When Evil Lurks

This Argentinian gem narrates the story of Pedro who along with his brother Jaime comes across a rotten body of a man who is possessed by a demon. He is about to give birth to it and the brothers not only have to stop the birthing but also ensure not to kill the Kan as it might spread the possession. With the authorities refusing to help and a mistake leading to the spread, it is upto the brothers to safeguard their family and also stop the demon. Will they succeed forms rest of the story. I already used the word "gem", so adding onto that, this is by far the best horror film to release this year and I thoroughly loved it. There is no time spent on believer and non-believer, as the story is established in such a way that the characters believe the scenario of an unborn demon about to get unleashed and that alone helps sell this story. The director doesn't waste any time in getting on with the story as the brothers discover the rotting man soon and hell breaks loose thereafter. With constant supply of scares and gore even when the film is devoid of any jumpscares, as the narrative doesn't want to resort to such gimmicks. It's a run for survival rather than fight for survival till the final act and that works the best. By the tike the final act begins, the film throws in more surprises amidst the inevitable outcome. Kudos to the make up team as well, to help elevate those not easily digestible scenes. I liked the fact that the narrative held my attention from start to finish. For this, I would strongly recommend this as a must watch to everyone.

When a case of demonic possession threatens to spread throughout the area, Pedro (Ezequiel Rodríguez) attempts to get his family to safety, but being an idiot, he only succeeds in exposing them to the evil. I had heard very good things about Argentinian horror When Evil Lurks so I was excited to watch it, but I seem to be in the minority in finding it disappointing. Sure, there are a couple of memorable sequences (the dog attacking the little girl being the obvious one), but the script is extremely muddled, introducing a lore and a set of rules for its demonic possessions that are inadequately explained (if at all). What causes the possessions? What exactly is a 'rotten'? What is a 'cleaner' and what is that metal contraption they use? Why can't the possessed be shot? Why can't electricity be used? Where are the police and the army while all of this is going on? So many questions, but writer/director Demián Rugna never fills us in on the details; while I don't need everything spelled out for me, this film is a case of too little information, making it a frustrating watch (for me, at least). Some of the special effects are reasonable, but the film is hardly the gore-drenched masterpiece that I had been led to believe it is.

I'm from Argentina, and this movie had incredible publicity. I waited anxiously and told my wife that we were going to see something new in the genre. Unfortunately I was wrong. It was a disaster. The first 20 minutes are promising, but then the script ruins itself abruptly, as if falling into a void and getting lost in limbo. Inconsistencies, bad acting, stupid decisions, and a regrettable ending. I was deceived. Believe me, the hype is false. The only good thing was the gore situations, nothing more. And it's only 3 or 4 moments. The rest is pure disappointment, I say this with sadness because I expected to see a contemporary wonder. I ended up angry. The "2" is for the technical effort.
