In the wild world of meme tokens and blockchain innovations, sometimes the best way to unwind is with a spine-chilling horror flick. That's exactly what crypto personality Baoskee, the vc-killer behind @daosdotfun and a fan of Moo Deng memes, is suggesting with his recent X post about "When Evil Lurks."

Baoskee didn't hold back in his enthusiasm, tweeting: "“When Evil Lurks” is absolutely insane if you enjoy horror movies my new favorite." This straightforward rave has caught the eye of his followers, sparking a thread of reactions from the crypto crowd.

Unpacking the Plot of When Evil Lurks

Directed by Demián Rugna, "When Evil Lurks" (originally titled "Cuando acecha la maldad") is a 2023 supernatural horror film set in a remote Argentine village. It follows two brothers, Pedro and Jaime, who discover a grotesquely possessed man—referred to as a "Rotten"—harboring an evil entity that's on the verge of being born.

In this universe, demonic possession isn't your typical exorcism fare. There are strict rules: you can't use firearms on the possessed because it releases the evil to spread like a virus. The brothers' attempt to quietly remove the threat backfires spectacularly, unleashing a wave of possession, violence, and chaos that tears through their family and neighbors. Think brutal killings, shocking gore, and a relentless sense of dread that builds to a grim climax.

The film draws from Argentine folklore and rural isolation, creating a unique blend of folk horror and pandemic-like contagion. If terms like "demonic possession" sound arcane, it's basically an evil spirit taking over a body, but here it's treated like a contagious disease with community-enforced protocols to contain it.

What Critics and Viewers Are Saying

Reviews highlight the movie's unflinching brutality and innovative take on horror tropes. On Roger Ebert's website, it's described as packed with unforgettable imagery that overcomes any narrative shortcomings, making it a feast for horror buffs. A Reddit discussion even calls it possibly the best horror film of 2023, praising its deep lore and escalating plot.

Over at IMDb, users echo the sentiment, noting the film's ability to deliver genuine scares without relying on jump scares. However, it's not for the faint-hearted—expect graphic violence that doesn't pull punches, as mentioned in a JoBlo review.

Reactions from the Crypto Community on X

Baoskee's thread has drawn a mix of responses, reflecting the diverse crypto scene. Eval VX (@Tenkacrypto) chimed in: "argentina really been carrying modern horror lately," nodding to Argentina's hot streak in horror with films like this one. Lixlord (@0xlixlord00) added it to their watchlist, saying, "on my watchlist, thanks for the recommendation bro."

There were international flavors too, like Charlie (@charlie_pnx) sharing in Chinese: "真的吓到不敢关灯" (translating to "really scared to turn off the lights"). Other replies ranged from excited agreements to light-hearted crypto plugs, showing how these communities blend entertainment with their daily grind.

Why This Matters for Meme Token Enthusiasts

In the high-stakes arena of meme coins, where "evil" can lurk in the form of rug pulls or market dumps, a movie about uncontainable chaos hits differently. It's a reminder that even in decentralized worlds, rules matter—and breaking them can lead to disaster. Plus, with Baoskee's meme-savvy bio dreaming of "moodeng on mars 2030," it's cool to see crypto figures sharing non-blockchain passions that keep things fun and human.

If you're looking to balance your portfolio research with some heart-pounding entertainment, stream "When Evil Lurks" on platforms like Shudder. Just maybe keep the lights on—unless you're braver than the rest of us.
