The Pale Blue Eye
Retired detective Augustus Landor teams up with Edgar Allan Poe to uncover a dark ritual behind a series of gruesome murders at the U.S. Military Academy, even as his personal demons and missing daughter threaten to derail the case.
“Every heart tells a tale.”
Synopsis
In 1830 at West Point, New York, a cadet at the growing military academy is discovered hanged with his heart removed. The academy's leadership calls upon former New York City constable Augustus Landor to investigate the disturbing case. In his efforts to solve the macabre mystery, Landor enlists the assistance of one of the cadets: an unusual yet highly intelligent young man named Edgar Allan Poe.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 36
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.
