When Evil Lurks

Horror

Available on VOD: 6 maart 2025

Director: Demián Rugna

Cast: Ezequiel Rodríguez, Demián Salomón, Silvina Sabater

When brothers Pedro (Ezequiel Rodríguez) and Jimmy (Demián Salomón) discover that a demonic infection has been festering in a nearby farmhouse — its very proximity poisoning the local livestock — they attempt to evict the victim from their land. Failing to adhere to the proper rites of exorcism, their reckless actions inadvertently trigger an epidemic of possessions across their rural community. Now they must outrun an encroaching evil as it corrupts and mutilates everyone it is exposed to, and enlist the aid of a wizened “cleaner,” who holds the only tools that can stop this supernatural plague.

• Jan “Mr. Horror” Doense zegt: “De beste horrorfilm van het jaar. Punt. Ik heb in tijden geen film gezien die zó onder de huid kruipt en die zulke effectieve en brute jump scares bevat.”
• Schokkendnieuws.nl: When Evil Lurks is voor de geharde horrorfan die geen kotszakje nodig heeft.
• DeFilmRecensent.nl: When Evil Lurks is niet alleen anders maar ook gewoon goed. Rugna legt in het begin niets uit en laat het verhaal zichzelf vertellen. De actie is snel op niveau en dan gaat When Evil Lurks er volledig voor.
• Modernmyths.nl: Gruwelijk goede Argentijnse horror. Buiten al het demonisch geweld en de grimmige shots is When Evil Lurks ook gewoon fun.
• Slashfilm.com: This is a movie that is both familiar and fresh. Scary, yes, but mostly disturbing, gory, smart, quite expansive, and all around created in the bowels of hell itself.
• Nytimes.com: A dark and timely parable about what happens when trust - among community members, within families, between a government and its people - disintegrates.
• MovieNation: One of the most original horror films of recent memory and a pretty convincing argument to turn out the lights when you’re not using them.
• Polygon.com: 2023’s most unnerving horror release.
• RogerEbert.com: Gets great power from occasionally dropping into gory, gnarly insanity. It’s an admirably vicious piece of work.
• Eyeforfilm.co.uk: Will haunt viewers, like the awful suffering of the characters, long after the film is over.
• Inverse.com: A possession thriller unlike any that you’ve likely seen before... It's one of the boldest, most viscerally intense, and unpredictable horror movies of the year.
