When I make my best films of the year list, this better in at least the top 3. I didn’t know anything about When Evil Lurks. It was only after I came across some reviewers going crazy over the film. I dismissed it because the last time reviewers went crazy over a horror film we got Talk to Me. Now, people might love that film, but I thought it was one of the worst films of the year. You can’t sell me anything in the name of elevated horror. However, thank god that I watched this masterpiece. There is something about this film that doesn’t let you relax. It takes you on a ride from the very first scene itself. It is very rare that in the initial minutes of a film you feel in your gut that this is going to be amazing. When Evil Lurks deserves all the praise it has gotten and more.
There are many unanswered questions, confusing moments and despite all of it, When Evil Lurks is a cinematic masterpiece that should be watched by one and all. If you miss the film in theatres and don’t condone to watch it digitally, then no worries, here is when you can buy the physical copy of the film.
When Evil Lurks DVD and Blu-ray Release Date Isn’t Soon!
According to a new report from dvdreleases, When Evil Lurks will be available for purchase on physical media formats like DVD and Blu-ray from March 26th, 2024.

However, if you don’t intend to wait that long then watch the film digitally, it has been available on VOD platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Vudu and Apple iTunes since November 21st, 2023.
Despite being one of the best films of the year, When Evil Lurks wasn’t a financial success. The film was made on a tiny budget of $5 million but only earned $544.7K at the worldwide box office. Given that there is no major studio behind the film, it makes sense that it didn’t find the perfect theatrical window and a wide release that would’ve helped it to find a much larger audience. When Evil Lurks has a staggering Rotten Tomatoes score of 98% after 105 reviews and it also boasts a strong IMDb score of 7/10.
