Hangman
“Let the Games Begin.”
Synopsis
*Hangman* follows a string of murders in which victims are hanged using a noose, a method that proves fatal when the support is removed rather than the rope being pulled taut. The killings are linked to an online game of "Hangman," with the words used in the game connected in some way to the victims. Detective Roos (LDP) investigates the case and becomes drawn to Grace Mitchell (Madchen Amick), who is somehow connected to all the victims. The film is described as a story of pure vengeance, targeting those who have burdened the killer's mind.

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.
