Synopsis

A group of complete strangers becomes stranded at a remote desert motel during a violent storm, only to discover they are being hunted by a deranged murderer. As the storm rages on, the group's numbers dwindle, and tensions rise as the survivors grow increasingly suspicious of one another, each trying to uncover the identity of the killer.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 169+ credited

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

2003 · Box office

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.2× 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).
