Synopsis

In *Chainsaw Sally*, Suzi Lorraine plays Laura Wiggington, a woman recently released from a psychiatric hospital who seeks to regain her sense of normalcy by retreating to an isolated river cottage. However, her attempt at peace is disrupted by a menacing, psychotic clown named Dissecto, who appears to stalk her with a twisted sense of humor. Laura, who has spent years among some of the most disturbed patients in the hospital, struggles to distinguish whether Dissecto is a real threat or a manifestation of her fractured mind. Her husband, Ray (Tom Stedham), had arranged the quiet getaway in hopes of helping her recover from the stress and chaos of city life. But as Dissecto's sinister presence grows, Laura's grasp on reality becomes increasingly uncertain.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 9

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.
