“When Evil Lurks will be a double challenge for me and the viewer – complex on stage and also very intense for anyone watching it,” says Rugna. “I had to leave the plan of a limited production to break with everything. “This movie will be my relief, a release of disturbing images that have accumulated in my mind all these years like a pressure cooker.”
Fernando Diaz is producing with Rugna, having worked at Terrified. When Evil Lurks will be the feature-length debut for La Puerta Roja, a new production company from Diaz’s Machaco Films and Roxana Ramos Aramos Cine.
“We are trying to tell a macabre story with an extremely oppressive and realistic atmosphere, but at a frantic pace, without abandoning a strong narrative,” Diaz added in a statement. “A genuine universe that redefines the stories of evil and curses.”
