Steve Boyle.

In this episode of the Cinema Australia Podcast, I’m joined by The Demon Disorder director, writer, producer and special effects artist Steve Boyle. 

The Demon Disorder follows brothers Jake (played by Dirk Hunter) and Graham (played by Christian Willis). When their youngest brother is believed to be demonically possessed, the estranged brothers reunite to confront a dreadful family secret. Charles Cottier, John Noble and Tobie Webster co-star. In my opinion, The Demon Disorder features some of the best practical effects you’ll see in a modern horror film. 

Working with some of the biggest names in film and television, Steve Boyle has built a reputation for world-class standards in Special FX Production within the industry.

In this interview, Steve gives us a great insight into the making of The Demon Disorder while sharing stories from his long career in the industry including his friendship and creative partnership with Michael and Peter Spierig, his time working on Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, and his upcoming work on Kiah Roache Turner’s highly anticipated shark horror, Beast of War.

The Demon Disorder will screen at the Melbourne International Film Festival from August 21 until August 24. The film will be available to stream on Shudder later this year. 

Anyway… Enjoy.
