‘When Evil Lurks’ – First Look at New Horror Movie from ‘Terrified’ Director Demián Rugna

After terrifying audiences with Terrified back in 2017, filmmaker Demián Rugna is back with new horror movie When Evil Lurks, and Variety has shared a first-look image today (above).

Described as a “rural possession thriller,” When Evil Lurks is being co-produced by Shudder and Argentina’s La Puerta Roja, and Variety notes that the movie will wrap in early 2023.

In the film, “Two brothers 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.”

Variety’s report also notes, “A highly inventive play on a common horror theme, the film aims at fear itself and its manifestation within us. Chaotic and tense, Rugna achieves infinite momentum throughout the maelstrom, never a lapse in on-screen frenzy.”

When Evil Lurks will be Shudder’s first Spanish-language original.
