Very Bad Things
A groom‑to‑be’s wild Vegas bachelor party spirals into a deadly cover‑up when a stripper is found dead, forcing him and his friends to conceal the murder before his wedding day.
“They've been bad. Very bad.”
Synopsis
Kyle Fisher has one final night to celebrate his life as a single man before marrying Laura, so he heads to Vegas with four of his best friends. However, a night of drugs, alcohol, and a stripper who becomes intimate turns into a grim morning in the desert when the stripper is found dead in their hotel bathroom, her body placed in a body bag. This is only the first of several deaths that occur before Kyle can walk down the aisle.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 29
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 0.3× 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).
