Shudder's When Evil Lurks pushes the boundaries of how dark, gory, and depraved a horror movie can be.
The Big Picture Set in a remote Argentinian village, Shudder's When Evil Lurks is a Spanish-language horror movie that follows a group of residents who realize a demon is about to be set loose upon their community. Brothers Pedro and Jaime , along with local farmer Ruiz , try to get rid of the possessed villager — but that only makes things a hundred times worse.
'When Evil Lurks' Uses Animals and Children to Elevate the Horror The tropes of creepy kids in horror movies and animals on the attack are nothing new, but it's hard to think of a movie that pushes the boundaries on these well-known formulas to the extent that When Evil Lurks does. While the children in the film are shown perpetrating evil under the influence of the demon, some of them are also victims in the worst, most unimaginable ways.
Leo finally notices and gives chase, and — despite being warned not to — shoots the dog after assuming his daughter has sustained fatal injuries. Seeing every unwavering moment of a child being violently attacked — as well as yet another innocent animal meeting an unavoidable end — this way is almost unheard of. Again, creepy kids in horror are nothing new, but they're usually the ones inflicting the evil, not the ones being so brutally subjected to it.
