The Last Exorcism
A cynical preacher sets out with a film crew to expose exorcisms as fraud, only to confront a genuine, terrifying evil on a remote Louisiana farm that threatens his faith and sanity.
“Believe In Him.”
Synopsis
Reverend Marcus, after years of performing "exorcisms" and collecting money from believers, travels to rural Louisiana with a film crew to debunk what he views as the myth of demonic possession. Confident that this will be another routine "exorcism" involving a disturbed religious fanatic, he instead encounters the blood-soaked farm of the Sweetzer family and confronts a true evil beyond his imagination.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 30
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 hit — grossed 39× 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).
