Synopsis

Sarah returns to the family's longtime summerhouse with her father and uncle to repair the damage caused by squatters who had occupied the property during the off-season. As they work inside the dimly lit, boarded-up building, Sarah starts to hear strange noises coming from within the walls. Though she has only vague memories of the place, she begins to feel that the past may still linger within the home.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.

Box Office

2011 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 6.6× 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).
