Mild correction on some things. So the evil jumps from target to target if people don't do the specific stuff to prevent it. You can have a possessed person but as long as no on breaks the rules around them, they can be in that body until it dies. The lady near the end says in the city there are possessed people but people know how to deal with it and don't break any of the rules so it's trapped there. So in the case of the new husband running over the wife...the guy shot the dog(which was evil and is another rule you can't break) and it possessed the husband, then he killed the wife by hitting her. Since the wife died/got possessed then she goes after the kids. It all started by Pedro leaving the clothes so the dog sniffs it, gets possessed, kills the girl, then gets shot. The guy who kills the dog gets possessed and kills the wife which the possessed/fake daughter warned her about. I think the order of ease of possession is animals--->kids--->adults. There's a debate on if with the goat scene, if the evil jumped to the unborn baby and made the mom kill the husband and then herself or if the wife was possessed and then kills the husband.

I gotta say I really love how the movie handles the autistic kid. For one, having him be somewhat resistant to the demon because it needs time to figure him out is awesome. Then the way his grandmother reacts with fear when he starts talking "normal" because that isn't her grandson, it's almost heartwarming to see. And finally him returning to how he always was at the end, it just feels like an affirmation that he's better the way he is than as a "normal" person.

The thing with the clothes is that they were from the house that was in the affected land, that is why he needed 'new' clothes and couldn't take anything from his house... So Pedro would have had to drive naked... and guess that would have made it harder for him to get pass his ex's front door. Also! About Jair, following what Mirta says, the demon inside him can't do the full possession (yet) BECAUSE Jair is austhistic and when the grandma is naming the demons Jair starts repeating one of the names, so is reasonable to believe he was already possessed by Asmodeus by then. I do believe that from the stress caused by all the horrors of the birthing process of Uriel's demon was that Asmodeus was able to begging the actual possession of Jair.

YEESSSSS! I've been waiting for one of my favorite yt boys to review this film. finally getting the recognition it deserves. Also fun fact Argentina has very strict child actors laws that prohibit child witnessing any violence will filming (making the film very difficult for the director). All the shots with blood including the kid demon covered in red paint is actually blue paint/ liquid and color corrected in post :)

The idea of a pro exorcist that can just deal with these horrifying demons with no issues is kind of sick. Just like, 0 fear, knows all the rules, equipped with all kinds of demon weapons. Would be like the super scary and gorry version of Buffy the vampire slayer or something.

She did it to prevent herself spreading the rotten while she still could. Part of the rule for how it works is if the rotten is not killed properly it spreads, infecting other living things nearby. If she did nothing she'd eventually become the rotten too, and if she used the gun it'd just spread the rotten further.

Translating "embichado" to rotten is a biiig miss interpretation; if it were, they would call it "podrido", tho' they call it "embichado" which refers as something filled with bugs "bichos" Given the regionalism of Argentina, i believe the closest translation to "embichado" would be "infestado" (infested) or "plagado" (plagued), which would more correctly describe the decaying body close to the beginning of the movie or the way the demon spreads its influence

The first demon possession movie I've heard of that never mentions God(s) or religious traditions/symbols to defeat the demon, despite there being elaborate rules that characters who are not the protagonist somehow seem to know and despite it being set in an rural area and with ethnic groups that are usually Catholic. In general, horror stories once upon the time had a rule that being innocent (like a child) or true in faith would protect you or be able to drive the unclean demon away. But starting in the 1990s, it switched to "demons prefer to prey on the innocent and drag them to Hell" (where in terms of Judeo-Christian mythology they shouldn't be because Hell was meant to house the Damned and punish the sinners until their sins are forgiven or they are cleanst to ascend from Hell to Purgatory to Heaven. So horror movies with devils/demons in them turned into DOOM franchise, basically, where the protagonist has to kill the demon with weapons or magic weapons or spells by being bigger and more powerful than the creature as if it's Dungeons & Dragons.

It is something that I liked too, they didn't put religion first. Even Uriel's mother says to the brothers when they first see him all rotten that she tried praying to save him and it got them nowhere. Even for the way to kill them, despite never being fully explained or shown in the movie, they use machinery that looks like something made in the Renaissance, not something taken from a church. And when Mirtha mentioned her first encounter with the rotten she says it was in church but that she thought he was "one of the actors we used to hire", which means even that church wasn't all that truthful to begin with.

The actual word they used for the posessed people is "encarnado" which could be translated to "reborn" I think is really clever as it seems that once you are posessed the demon is in full control, in contrast to other movies where the victim and the demon switch places through the movie
@florenciacassoni3490
4 ай бұрын
It would actually be translated more accurately to incarnated, which means it has roots but also, as a medical term, that it is infected and can and will get worse with time if not treated. Which is what happens with the possessed in this movie. So rotten makes a good replacement for the word encarnado either way.

Maybe I'm dumb but didn't this movie imply they were in some sort of post catastrophe world? Mitra mentions something along the lines of bringing the evil and "killing the faith", earlier in the film Pedro says the churches are dead. So it seems like some big status quo changing demonic event happened which would also explain why everyone seems to have some understanding of possession and there's some sort of league of professionals to deal with them, also the cops were quit to say it was outside of their wheelhouse. Am i crazy, did anyone else get that impression?
@florenciacassoni3490
4 ай бұрын
Well both Mirta and Pedro have been through rough stuff. Maybe hers is more towards your point but Pedro's called a murderer and it is hinted that he did a lot of bad shit from his ex wife too, so maybe his loss of faith has to do with him losing everything before? Yes the wife wasn't perfect, mind you, but you know what I mean. Still I haven't thought about it either, it's a very interesting theory tbh. Makes sense.

I didn't know this movie existed until now. If you saw a possessed person cannibalize another before, then Jennifer's Body is a notable example, except the gory kills aren't this disturbing as When Evil Lurks, but the movie's also a comedy and coming-of-rage despite being horror(aside from Jennifer's Body, Ginger Snaps, and to a lesser extent The Exorcist having the profession of representing female adolescence through becoming a succubus, infliction of lycanthropy, and getting possessed by a Mesopotamian/Babylonian/Akkadian demon Pazuzu). When Evil Lurks didn't give a fuck about not toning down it's brutality, and went with making the audience squeamish by the use of grotesque imagery. The movie is one of the exceptions to an oversaturated and now-shit subgenre of horror(due to The Exorcist's success leading to unintentionally hilarious ripoffs/B-movies cashing in) that should've stayed dead, alongside The Taking of Deborah Logan, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and to a lesser extent The Pope's Exorcist(Russell Crowe killed it as Father Amorth, and Ralph Ineson carried 2023 especially his role of Cidolfus Telemon in Final Fantasy XVI, one of the best games of that year), and it's a shame we'll never have good possession movies like them, let alone the one that started it all back during 1973 anymore. Even as someone who's autistic, the son was very smart and aware of the horrors he had to witness, terrorizing his family and sister. Sure, he's still vulnerable, but the boy supported his parents to find a way to get rid of the demon, so they won't suffer anymore. An Argentinian director really sold at the end of last year, whereas Japan did amazingly with Godzilla Minus One, and The Boy and the Heron, and Britain delivered a great sequel with Chicken Run 2: Dawn of the Nugget. So good for them!

Correction for those watching this over the movie: The mayor DID know about the issue, but kept quiet, and wasn't dealt with for An Entire Year. The cops knew about the cleaner and the report, but didn't take it seriously (my guess is because the mayor told them there wasn't anything to worry about, and they were taking care of it).

Argentinian here! Thanks for reviewing this movie! I really liked it and seems like people are liking it too, lots of people in theaters during this movie, definitely surprising for a local movie. Regarding the Ruiz character, Ruiz is his last name, it's normal to call people by their last name in rural areas. And about the pronunciation of Ruiz, in Argentina, we pronounce the Z as an S, always. So it sounds exactly the same as "Ruis". The pronunciation you saw in KZitem was the Spanish (from Spain) pronunciation, which is really different than latin America. Great review!

It’s soo good and completely disgusting too.
