October 9, 2023 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its digital release later this month, Bulldog Film Distribution has shared a poster and trailer for the British horror-comedy The Devil Went to Down to Islington.

Directed by Daniel Wilson, the film follows two teachers (Spencer Brown and James Lance) who are forced to seek the help of an unhinged priest (Michael Smiley) as they unwittingly sell their souls to the devil on a night out. Watch the trailer below…

Set over the Halloween weekend, this thrilling and hilarious comedy-horror follows an underachieving music teacher (Spencer Brown – Nathan Barley) and his dodgy colleague (James Lance -Ted Lasso) who end a big night out by unwittingly selling their souls to the devil for three days’ good fortune.

Soon realising their grave mistake they find themselves in a race against the clock to break the deal and save their futures. But do the useless pair, aided by an unhinged priest (Michael Smiley – Kill List), stand any real chance? As obstacles, and bodies, start piling up, the hour of reckoning grows near…

Featuring in the cast of The Devil Went to Down to Islington are Spencer Brown, James Lance, Michael Smiley, Sophie Colquhoun, Dominic Coleman, Mark Benton, and Ronni Ancona 

The Devil Went to Down to Islington arrives on digital on October 23rd.
