Synopsis

A complex mystery centers on a renowned mentalist, his unfaithful wife, who attempts to literally scare him to death, the family's best friend, and the wife's ham-actor lover. The film is not only an engaging who—or whether—dunit but also a sophisticated, adult dramatic puzzle featuring an endless series of twists.

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.
