With so many horror films coming out every single week, you really have to step outside the box if you’re hoping to catch the attention of the fans. Filmmaker Guy Soulsby understands that, and with Devil Makes Work he’s looking to bring something totally new to the table.
Described as a supernatural horror movie based on the stories of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Dante’s Inferno, Devil Makes Work is a low-budget short film that Soulsby has been working on for quite some time now, and he hasn’t let the lack of funds stand in the way of his vision.
“The goal was to create something that looked like a feature film, but which told a story and was also incredibly visual, dark, graphic, powerful and had great characters,” explains Soulsby, on the short’s official website. “The film took a long time to get off the ground – this was mainly due to my desire to not make just another short film.”
“There was an enormous amount of research from a variety of areas: films, books, religious sources, online, and the work of different artists. Films such as Angel Heart, Apocalypse Now, Evil Dead, Constantine, and even The Texas Chain Ssaw Massacre helped spark ideas and inspiration. Even with all these references and source materials, the aim was to create something new, a different take on familiar characters, along with creating stylised images, settings, and environments.”
