The Mystery Of Dipyramidion is a genre-bending, slightly unhinged journey that starts as a documentary-style investigation into a mysterious ancient artefact… and then quietly falls through reality. Think part mystery, part sci-fi, part surreal road trip, with a sense of humour about its own obsession.
Now you can delve into The Mystery Of Dipyramidion by watching the film on Fawesome.
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. Along the way, his obsession draws him through portals and pitfalls, with a colourful cast of bizarre creatures and shadowy beings adding fuel to the madness. The Mystery Of Dipyramidion is a cosmic comedy-fantasy with found footage and the absurd, all captured through a barely-held-together camera rig.
Step through the gateway of The Mystery Of Dipyramidion, a riotously inventive comedy-fantasy shot in a DIY found-footage style that turns amateur curiosity into interdimensional adventure. At its centre is a hapless yet enthusiastic protagonist who fumbles his way through ley lines, ancient texts, and mysterious artefacts in a quest that’s as chaotic as it is cosmic. The film features unforgettable characters, including Beau Remington III, an arrogant but charming millionaire collector, and the flamboyant social media sensation Lady Roxy, whose obsession with beautiful things may run deeper than it seems. Expect wild tonal shifts, surreal humour, giant bees, haunted castles, floating jellyfish, playful saurians and a surprising amount of ley line geometry. Some doors, it turns out, are meant to stay shut. The Mystery Of Dipyramidion is a love letter to eccentricity, analogue energy, and the belief that maybe, just maybe, there’s something wondrous behind that locked bathroom door.
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.
