Don Hall revisits one of his favorite villainous roles as UDO in DEVILS DON'T FORGET opening in January!

written and directed by Bob Fisher

“It's like Dario Argento putting flowers on the grave of Raymond Chandler” - Nick Green w/The Reader HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

"effectively creates an unsettling, paranoid atmosphere, heightened by compelling performances full of weirdness" - Zac Thompson w/The Reader

"A nightmare underworld worthy of David Lynch" - Kerry Reid w/Chicago Tribune 3 out of 4 Stars

DEVILS DON'T FORGET – An amnesiac tries desperately to not remember his past, convinced that he was an accessory to some unspeakable evil. But his amnesia provides no refuge when devils he had hoped to forget return to collect their due. Inspired by 50’s hardboiled noir as well as classic Grand Guignol, DEVILS DON'T FORGET is an atmospheric descent into a metropolis populated with Femme Fatales, Punch Drunk Gangsters, and Shadowy Figures seemingly supernatural. It is the story of a man who tries to escape a demonic global conspiracy using self induced amnesia.
