Horror fanatics, gore enthusiasts, and demonic film devotees looking for a scary movie to rev up those Halloween engines, When Evil Lurksis officially available for your streaming pleasure. If you can stomach it, that is.

When Evil Lurkstells the tale of a demonic infection that begins in a nearby farmhouse and spreads across a rural community through heinous possession and cruel violence. The two main characters, brothers Pedro (Ezequiel Rodriguez) and Jimmy (Demián Salomón), attempt to rid the town of evil, and upon failing, attempt to flee from it. But, as Mashable's film critic Kristy Puchko puts it, "you should know this is not a story with a happy ending."

Here's a taste of what you're in for:

If you want to watch When Evil Lurks, but don't necessarily want to subscribe to an all-horror streaming service, AMC+ is a better option for you. It has a splash of Shudder's content, including When Evil Lurks, plus AMC content, IFC Films, BBC America, Sundance Now, and more. In other words, it offers a lot more than just horror films. You can kick things off with a seven-day free trial, then you can choose to subscribe for as low as $4.99/month (if you don't mind ads). Just remember that your subscription will auto-renew until you cancel.

Honorable mention: AMC+ Prime Video add-on

Like the Shudder add-on, you can tack AMC+ onto your Amazon Prime Video account. The only downfall is that after your seven-day free trial, it'll auto-renew for the most expensive $8.99/month plan without the option to downgrade your account. It's still a great way to watch When Evil Lurks for free, but just remember to cancel before your seven-day trial is up if you don't want to be charged full price.
