When Katie Blackwell and her husband, Will, move into their first home, life appears to be on track until terrifying nightmares and violent hauntings leave the two at odds with one another. Will soon finds Katie sleepwalking and painting a grotesque portrait in her sleep. Katie doesn't remember any of it, but now finds herself compelled to complete portrait at any and all costs. Will decides to investigate the matter with the help of his friend Howard as they unravel a macabre mystery from the 1840's involving black magic and resurrection.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

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.
