When Evil Lurks – Watch the trailer for the new Possession Horror movie

Shudder and Vertigo Releasing have confirmed the release of Shudder’s latest Original Film, When Evil Lurks, in UK cinemas on 6th October 2023 following its premiere at Toronto Film Festival in Midnight Madness.

When brothers Pedro (Ezequiel Rodríguez) and Jimmy (Demián Salomón) 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.

Check out the trailer below.

Written and directed by Demián Rugna (Terrified), When Evil Lurks stars Ezequiel Rodríguez (Juego De Brujas), Demián Salomón (Satanic Hispanics) & Luis Ziembrowski.
