What I’m Watching: When Evil Lurks (2023)

Synopsis: “

The residents of a small rural town discover that a demon is about to be born among them. They desperately try to escape before the evil is born, but it may be too late.”

My take: A brilliant horror masterpiece. I needed every content warning. I felt every emotion—terror, dread, shock, anger—and I went through all the stages of grief. I care about Pedro and Jimi and am right on the journey with them as they try to save their loved ones from an evil they could neither predict nor comprehend. This stomach-turning, brutal film brings to mind The VVitch and Children of the Corn, and is a must-watch for horror lovers.
