Shudder has announced a release date for The Demon Disorder, which marks the feature directorial debut of special effects maestro Stephen Boyle (The Matrix, King Kong). Mark your calendars, horror loves, as the film will premiere on the streaming service on Friday, September 6. Mark your calendars and plan accordingly. In addition to the release date, Shudder has also unveiled a bunch of new images from the film, which you can check out below.
The photos offer a look into the grim, bloody possession horror coming our way this fall. It offers merely a taste of what Boyle has in store for us, to go along with the teaser trailer for Demon Disorder that was released earlier this year. We’ve also got a poster for you to check out, which includes the ominous tagline, “There is no cure.” They synopsis for the film reads as follows:
“The Australian demonic family drama centers on Graham, a man haunted by his past since the death of his father and the estrangement from his two brothers. Jake, the middle brother, contacts Graham claiming that something is horribly wrong: their youngest brother Phillip is possessed by their deceased father. Graham reluctantly agrees to go and see for himself. With the three brothers back together, they soon realize they are unprepared for the forces against them and learn that the sins of their past will not stay hidden. But how do you defeat a presence that knows you inside and out? An anger so powerful it refuses to stay dead?”
“The Demon Disorder is an elevated genre piece with real-world relationships and family dynamics,” Boyle exclusively told Fango last year during the film’s production. “It combines elements of early David Cronenberg and body horror crafted through elaborate visual effects sequences. Audiences can expect something fresh. It’s disturbing, it’s humorous, and I promise it will have people talking about what they’ve just witnessed long after it finishes.”
The cast includes John Noble (The Lord of the Rings), Charles Cottier (The Pet Killer), Christian Willis (Home and Away) and Dirk Hunter (Irreverent). Boyle co-wrote the screenplay with Toby Osborne (Pindam). Boyle also serves as a producer alongside Ally Muller, with Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig, aka The Spierig Brothers, on board as executive producers.
