Move over Talk To Me, because When Evil Lurks is now being called the best horror movie of the year. Since its release, streaming service Shudder’s new demonic film has become hugely popular with audiences and critics alike, striking up a staggering 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Directed by Demián Rugna, the Argentinian film follows two brothers who, in an attempt to save their loved ones, trigger a demonic possession in their small rural town. The film's raw and gritty nature, outlining the brutality of remote life and political unrest, has rocked the horror community, shocking them with jaw-dropping moments akin to the car scene in Hereditary and a despairing ending comparable to The Mist.
