Synopsis

In 1880, Sir Robert Cargrave, a London physician noted for experimental work in treating paralysis, is summoned to Gorslava by the enigmatic Baron Sardonicus—who has married Cargrave’s former wife, Maude—to address the baron’s disfigurement. Upon arriving, Cargrave discovers that the masked baron is a cruel sadist who threatens harm to Maude unless he is successfully cured.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
