It's time to close out another month of horror on the Watchcast, and this week we've got the movie voted on by you! The patron! Specifically, we've got Argentina's When Evil Lurks on deck, and we dig deep into its portrayal of demonic possession as a fact of life that its characters are neither overly surprised by, nor especially adept at dealing with.

Been waiting for this one! I just watched this for the first time a few weeks ago, and I'm still trying to get over it...

Beautiful work on that intro

I just watched it for the first time this weekend. Good movie. For better or worse it didn’t scar me as much as it apparently did other folks.

I watched this the first time as a double feature with A Serbian Film. Of the two, this one felt pretty forgettable. Watching it again, it is both better and scarier than I remembered. Still, that said- this movie isn’t nearly as gnarly to me as it is a lot of other people, and I do think Brad waaay oversold how gruesome it is.

GrumpyGrizz

Yeah I was nervous to watch it based on how Brad was describing it the past few weeks. Although I think horror movies in particular hit different people differently. I for one am fine with this type of horror, but really don’t like the full on gore fest movies. But I know some people the gore feasts don’t affect them.

I know the Wiki says that Ruiz's wife was possessed but I'm more with Vinny here. If she were possessed, why kill herself? The demon just gets a new body and is all of a sudden, "thanks for the meat home time to immediately destroy it"?

EarthBear

This was an interesting point from Vinny. I initially felt she was possessed and definitely still do when all is said and done and based on the brutality, but the idea that she would kill him and herself with an axe afterwards to try and stop the evil is also believable and interesting if it wasn't done in such a brutal way.

I couldn't sleep after watching a handful of Hereditary clips, no chance in hell I could watch this. Fun to hear about it, though!
