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 clich�s 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.
