania and crossing the Carpathian Mountains, he arrives at a remote village deep within an impassable forest. His arrival is the result of chance and thick fog. The villagers are unlike any people he has encountered before. Having dug a deep moat to isolate themselves from the outside world, they hold a misguided belief that they can protect themselves from evil, unaware that it has already taken root within them and awaits the moment to spread beyond their borders.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 25

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.3× 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).
