Been waiting since Sundance for another horror movie to give TALK TO ME a run for the top spot, and it's finally arrived with Demián Rugna's WHEN EVIL LURKS. Just a dread-filled nightmare that drops viewers into an already brewing hellscape. The Fulci comparisons are fair as the film is heavy with deadly serious nonsense, but unlike the Italian master's movies this one feels as there's an entire mythology just outside the frame. We're teased bits and pieces, and it's more than enough to identify the stakes and the toll on our protagonists.

And that toll is fucking glorious... well, depending on how you feel about dogs and children.
