“Terror Takes a New Form” in the Teaser Trailer for Demián Rugna’s WHEN EVIL LURKS
Written and directed by Demián Rugna (Terrified), When Evil Lurks will world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before heading to theaters on October 6th and Shudder on October 27th, and we have a look at the teaser trailer to give Daily Dead readers an idea of what to expect ahead of the film’s debut!
Synopsis: 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.
A wildly original take on the possession film, When Evil Lurks is a shocking supernatural thriller from Argentine master of horror, writer-director Demián Rugna (Terrified).
