More About "To Hell With You":
A fresh-faced college graduate named Brennan is full of hope, promise, and an obnoxious demon named Doyle. After a failed exorcism leads to Brennan’s untimely demise, his possessor is eager to steal his soul away to Hell to fill a quota. But an audacious angel, Esme, arrives just in time to stop Doyle from completing the heinous act, leaving Brennan to exist as a ghost in limbo while they sort things out. Since Brennan died while being possessed, his soul is Doyle’s to claim unless he can convince the stubborn demon to let him go. Esme insists that Brennan has led a good life but Doyle believes Brennan should share the guilt, and the punishment, for the sins of his serial killer father. With eternity at stake, Brennan is caught between a moral quandary of whether or not he truly deserves salvation, or damnation.
Director’s Statement:
The initial idea for this film was inspired by the cartoons I’d watched as a kid where a character would seek counsel from an angel and a demon hanging out on their shoulders. I wanted to take an extraordinary situation with all of these radically different characters, lock them in a room, and force them into having a conversation. Underneath all of the blood and cursing, I think there’s also a lot of heart. For me, it’s the idea that we don’t have to be defined by the negative circumstances that might surround our lives. For three characters that couldn’t be more different, they begin to realize they’re also quite similar, not unlike how the genres of horror and comedy are both unique in their own right but can work wonderfully together. I found a lot of joy in shaping that journey and I hope it all culminates into an entertaining, twisted, and maybe even a little sweet experience for audiences.
