Ayala Malls Cinemas is summoning horror fans to witness a terrifying tale unlike any other with the exclusive theatrical release of The Demon Disorder—a mind-bending, body-horror spectacle that slithers its way to Philippine theaters this April 9.

Directed by Steven Boyle, a renowned special effects artist known for his work on The Matrix trilogy and The Hobbit, this marks his directorial debut—and what a monstrous debut it is. Originally premiering on Shudder, the cult-favorite streaming hub for horror and supernatural fans, this fear-inducing gem now comes alive on the big screen only at Ayala Malls Cinemas.

When Blood Ties Turn into Cursed Chains

At the heart of The Demon Disorder lies a twisted family reunion. Three estranged brothers are pulled back together when the youngest becomes possessed… by their own deceased father. But this isn’t your usual ghost story. The spirit is angry, relentless, and knows every fear, secret, and scar—because he helped create them.

The terrifying patriarch is brought to life by genre favorite John Noble—a face familiar to sci-fi fans from his iconic roles in Fringe and The Lord of the Rings. Alongside him, Charles Cottier, Dirk Hunter, and Christian Willis portray the embattled siblings, delivering powerful performances steeped in raw emotion and dread.

Gore Meets Gravitas: Critics Can’t Get Enough

Critics are buzzing—and shivering—over the film’s potent mix of visceral effects and psychological horror:

“The effects in the last act are gooey, slimy and quite impressive for a low-budget film,” writes review blog Voices From the Balcony. “Boyle knew what he wanted—from an eye growing in someone’s chest to the fully grown creature that emerges from another character.”

Writes Morbidly Beautiful, “‘The Demon Disorder’ is a grotesquely beautiful addition to the horror genre. Its potent blend of body horror and emotional depth will satisfy fans of practical effects-driven nightmares.”

And according to Fiction Machine, “‘The Demon Disorder’ is a rock-solid, hugely entertaining genre piece. It knows its audience, and while it does not provide anything specifically innovative or new it demonstrates a keen understanding of audience expectations and horror conventions. Put simply: if it sounds like something you would enjoy, it almost certainly is.”
