When Evil Lurks Rezensionen & Wertungen
- Mariusz8032. März 2026This was a nice surprise! Finally a good zombie movie. properly creepy and erie. My wife and I just watcher the two 2 Years Later movies and it's refreashing to watch something that's not awful for a change.
- PlexserverMakani11. Juni 2025My pitbull named Princess enjoyed this movie
- jackmeat4. März 2025My quick rating - 7.3/10. This flick plunges you into a harrowing and unforgettable horror experience, solidifying its place as a must-see for genre enthusiasts. Directed by Demian Rugna, this film masterfully blends traditional horror elements with innovative storytelling, resulting in a chilling and brutal cinematic journey. Set in a remote village, the story follows two brothers, Pedro (Ezequiel Rodriguez) and Jimmy (Demian Salomón), who discover a man infected with a demonic entity on the verge of "giving birth" to evil itself. Their desperate attempt to dispose of the body inadvertently unleashes a wave of chaos, setting off a chain reaction of terror that engulfs their entire community. One of the first things I noticed was the extraordinary makeup effects. The practical effects work is nothing short of astonishing, creating some of the most grotesque and horrifying images I have seen in recent horror cinema. The meticulous attention to detail in the makeup and prosthetics enhances the film's visceral impact, making the supernatural elements feel disturbingly real. The demon-infected man, in particular, is a nightmarish vision that will haunt you long after the film ends. This one absolutely doesn't shy away from brutality, delivering scenes that are both shocking and relentless in their intensity. This unflinching approach to horror is both a strength and a potential deterrent for some audiences. The violence is graphic and, at times, overwhelmingly brutal, but it serves to heighten the sense of dread and hopelessness that permeates the narrative. Rugna's direction is deft, creating an atmosphere thick with tension and foreboding. The remote village setting enhances the sense of isolation and vulnerability, trapping the characters in a nightmarish scenario with no easy escape. The sound design and score are equally effective, using eerie silences and unsettling noises to amplify the terror. The performances are solid across the board, with Rodriguez and Salomón delivering compelling portrayals of brothers caught in a desperate situation. Their actions and decisions, though sometimes questionable, are driven by a palpable fear and urgency that makes their plight all the more gripping. This movie excels in creating moments of pure terror, offering images that sear into your mind and refuse to fade. It has an uncanny ability to sustain a high level of suspense and horror throughout its runtime making it very recommendable. This flick is a testament to the power of practical effects and atmospheric storytelling in crafting horror that truly lingers.

- macaronz15. Januar 2026Tbh didn't expect it bored me specifically in the second half. A few scenes felt horror but mostly flat out of expectation. 2.5 ⭐ from me.
- TroyJonesTV14. Dezember 2025An absolutely insane, terrifying movie. I loved it. Highly recommend! If you really love good horror, watch it now.
- nicolai10810. Januar 2026Very intense atmosphere in the first half. Not a typical film for mainstream horror viewing audiences. Very raw, gory, and handmade effects. Would love to see more films like this from Argentina.
- PBCinema5. Oktober 2025Solid Horror. A good film but my word the main character made some dumb decisions!!🙂
- Adam Smith7. September 2025Some truly shocking moments in this one. A can't miss recommendation for the "I've seen every horror movie and nothing gets to me anymore" crowd. Low on jump scares, heavy and dark and brooding from start to finish.

- Kevin Ward2. Juli 2025Oooooh, f🤩king loved this. A bleak, unsettling and unrelenting horror that has an evil presences possessing and infecting an Argentinian town. Absolutely loved the blending of possession/infection horror. Gnarly kills and practical gore that spares no one, including children and animals. Thinking it’s my favorite horror of 2023. Highly recommend. Wish I had gotten to see it in the theater.
- cultfilmliker3. Mai 2025I mean….i’m vexed by certain decisions made in the first 30 minutes but the result of it was almost worth it. Don’t like this demons rules, man how are you even supposed to remember all that A lotta questionable decisions leading up to some big mindfuckery Would love to know where the characters went from there lol Very graphic and gross!! I am very confused that many people have called this film so scary! Wasn’t impressed! Honestly I’m not super sure how I feel about this movie and it’s perplexing to me. My mind is going back and forth like I’m on shrooms lmao there’s somehow too much going on and not enough going on I have no idea
