Two brothers, Pedro and Jaime, enter a shack in their village and discover the horribly deformed body of a dying man, host to a demon. The siblings take it upon themselves to put him out of his misery, and the evil spreads throughout the surrounding population.

Five years ago, Cyril Despontin, general coordinator of the PIFFF, single-handedly carried the selection of Demián Rugna's previous feature, Aterrados (Terrified), over the heads of his reserved colleagues. And he was right. Aterrados exploited all its resources to the bone, creating an intangible scare from hackneyed narrative schemes. When Evil Lurks continues his dissection of an Argentina plagued by demons bent on rotting flesh and ruthlessly attacking everything it holds dear. This time, the author takes on the film of possession, transforming every shot into a battlefield where no one is safe, and delivers the feel-good movie we all unknowingly needed.
