Kathryn joins Melvin to discuss our latest Patreon-picked movie, When Evil Lurks! This Argentinian horror flick made the rounds in 2023, catching a lot of attention and exploding in popularity once it landed on Shudder. It's also a combination of grounded & crazy! The two get into it all!

Topics:

  • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 20-minutes discussing the trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth, Gareth Edwards' upcoming Summer blockbuster, and how it might be doing away with Trevorrow's... lackluster style and embrace being a horror-filled island adventure! (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
  • When Melvin received the push-notification that a Patreon Supporter had submitted When Evil Lurks for February's Patreon Pick, he audibly reacted. It's a visceral film, and the two talk about that for a bit.
  • Is it weird to like a movie that's so pointedly miserable?
  • Kathryn, "This movie just evoked in me a lot of 'social sadness'.".
  • The film isn't drawing attention to it, but virtually every character within the film exists in a state of marginalization.
  • When Evil Lurks has conviction. It trusts what it's doing, and it trusts you'll understand it.
  • It's not as vicious as Terrifier 2, but the violence here is pretty nuts.
  • "Evil loves children. And children love evil."
  • Discussing those two crazy shocking scenes in the film. You know the ones.
  • When a system fails, the marginalized are the first to suffer.
  • Discussing the ending and how it left us.
