When Evil Lurks

When two brothers find a mutilated corpse on their property, they have no idea they are dealing with something far worse than a deranged killer on the loose. Their hometown and everyone they care about are threatened by an all-encompassing evil quietly and stealthily preparing to enter the world and take it over. Argentinian film When Evil Lurks may remind seasoned horror fans of the cult hit It Follows or last year’s surprise Smile. Director Demián Rugna combines an intimate narrative with extreme brutality that bends the unwritten rules of the genre and can shake up even seasoned viewers in certain scenes.
