Synopsis

After being suspended from his university position due to his unconventional theories, Professor John Venkenheim takes a documentary film crew to the Arctic Circle in an attempt to restore his academic credibility. Venkenheim believes that Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" is not a work of fiction, but a disguised account of real events. In the remote, icy terrain, he and his team seek the legendary creature described in the story, a being shrouded in mystery and violence. What they uncover is a horrifying reality far more disturbing than any fictional tale—a nightmare with no escape.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
