Hour of the Wolf
A tormented painter retreats to a remote island with his pregnant wife, only to battle nightmarish visions and sleepless madness that threaten to destroy his sanity and their future.
“The hour of the wolf is the hour between night and dawn. It is the hour when most people die, when sleep is the deepest, when nightmares feel most real.”
Synopsis
An artist experiences an emotional breakdown while vacationing on a remote German island with his younger, pregnant wife, as he confronts his repressed desires.

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.
