Synopsis

Tony Washington is killed in a hit‑and‑run after he saves the clerk of a local bodega from robbers. Haitian voodou practitioner Molly Mokembe revives him as a zombi, fulfilling a debt owed by Tony’s late father and an act of sacrifice that saved her. Jimbo, the youth who shot Tony, begins to experience new sadistic impulses. The story then follows a quest for revenge that can be satisfied only after all individuals who were with Jimbo on that night have received their due.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
