NATIONAL PREMIERES
The Demon Disorder (AU)
This demonic family drama centers on Graham (Christian Willis, Home and Away, Deadbeat Dads), a man haunted by his past since the death of his father (John Noble, “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, Fringe) and estrangement from his two brothers. Jake (Dirk Hunter, Irreverent, Upright), the middle brother, contacts Graham, claiming that something is horribly wrong: their youngest brother, Phillip (Charles Cottier, Wanted, Home and Away), is possessed by their deceased father. Graham reluctantly agrees to go and see for himself. With the three brothers back together, they soon realize that 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, a Shudder Original Film, premieres in the US, Canada, UK, and Ireland on Friday, September 6, exclusively on Shudder and its digital channels, including Shudder on Prime Channels.
