20 Awesome Recent Horror Movies You'll Never Watch Again
19. When Evil Lurks
When Evil Lurks deserves a whole ton of credit for being a rare horror film to do something truly different with the possession movie, but even more than that, writer-director Demián Rugna's utterly fearless storytelling hits with sledgehammer force.
A mesmerising exercise in dread not unlike Bring Her Back, When Evil Lurks holds nothing at bay with its savagely brutal death scenes that test the boundaries of viewer taste.
Even gore-hounds might twitch at some of the deeply unpleasant sights in this movie, though, because there's a strong streak of cruelty cutting through it all.
This isn't a fun, schlocky studio-produced thrill-ride for the multiplexes - it's a dark, sad piece of work that'll rattle you to your core. And so, it tracks that most folk won't want to endure it more than once.
Rugna is currently developing a sequel, though, so it'll be interesting to see if he can (somehow) make an even more offputting (complimentary) film.
