The highly anticipated release of the supernatural horror film When Evil Lurks is just days away from opening in theaters.
“The film follows two brothers who find a mutilated corpse near their property and convene with the locals to suss it out. They learn that the odd happenings in their village are the cause of a spirit that’s found its way into a local man waiting for the proper protocols to rid his body of the festering demon. An escape attempt ensues as the film keeps its protagonists on edge, racing against imminent danger to shake the spirit’s relentless clutches.”
Director Demián Rugna’s frightening film made its World Premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, and marks his second feature following his electrifying Terrified, which won Best Horror Feature at Fantastic Fest 2017.
The cast is led by Ezequiel Rodriguez, Demián Salomon (YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU’RE TALKING TO), Luis Ziembrowski, and Silvia Sabater (VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA), and Marcelo Michinaux. The film is produced by Shudder, Machaco Films (Argentina), and Aramos Cine (Argentina).
The film, which AMC Studios is in early collaboration to develop into a television series based on, is a Shudder Original produced by Shudder, Machaco Films, and Aramos Cinema.
When Evil Lurks is set to make its premiere in theaters on October 6, 2023, from IFC Films, before making its debut on Shudder on October 27, 2023, just in time for Halloween.
