JEREMY IS THE DEVIL;

JEREMY IS THE DEVIL;
By Ryan Shovey

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE:

A failed chef, desperate to reclaim his self-worth, makes a Faustian deal with a demonic life coach: he transforms into the confident, successful man he always wanted to be, at the cost of his soul, his sanity, and his hunger for anything but living flesh.

SYNOPSIS:

David Thompson, a disillusioned and struggling chef, faces eviction and a dead-end life, marked by his self-pity and strained relationships. When his successful ex-girlfriend Angelica reconnects with him, she introduces David to Jeremy, an enigmatic and unsettling figure promising to unlock David’s potential. Hesitant but desperate, David accepts Jeremy’s offer, unknowingly embarking on a dangerous, transformative journey.

As Jeremy’s influence grows, David’s life begins to improve superficially—job offers, newfound confidence, and a sense of control. However, eerie and inexplicable events escalate, revealing the sinister cost of Jeremy’s “help.” David becomes increasingly paranoid and unhinged, plagued by nightmarish visions and an insatiable hunger that pushes him to horrifying acts, including the shocking consumption of his neighbor’s body.

David’s descent into darkness climaxes when he discovers the full extent of Jeremy’s deal and the demonic forces at play. His attempt to regain control leads to a violent confrontation with his inner demons, represented by Jeremy’s malevolent influence. Ultimately, David must choose between embracing his monstrous transformation or fighting to reclaim his humanity, a battle that leaves him forever changed—and possibly beyond redemption.
