Synopsis
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.

It's refreshing to see a film that accurately portrays children for what they really are; vessels of wickedness and harbingers of malevolence.
CinemaVoid 🏴☠️Oct 5, 2023This is the meanest horror movie I’ve ever seen. It makes Speak No Evil look like Paw Patrol. There are images I will never be able to pry from my brain. This isn’t popcorn horror. And it isn’t violence so over-the-top that you can make it abstract, make it fun. No, no.…

corey👻Oct 28, 2023This is insane. A revolting concoction of agony, despair and relentlessly violent sequences with some of the best practical effects of the decade so far. Dread from beginning to end. A film that never loses your attention while yet making you want to look away in order to…

Men are infuriating iykyk
Taylor Winters lovedWhen Evil LurksLove love love. It’s a possession film in all the best ways. It has lore, it has grizzly deaths and scenes, it’s genuinely scary, and it even has creepy kids. It checks so many horror boxes. It’s a must watch—even if you don’t like subtitles. Just get over it and watch it.
Aaron Hajduk lovedWhen Evil LurksDread, layers & layers of dread. You hope for these two brothers, somehow they will stop what’s happening in time, but the bell is tolling and it’s definitely tolling for them. Great kills & they really go there, no innocent spared. I think this will be a re-watch.
- Trash Magic Skunk is "meh" onWhen Evil Lurks
Don’t go into this with high expectations. I can’t believe how hyped up this was, and to compare it to “Speak no Evil” is absolutely criminal. The characters just ran around the whole movie. I can appreciate it being unique but it was executed so badly and I got bored
Elise Bodnyk lovedWhen Evil LurksOk I thought I couldn’t be surprised by or unsettled by horror movies anymore, I thought I was de-sensitized to it. Wow. This movie proved that wrong. Just wow.
Totally not Juvens lovedWhen Evil LurksDefinitely the must fuked up horror movie ive seen in recent times, was genuinely scary too. The negative energy and uncertainty this conveyed was brilliant. Loved it
- nyah likedWhen Evil Lurks
don’t eat & watch this movie lmao. it’s good! not super scary but it’s different from a lot of others because of the premise, making it refreshing
Hellen likedWhen Evil LurksWhen Evil Lurks was honestly a wild ride. The first half was super strong—tense, creepy, and unpredictable. The second half was still good, but the characters started making some really frustrating decisions. Like Pedro (the dad) trusting that creepy little girl he just beat up over Mirtha, the…
Matheus Antunes likedWhen Evil LurksOs dois primeiros atos são bem intrigantes, macabros e perturbadores, mas o filme se perde um pouco no terceiro ato. Pra mim, ao menos, diminuiu o impacto e peso que a trama tinha desenvolvido até o terceiro ato, deixando o final menos satisfatório

When Evil Lurks is a capital “H” horror film that risks it all and hits the jackpot, pummeling its audience into submissions and still leaving us asking for more.

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.
