Synopsis

After a car accident, criminal psychologist Dr. Miranda Grey wakes up to find herself a patient at the same mental institution where she works. She has been accused of murdering her husband, Dr. Douglas Grey, though she has no memory of committing the crime. As she attempts to recover her memory and prove her innocence to her colleague, Dr. Pete Graham, a vengeful spirit begins using her as a vessel, reinforcing the belief that she is guilty.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 36

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.

Box Office

Made its money back — grossed 3.5× 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).
