George Louis Barlett makes his directorial debut with
Demon, which he co-wrote with Theo Macdonald. The surreal drama follows
an office worker who hides out in a motel to avoid paying a train fine,
only to find himself confronted by a series of personal
demons. Ryan Walker-Edwards, Jacob Hawley, Rachel Jackson, Imola Gaspar, David
Schaal, Gary Beadle
and Jemma Redgrave star.
Demon plays online as part of Cinequest's virtual festival
Cinejoy
from March 20th to 30th, with a full UK release planned for later in the
year.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
When an unpaid train fine comes back to haunt him, office worker Ralph flees London to a forest motel where a temporary hideout becomes a nightmarish purgatory, and emerging ghosts of the past force him to confront the loss of his father.
