Second Sight Films announces Demián Rugna’s When Evil Lurks is set for release on Dual Limited Edition and Standard Editions 4K/UHD and Blu-ray on 28 July 2025. Please see full details herewith and do get in touch for previews, promos and interview opportunities.
‘A disturbing waltz of brutality and madness and a welcome scream-at-the-screen addition to the extreme
horror cannon’
Bloody Disgusting
‘A shocking yet highly accomplished horror and Rugna’s name is one that demands to be up there with Cronenberg, Romero, Carpenter and Argento –
a true master of the genre’
Alliance of Women’s Fim Journalists
‘Potent chiller…. truly shocking, clever and knowing’
Common Sense Media
‘Really, really bleak. Once you think you’ve got through all the different layers of bleakness, there’s more down there to enjoy… physical, noisy, bloody, exciting and fresh… Rugna is on devastating, queasy good form and definitely a horror director to watch’
Warped-Perspective
‘A mean-spirited, nasty piece of work, and I mean that as a compliment’
Horror Queers Podcast
‘Inspired and immersive, thoughtfully composed visually, and, most importantly, crazy as hell’

Beware, When Evil Lurks is set to stake its claim on your shelf forever, as Second Sight Films announces that the shockingly disturbing film is the latest cult horror gem to get the Limited Edition treatment.
Demián Rugna’s devastatingly terrifying Argentinian horror had everyone talking on its World premiere and has garnered awards galore including Best Film at Sitges Film Festival, Best International Film at Fangoria Chainsaw Awards and a double win at Gérardmer Film Festival – the Audience Award and Critics Award.
When Evil Lurks certainly lurked in the minds of critics and audiences alike too, with Dumdums stating it’s ‘One of the most disturbing movies you'll EVER see’ and The Geek Show declared it ‘A powerhouse of a possession film, cementing Demián Rugna further as an absolute master of horror in the making’ and praise continued from The Cosmic Circus who said it ‘Defiantly crosses several lines even the most twisted of films in the genre wouldn’t dare step over… has the makings of a new high-mark for horror, for those who can stomach it at least’.
The wicked When Evil Lurks Limited Edition is now set for release on 28 July 2025 and is presented in a stunning rigid slipcase with brand new artwork and is presented in dual format edition including both UHD and Blu-ray with main feature and bonus features on both discs and a slew of special features including brand-new interviews, a new commentary and a new video essay and more please see full listing on attached. Separate Standard Edition 4K/UHD and Blu-ray versions will also be available on the same date.
Dare you pay a visit to the small Argentinian town plagued by a demon that’s possessing the locals and causing unimaginable fear and destruction wherever it goes?
The dark and chilling gorefest follows a devastating trail of terror, wreaked by a malevolent force on course to destroy a whole town. Two brothers – played in jaw-dropping performances by Ezequiel Rodríguez and Demián Salomón – accidently become embroiled with a possessed local man and are sucked headlong in to a fearsome fight against evil that knows no bounds. They are prepared to risk everything to try and stop this evil, beyond their wildest fears, from destroying those they love and humanity itself.
When Evil Lurks Limited Edition 4K/UHD and Blu-ray Box set is a brilliant, brutal, boundary-breaking horror you’re guaranteed to want in your possession.
