Synopsis

In response to a global increase in demonic possessions, the Catholic Church reopens exorcism schools to train priests in the Rite of Exorcism. On this spiritual battlefield, an unlikely warrior emerges: a young nun, Sister Ann. Paired with fellow student Father Dante, Sister Ann is thrust into the spiritual frontline, tasked with battling for the soul of a young girl. As the conflict intensifies, she comes to realize that the Devil has her exactly where he wants her.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

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.
