From the film-maker:

 

In Bartolomé Bermejo's 'Saint Michael triumphs over the Devil' the archangel Michael is shown about to slay the Devil, an uncomfortably irresistible and mischievous-looking creature. These characters are defined by their conflict. Using this as a starting point I thought it would be interesting to twist the story - to subvert the status in this power struggle and put the devil back on top. The resulting film 'Devil in Me' puts the audience in the place of Saint Michael as he is attacked by the devil. Predatory and provocative, the Devil addresses us directly in song.
