The Devil Is In The Detail is a short horror-thriller, plunging viewers into an eerie underground bar in London on New Year’s Eve, where SCOTT, a troubled young man comes face-to-face with the enigmatic NIKOLAOS APOLLYON. A deal struck a year earlier comes due, forcing Scott into a tense, nightmarish confrontation with forces (including EURYNOMOS, a sinister barman) that seem to emerge from the darkest corners of his own mind.

Dean writes: “As writer/director, I collaborated closely with cast and crew to heighten psychological tension and character depth. Kevin McNally’s Apollyon exudes a subtle, intelligent evil, avoiding clichés of the archetypal Devil, while Dion Marcos’ Scott is mostly glimpsed in fleeting fragments until the fragile veneer of reality collapses. Chris Carcelle, Director of Photography, helped craft a visual language that amplifies unease and Lily Faith Knight’s production design transformed a central London crypt into a hellish, immersive space, grounding the surreal in tangible terror.”

At under ten minutes, the film interrogates reality, morality, and the human psyche, asking questions without providing obvious answers. True to DrAx Productions’ ethos, it is unsettling, thought-provoking, and unflinchingly captivating…an invitation to explore the bizarre, the uncanny, and the psychologically profound.
