Editor’s note: A brief editor’s note on When Evil Lurks (2023): A confident blend of Horror, Thriller, focused more on tone than spectacle. With Demián Rugna at the helm, the film feels purposeful and well-paced. Performances (especially Ezequiel Rodríguez, Demián Salomón, Silvina Sabater) give the story human stakes. Clocking in at 1h 40m, the pacing is controlled, with room to breathe. Reception is decent overall; not a game-changer, but hardly disposable. “There's no point in praying.” sums up the film’s focus better than most trailers do. Put it on your list—especially if you’re after mood and texture.
