Teeth

“Every rose has its thorns.”
Synopsis
Dawn is an active member of her high school's chastity club, but her involvement shifts when she meets Tobey. Their relationship quickly progresses, leading to a sexual encounter that takes a violent turn, as Dawn is revealed to be a living embodiment of the vagina dentata myth.

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.
