Synopsis

Jim and Brad make their annual hunting trip to the desert, but this year is different: their third partner, Paul, has died in an accident, and they've brought his nephew, Ray, in his place. Upon arrival, they find no animals to hunt, only a grizzled old-timer who joins them. When they encounter two female campers, the group begins to behave aggressively, unable to resist their animal instincts. The next morning, the women have vanished, but the strange moods and behaviors continue, shifting in increasingly ominous ways. Something has taken hold of them, exerting total control over their actions.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
