THE DEMON DISORDER is out on Shudder from Sep. 6 and you have one hell of a treat in store. This movie is full of deliciously creepy practical effects and features a simple, but very efficient, story.

A family affair indeed
In this delicious new Australian demonic family drama, we meet three brothers each working through the death of their father in different ways. Of course, his death was also a very violent and wild experience for the brothers.
When it looks like their youngest brother Phillip is now possessed by their deceased father, the two older brothers come together to help.
With all three brothers back together, they will come to learn that the sins of their past will not stay hidden. However, they are not about to back down from yet another battle against pure evil.
Perfectly cast
While the practical effects seen in The Demon Disorder easily make the biggest impact, it all comes together and works as well as it does thanks to the cast. This is a perfectly cast horror movie and the combination of story, effects, and cast is brilliant.
From John Noble (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Conjuring 3) as the father to brothers portrayed by Charles Cottier (The Pet Killer), Christian Willis (The School), and Dirk Hunter (Irreverent), it all just comes together perfectly.
Even the smaller supporting roles are cast wonderfully with Tobie Webster as the mechanic Cole and Amy Ingram (Boy Swallows Universe) as a police officer.
