Synopsis

In 1974, the Maynard family moves into their dream home in Yorkshire. What begins as a hopeful new chapter quickly turns into a terrifying ordeal as the family uncovers a disturbing reality that will be recorded in history. The house is already inhabited by the most violent poltergeist ever documented, a force capable of pulling people from their beds while they sleep and dragging them into the darkness.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
