The Mystery of Dipyramidion UNLEASHES COSMIC SCIENCE FICTION
Prepare to step sideways into something stranger.
From producer and genre actor Nathan Head, co-star of Netflix’s Robert and the Toymaker and the upcoming Dracula: Rise of the Vampire, comes an eccentric new leap into the bizarre: The Mystery of Dipyramidion, a surreal, found-footage adventure blending absurd comedy, retro sci-fi, and psychedelic fantasy in a kaleidoscopic indie ride through the multiverse.
Head, long a familiar face in horror titles, both stars in and produces the film, describing it as:
“A wild creative leap, going from horror into sci-fi/comedy has been an incredible challenge. There’s still mystery and cosmic strangeness, but also ridiculous characters, jaw-dropping worlds, and an offbeat sense of fun. If you like your sci-fi weird and unpredictable, you’ll feel right at home.”
At its core, The Mystery of Dipyramidion follows a bumbling amateur historian who discovers the “sky key,” an ancient relic once owned by Alexander the Great that opens doorways across worlds. What begins as a homemade documentary spirals into a chaotic interdimensional road trip through haunted forests, glitching digital realms, parallel timelines, and unpredictable ley line portals.
It may be a sci-fi adventure at heart, but The Mystery of Dipyramidion finds Nathan Head, who chilled audiences as killer clown Triculo Moreau in Andrew Jones’s 2014 horror Theatre of Fear aka The Midnight Horror Show, still knowing his way around a scare:
“I’m be diving into fantasy, but my horror roots run deep. Expect eerie moments, creatures from legend, monsters out of time, and a few sharp twists, just enough to raise goosebumps. After all, once you’ve played a killer clown, you never really hang up the oversized shoes.”
As well as Nathan Head, the cast features a mix of cult favourites including Clint Beaver, of Waspzilla and Amityville Hex fame, as arrogant millionaire collector Beau Remington III, and drag sensation Bunny Galore as the fabulously dangerous social media sensation Lady Roxy, also boasting cameos from Australia’s Got Talent season 7 finalist Seaton Kay-Smith; B-movie powerhouse James Balsamo; popular YouTuber Jamie Powell; and award-winning actress Frances Broudie Oldridge (Deadly Blue). Also appearing is long-time Head collaborator Keiron Hollett, star and director of the upcoming Blood Curse duology and spinoff, PA39: The Halloween Broadcast.
Shot in a hybrid of mockumentary and found-footage styles, The Mystery of Dipyramidion blends analogue aesthetics with digital mayhem, and walks a fine line between cosmic dread and comedic absurdity.
SYNOPSIS
A bumbling amateur historian stumbles across a cosmic relic that opens doorways to other worlds, launching him on a madcap journey through bizarre dimensions, ancient mysteries, hidden conspiracies, and internet-fuelled chaos.
When an eccentric self-taught researcher discovers an ancient artefact known as the “sky key,” he unlocks far more than he bargained for, quite literally. What begins as a low-budget documentary spirals into a chaotic odyssey across parallel worlds, haunted castles, ley line portals, and interdimensional beaches, all filmed through the eyes of a man whose curiosity outweighs his competence. The Mystery of Dipyramidion is a cosmic comedy-fantasy with found-footage flair and a taste for the absurd, all captured through a barely-held-together camera rig. Dipyramidion is a love letter to eccentricity, and the belief that maybe, just maybe, there’s something wondrous behind that locked bathroom door.
