The Last House on the Left
Teenager Mari must survive a night of terror after being abducted by violent fugitives, driving her desperate parents to hunt down the killers who have taken refuge in their own secluded lake house.
“If bad people hurt someone you love, how far would you go to hurt them back?”
Synopsis
When athletic teen Mari Collingwood chooses to spend the evening with her friend Paige in town instead of staying home with her parents, who are vacationing at their remote lake house, it sets in motion a night that no one will forget.

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.2× 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).
