Synopsis

Reb Halland, a figure from the Wild West era, made a pact with the devil to achieve immortality along with his gang. Preacher McCready attempts to safeguard a small town by placing five totems in the shape of a pinnacle around it. One day, a collector passing through the town notices one of the totems embedded in the ground and decides to remove it. When the man pulls the totem from the earth, Halland and his gang arrive and begin killing the townspeople. The story shifts to the present day, where a group of college students, returning home from a debate contest in another city, find themselves stranded in the town. They soon become targets, being murdered one by one, and must uncover the town's secret to stop Halland and his gang.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
