20 New Horror Movies You MUST Watch This Halloween 2023
17. When Evil Lurks
Having enjoyed serious online buzz since its premiere at TIFF last month, critics have lauded Argentine horror When Evil Lurks as a possession movie with a difference.
As his third acclaimed feature in a row - following the riotous Terrified and Satanic Hispanics - it seemingly confirms director Demián Rugna to be a major rising talent in the genre.
Critics have generally been vague about the particulars of the plot - perhaps suggesting that Rugna's got some gnarly surprises in store for adventurous audiences - though it revolves around two brothers who discover a demon-infected man in their remote village.
The magnificently atmospheric, visually entrancing trailer certainly suggests a doozy, that's for sure.
When Evil Lurks releases on Shudder on October 27.
