Smartly, it’s not just violence for shock value’s sake there’s something rather prescient about the way evil spreads like an unseen infectious disease. If you thought the ghastly dead boy in Terrified was unsettling, well, Rugna’s upped the ante in ways that frequently leave your jaw on the floor. The filmmaker also seems intent on topping himself in terms of horror violence, especially where children are concerned. From the putrid origins of the evil let loose into the world to the carnage it leaves in its wake, When Evil Lurks makes for a captivating watch on its horror elements alone. Rugna continues his streak for horror staging and imagery that sticks with you. The brothers decide to take on cleansing the home of its foul demonic presence themselves but wind up kickstarting a plague of demonic possession instead that leaves them scrambling to evade evil’s increasingly widespread reach. Brothers Pedro ( Ezequiel Rodríguez ) and Jimmy ( Demián Salomón ) discover something’s deeply wrong with the livestock in their local, rural community and trace it back to a nearby farm, where a man is grotesquely bloated by sickness and evil. More accurately, the gnarly reign of terror begins with a botched exorcism. The possession horror feature flips the script by starting with an exorcism rather than building up to one. This time, however, the Argentinian filmmaker shifts gears to take on possession horror unafraid to spill buckets of blood and jaw-dropping violence. Rugna continues that streak with his latest, When Evil Looks, including the central theme of infectious evil. Writer/Director Demián Rugna broke onto the horror scene with 2017’s aptly titled Terrified ( Aterrados ), a paranormal tour de force of shocking imagery and genuine scares. Kurtis David Harder wrote the script with Tesh Guttikonda. “After showing Madison all of the amazing sights, things take a different turn when CW brings her to a surprise location - a deserted island that is completely off the grid.” Together they share authentic meals and drinks with locals, discussing the differences between Madison’s online presence and CW’s lack of one. While reflecting on her boyfriend canceling the trip, she meets CW ( Cassandra Naud), a fearless and enigmatic traveler who offers to take her to some of the most Instagram-worthy locations. “Influencer tells the story of Madison ( Emily Tennant), a popular social media influencer who is having a lonely and uneventful trip in Thailand despite what she tells her followers on Instagram.
