A teaser trailer for the demonic possession movie When Evil Lurks has been unveiled ahead of its Midnight Madness premiere at TIFF.

When Evil Lurks Teaser Trailer
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.
The movie is written and directed by Demián Rugna, who won acclaim for Terrified, his previous movie collaboration with Shudder. It stars Ezequiel Rodríguez, Demián Salomón, Silvina Sabater, Virginia Garofalo, Paula Rubinsztein, Luis Dziembrowski
When Evil Lurks premieres at Midnight Madness on September 13, 2023. It then gets a theatrical release on October 6, 2023 before finally landing on Shudder on October 27, 2023.
