Writer-director Demián Rugna (Terrified) is bringing his Argentinian exorcism movie When Evil Lurks to the Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness slot, and IFC Films has just released a blood-soaked trailer.
A tale of widespread demonic possession which spreads across a small town community, When Evil Lurks stars Ezequiel Rodríguez, Demián Salomón, Silvina Sabater, Virginia Garofalo, Paula Rubinsztein, and Luis Dziembrowski; you can check out the teaser trailer below…
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.
When Evil Lurks releases in theatres on October 6th, before becoming available to stream on Shudder on October 27th.
