The Faculty
Casey Connor, a struggling high school photographer, must uncover the truth behind a violent attack on the principal before it spirals into a deadly cover-up that implicates everyone from the football coach to the school's most powerful students.
“These six students are about to discover their teachers really are from another planet.”
Synopsis
At Herrington High, when unsettling and eerie events begin occurring around the school, the students uncover a terrifying truth that confirms their deepest fears: their teachers are indeed extraterrestrial beings from another planet.

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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.7× 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).
