The Crimson Rivers
When a seasoned detective teams up with a rookie to solve a gruesome murder at an isolated mountain university, they must race against a hidden cult’s deadly secrets before the campus becomes their next killing ground.
“Evil rises to new heights.”
Synopsis
Two French police officers, one investigating a brutal murder at a remote mountain college and the other looking into the desecration of a young girl's grave by skinheads, are connected through clues from their separate cases. As they begin collaborating, more murders occur, and the pair gradually uncover the dark secrets underlying the killings.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 29
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.
