Described as “uniquely grisly” (Austin Chronicle) and “dark and timely” (New York Times), the latest film from writer-director Demián Rugna, When Evil Lurks, is a chilling shocker that follows two brothers, Pedro and Jaime, as they confront a demonic presence threatening their remote village in the Argentine Andes. After discovering a man on the brink of possession, they attempt to eliminate the threat, only to inadvertently unleash chaos upon their community. As the supernatural plague spreads, Pedro and Jaime must navigate a terrifying ordeal to protect their loved ones and their land. The top-grossing Argentine horror film of all time, it is a profoundly unsettling and ghastly addition to the possession genre.
