One demonic possession movie pushed the limits of horror in 2023 much like The Exorcist did in the 1970s, but it wasn't The Exorcist: Believer.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The previously demonic possession subgenre of horror might have been revitalized in the fall of 2023, but it was not by the high-profile sequel The Exorcist: Believer. The sequel to 1973's horror classic The Exorcist failed to even approach the heights of its predecessor, and has been universally panned by critics and fans alike.

While The Exorcist: Believer has registered a ghastly 22% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, a limited-release Argentinian film is sitting on a 98% critics score since its debut. After debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2023, the movie hit theaters on October 6th, the same day as The Exorcist: Believer. Slated to stream on Shudder just before Halloween, When Evil Lurks is one of the best horror movies of 2023.

When Evil Lurks Is The Best Possession Horror Movie Of 2023 From Argentinian director Demián Rugna, When Evil Lurks takes an entirely different approach to demonic possession, eschewing the typical heavy religious overtones in favor of a more grounded form of pure evil. When Evil Lurks centers around two brothers who run afoul of a "Rotten", which is a person who has been possessed by a demon that is aiming to be physically born from the body of its host.

When Evil Lurks Is More Like The Exorcist Than The Exorcist: Believer The Exorcist: Believer was intended to revitalize the Exorcist franchise after a number of disappointing sequels. In fact, it was intended to be the first of an Exorcist trilogy that continued the story that began with The Exorcist.
