Deliver Us

The consistent volatility of “Deliver Us” casts a wonky spell.

Deliver Us is awesome.

Deliver Us seemingly has all the momentum to become a truly enrapturing religious horror film...And yet, by the end of the film’s runtime, you walk away shaking your head with confusion rather than shaking in terror.

An exciting start gives way to a slow middle section, before an urgent finale brings the film to a close. The results are ambitious, if not for everyone.

But for the gore and the nudity, DELIVER US is a film that might engender a lively discussion in a theology class.

Filled with religious intrigue.

Deliver Us is a welcome addition to the subgenre. This isn't a mainstream horror film, but it'll indeed find an audience. The directors went big and executed their ideas well, especially given the budget constraints.

Deliver Us is not for the squeamish or the faint of heart — especially with its subject matter and manner of brutal filmmaking — but if you’re on board with the religious horror sub-genre, then they’re a lot to enjoy and takeaway.

Deliver Us is a serious as it needs to be with its religious horror approach, and it's made by a team that's worth getting excited about.

All the pieces are here to make a movie that is gory and atmospheric while also being a little funny and tongue-in-cheek. Instead, all we get is a film that’s better off being returned to sender.
