Synopsis

Three women find themselves trapped when they learn that two men will go to any lengths to please their mother, whose twisted approval is earned by watching her sons commit acts of rape and murder. The women are now prisoners, reduced to pawns in a brutal game of checkers between the two men and their deranged mother. The central question becomes whether any of them can escape—and do so while still alive.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
