Red Lights
When a renowned blind psychic returns after three decades, a skeptical paranormal investigator and her eager assistant must prove he’s a fraud before his inexplicable powers shatter their scientific convictions and endanger everything they hold true.
“How much do you want to believe?”
Synopsis
Dr. Margaret Matheson, an experienced investigator of paranormal hoaxes, and her young assistant, Tom Buckley, examine a wide range of metaphysical phenomena in an effort to expose their fraudulent nature. Simon Silver, a renowned blind psychic who has mysteriously been absent for 30 years, reemerges and presents a significant challenge to both mainstream science and professional skeptics. Tom becomes increasingly fascinated by Silver, as the psychic's influence grows with each new occurrence of unexplainable events. As Tom draws closer to Silver, tensions rise, and his fundamental beliefs begin to be seriously questioned.

A crew of 90+ credited
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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 1.0× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
