The trailer for Demián Rugna’s new horror movie “When Evil Lurks” has been released, and it promises to be a terrifying experience. The film will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this September and will be released in theaters on October 6th.

The film follows a pair of brothers who find a mutilated corpse near their property. They soon learn that the odd happenings in their village are the cause of a spirit that’s found its way into a local man. The brothers must race against time to escape the spirit’s clutches.

“When Evil Lurks” is the follow-up to Rugna’s 2017 horror film “Terrified”, which was also a critical and commercial success. The film stars Ezequiel Rodriguez, Demián Salomon, Luis Ziembrowski, Silvia Sabater, and Marcelo Michinaux.

Rugna said in a statement, “Working with Shudder has been an incredible and seamless experience. They allowed me the creative space to direct freely with the same goal in mind – identify new ways to shock and scare audiences with an innovative approach and a fresh story.”

“We are very excited to continue our collaboration with Shudder/IFC Films and were blown away by seeing this film from Argentina,” said Charades co-founders Pierre Mazars, Carole Baraton, and Yohann Comte. “We can’t wait to see the reaction of the audience in Toronto.”

Shudder, Machaco Films, and Aramos Cine joined forces to produce “When Evil Lurks”.
