‘I leaned into well-known horror movie tropes to build comedic suspense while playfully juxtaposing the infamous, Doomsayer in a slew of mundane activities as he confronts the real horror… nagging chores that spell less game time.’

Hal Kirkland, Director, UNIT9

UNIT9 Films director Hal Kirkland directed a darkly comedic spot to celebrate the launch of Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo IV Beta– a gaming release that’s been eleven years in the making.

The real horror that all gamers face is the nagging responsibility of household chores when there are bad guys to vanquish. Hal amplified suspense and comedic tension by capturing the game’s intimidating Doomsayer character carrying out mundane household tasks, leaving players to battle Diablo IV baddies in peace.
