When Evil Lurks

Men are infuriating iykyk

Love love love. It’s a possession film in all the best ways. It has lore, it has grizzly deaths and scenes, it’s genuinely scary, and it even has creepy kids. It checks so many horror boxes. It’s a must watch—even if you don’t like subtitles. Just get over it and watch it.

Dread, layers & layers of dread. You hope for these two brothers, somehow they will stop what’s happening in time, but the bell is tolling and it’s definitely tolling for them. Great kills & they really go there, no innocent spared. I think this will be a re-watch.

Okay so. I get the idea. I do. But holy shit, that movie was so terrible. I'm not sure if everything was just lost in translation since I watched with subtitles, but that was the most aggravating, frustrating, confusing movie I think I've ever watched, ever. They just go in circles the ENTIRE movie. They don't solve any of the problems that they literally SAY THEY ARE GOING TO DO!!! And like, the antichrist at the end? No explanation either? Also no one knows how to say "Hey, there's a DEMON around, it's possessing EVERYONE, let's gtfo"??? No, I'm just going to strip naked in front of these little kids and just stare at you instead of talking. They said they need to get the ministry or something to get rid of the demon and all the stuff but instead of listening to EVERYONE say "Don't shoot it with a gun", what do they do???? .....Oh, right, they shoot it with a gun. Makes sense! I've never felt more angry about a movie before and I've watched a lot of bad movies. This takes the CAKE. I feel like I just wasted an hour and 40 minutes just yelling at the screen. I only watched this because apparently Robert Englund said it was the best horror movie in the past 5 years? Never listen to his opinion again, because I don't think he knows at all what he's talking about.

this was super disturbing, consistently on the edge of ur seat…i can’t give it a heart tho
