DIABOLI | Official Animated Short Film | Dark Fantasy · Medieval Horror by One Pixel Brush

After the fall of Jerusalem, a mother’s faith is tested in a world torn apart by holy war — and haunted by the return of a Devil never before seen on Earth.

Set during the height of the Holy Crusades, DIABOLI is a dark fantasy horror short film and proof of concept for a feature-length story that explores faith, sin, and the shadows that live within us all.

From the mind of Shaddy Safadi — award-winning Director, Writer, and Founder of One Pixel Brush, the world-renowned concept art studio behind visuals for The Last of Us, Call of Duty, and Blue Beetle — DIABOLI blends cinematic realism with mythic storytelling to craft a haunting vision of humanity at the edge of belief.
