Olivia Cordell talks to director of BURY THE DEVIL, Adam O'Brain, just before his premiere in the Glasgow Film Theatre as part of FrightFest Glasgow 2026
When a hospice nurse finds herself trapped with a dementia patient, she suspects something else is wrong with the woman, that she is harbouring dark secrets, something otherworldly, and must fight to survive the night. Opting for an ambitious single-take approach to the supernatural-tinged home invasion tale, director Adam O’Brien ratchets up the tension to depict the most harrowing 86 minutes of the nurse’s life. Putting the viewer in the terrifying action from the start, taking every step and misstep, the unravelling mystery makes for a fun, twisty roller-coaster ride that puts a new spin on the exorcism genre.
