There’s no point in praying, because When Evil Lurks is coming to 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray on June 3 from Shudder.
The 2023 Argentinian supernatural horror film is presented in 4K with Spanish DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and English subtitles.
The only special feature is a behind-the-scenes photo gallery.
Written and directed by Demián Rugna (Terrified), the film stars Ezequiel Rodriguez, Demián Salomon, Luis Ziembrowski, Silvia Sabater, and Marcelo Michinaux.
When two brothers discover that a demonic infection has been festering in a nearby farmhouse — its very proximity poisoning the local livestock — they attempt to evict the victim from their land. Failing to adhere to the proper rites of exorcism, their reckless actions inadvertently trigger an epidemic of possessions across their rural community.
Now they must outrun an encroaching evil as it corrupts and mutilates everyone it is exposed to, and enlist the aid of a wizened “cleaner,” who holds the only tools that can stop this supernatural plague.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “When Evil Lurks operates more on a dread-soaked atmosphere and a commitment to fearlessly bludgeoning, biting, and bone-shattering taboos as two unreliable men detonate an atomic bomb of demonic forces, creating a shockwave of gruesome violence and bloodletting.”
