“Molder” features a Filipino immigrant living in Italy with his wife who suffers from dementia. When they meet a mysterious young Filipino man named Anthony, the woman disappears and the immigrant man’s life turns into a nightmare of physical decay, marked by necrotic skin patches and horrifying visions. He must race against time to find Anthony, whom he believes has cursed them, in order to find Agnes and lift the curse before it completely consumes him.

Dagatan became one of the international breakout filmmakers of the year with his World War II horror film“In My Mother’s Skin,”which premiered at the Midnight Section of the Sundance Film Festival, was acquired by Amazon and was ranked #6 in PvNew’s Top Horror Films of 2023.

Production is by the veteran Philippines-based Bradley Liew, and Taiwan-based Italian producer Stefano Centini.
