Twisted
A newly promoted homicide inspector races to solve a string of murders that seem linked to her own past lovers, only to confront the terrifying possibility that she might be the killer she's hunting.
“Every murder has a mark.”
Synopsis
Inspector Jessica Shepard, recently promoted and transferred to the homicide division, feels the need to prove herself. Determined to make an impact, she takes on the investigation of San Francisco's latest murder. However, as she and her partner, Mike Delmarco, dig deeper, they uncover that the victim had a romantic connection to Shepard. As more of her former lovers are found dead, Shepard's mental state begins to unravel, leaving her questioning whether she might actually be the killer she is trying to catch.

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 0.8× 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).
