Synopsis

At the end of the 19th century, St. Petersburg is gripped by a wave of fascination with the occult and esoteric sciences. British medium Olivia Reed arrives in the Russian Empire's capital on a tour, drawing large crowds to her public spiritualist séances. Around the same time, a string of mysterious ritualistic murders begins to unfold in the city. Girls are kidnapped from the streets, their bodies found mutilated in various locations. The investigation is led by a young police officer, Rostov, and his assistant, Ganin. As the number of victims increases, the case becomes increasingly complex. Rostov grows suspicious of Olivia and decides to approach her, hoping that her real or imagined ability to summon the spirits of the dead might help uncover the identity of the killer.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.1× 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).
