Everyone and anyone is on the chopping block in this gruesome horror flick.
There are several moments throughout Demián Rugna’s horror film When Evil Lurks where you feel the violence is coming even before it does. In one particular scene, the way it keeps cutting back to something seemingly inane outside of most of the characters' view as all of them shout in a panic is downright cruel. With every cut, the film is practically shouting what is about to happen.
This is a delightfully brutal horror film where stress is the name of the game as it takes a classic possession story and twists it into more decidedly macabre territory. It demands its pound of flesh and comes away with more than its bloody share. Where other films can pull their punches or play it a little bit safe when it comes to actual stakes, there is no mistaking that doom is always right around the corner in every frame of When Evil Lurks.
What Is 'When Evil Lurks' About? This all begins rather simply with brothers Pedro and Jimmy hearing gunshots ring out one night on a nearby farm in rural Argentina. Seeming to already know something is seriously wrong, they decide to wait until the morning to check out what exactly it is. They then find the aftermath of a gruesome killing where all that is left is a severed hand and the bottom half of a person.
'When Evil Lurks' Lays Waste to Everything When the film does dangle the possibility of them finding a way to fight back, it can start to stumble a bit as it makes the horror that surrounds them a little too well-defined. However, this is all soon water in the bridge when it is clear that these are basically only guesses at best by others who are similarly uncertain.
This all culminates in a rather Scooby-Doo-esque ending where everyone splits up with little explanation as to why except that there needs to be a way for more people to die. The precise reasons for all of this are essentially waved away as it just needs to feed the film’s hunger for death. There is a tension to how this is all staged, with a cavalcade of creepy kids lurking about, just before it caves in some heads once more.
