When Evil Lurks (2023)
Directed by DemiƔn Rugna
4.4/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"100 minQuick Hit
When Evil Lurks plays like a possession freakoutāfilthy, unpredictable, with enough style to make the damage look beautiful.
Full Take
When Evil Lurks leans hard into possession horror energy, and DemiƔn Rugna keeps the tone filthy without letting the movie drift. It balances style and ugliness the right way, letting the mood get under your skin before the worst of it lands. It may not be for everybody, but it definitely has teeth.

Not bad, not great. Just okay.

I actually agree with this take. Itās not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
Thereās a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
This didnāt really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.

Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.
