Absolutely shocking moments of gore with awesome practical effects. They really show everything too, doesn't shy away from killing kids and animals in the worst imaginable ways. The story in between these moments are incredibly boring to me though. Annoying dialogue, frustrating decision making and unnatural character interactions—or is it culture shock?! I doubt it cause it's awful, I hope nobody thinks like these characters. The superstitions and religious beliefs are also overly exagerated to the point of becoming comedy. Too much melodrama and exposition in the third act. A frustrating watch. It's too bad because I really enjoyed the beginning of the movie and the epic gnarly gore scenes.

A completely different take on possession. Avoiding all the stupid cliches from American movies, director Demián Rugna takes a gruesome, intelligent, and shocking route that makes the movie one of the most original horror films I've watched in a long time. The third act slows things a little more than I would wanted, but the end leaves you satisfied and devastated. Without a doubt, this IS the movie you should watch in October 2023 instead of the megahyped Exorcist secuel.

The only strength of the movie is its willingness to go to extreme extents of showing us some dark and disturbing gore. The plot however is so underdeveloped and the characters are not interesting at all. Checking out When Evil Lurks is recommended if you enjoy dark, suspenseful, and extreme horror films. That being said, you might want to seek elsewhere if you're searching for a horror movie with a well-developed story and cast of characters.

A lot of the movie was good, but it just had such terrible character decisions that really took away from the quality of the film. It made me really frustrated.

This movie was overhyped as being the scariest movie of the year and frankly, I wasn't scared at all.

The idea behind the movie was a completely fresh take and this, I enjoyed. However, being that it was a low budget film I felt they couldn't portray that idea well enough. The dialogue was incre More

I can see what When Evil Lurks is trying to achieve. Its an alternate take on reality, a horror infused, supernatural world, where demonic possession is an accepted occurrence.

Its done convincingly, with an everyday vibe, where a possession event is akin to a serious crime or perhaps, a natural More
