The Reaping

A skeptical former missionary sets out to expose a string of biblical plagues as hoaxes in a Louisiana town, only to confront forces that defy science and force her to reclaim her faith before the ancient evil consumes everyone.

“Thousands of years ago, there was a series of bizarre occurrences that many believe to have been the Ten Biblical Plagues. No one thought they could happen again. Until now.”

Synopsis

Katherine Morrissey, a former Christian missionary, lost her faith following the tragic deaths of her family. She now uses her knowledge to investigate and debunk religious phenomena. When a series of biblical plagues strike a small town, Katherine arrives to demonstrate that a supernatural cause is not responsible. However, she soon discovers that scientific explanations are insufficient to account for the events. In the end, she must rediscover her faith to confront the evil lurking in a Louisiana swamp.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 24

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

2007 · Box office

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.6× 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).
