Cuando Acecha La Maldad shows how a good story usually follows an interesting character through an interesting situation. Interesting might come in different forms, like someone with a past, or plot points that pack a punch, the secret is to deliver without fear, and Cuando Acecha La Maldad delivers.
In Cuando Acecha La Maldad, we follow Pedro and Jimi in a semi-dystopian world, trying to just live their mundane, sort of bad-vibes life, when incident strikes: someone is infested. Infestation is a terrible thing in this world, and Pedro specifically feels it's time to get outta dodge. Some bad decisions later, and the consequences of their acts put the life of everyone in danger.
Pedro is a recluse with somewhat of a dark past. He has just got out of prison and seems to want to disappear into his solitude. He shows glimpses of not taking good decisions, which poses a problem later. His development in the story is a bit lacking, but the highlight of Cuando Acecha La Maldad is his cinematography.
The other recurring character is Pedro's brother, Jimi. Jimi might have had a better role in early development, but it got diminished to secondary, or even tertiary. Events might lead us to think that he will have a climax, but his story is flat. Overall, Jimi supports Pedro on his path to resolution.
Cuando Acecha La Maldad adds a fresh spin into the demoniac-possession story with a concept that, although I'm not sure it's new, is definitely interesting. The idea of mixing possession with characteristics of disease infestation is renewing to the genre, and this movie executes this premise in a solid way.
We get some minor facts about the setting in Cuando Acecha La Maldad. The world seems to be living in a post-apocalyptic period where "God is dead" or has abandoned everything. Demons roam free, but with certain rules: they can infest people, and later influence the world around them if they are not dispatched by skilled hands. Cuando Acecha La Maldad tells us that "demons are common mostly in big cities," which is why Pedro and Jimi live in a lone village by the countryside, hiding from them, a direct criticism to the contrast between the simplicity of the countryside when compared to cities.
Now, what Cuando Acecha La Maldad delivers is in the cinematography department. The opening scene shows a great display of how to hook the audience, a long shot, no-cuts scene that puts us right into the mood: this is going to be a serious movie. And serious it is! Cuando Acecha La Maldad does not BS around, and you better be ready for some heavy sh**. This is a movie about evil, and evil has terrible outcomes.
True to its tone, Cuando Acecha La Maldad ends up with a punch to our stomach. The movie delivers some extent of closure, but the costs are high.
Overall, Cuando Acecha La Maldad is a movie for horror fans, a solid story that doesn't try to please, but rather to remain true to its core. You might find yourself a little darker after you end this movie, but it's for the best. Cuando Acecha La Maldad delivers, and you better be ready for grim stuff.
