Movie Reviews:

  • Manuel São Bento: FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/the-deliverance-review-from-complex-drama-to-unintentional-comedy/
  • “The Deliverance holds significant narrative potential but gets lost in a failed attempt to balance serious family drama with absurd supernatural horror. What could have been a thematically powerful movie gradually turns into an awkward and, at times, unintentionally comedic experience.
  • Despite notable performances from Andra Day and Glenn Close, Lee Daniels fails to build an immersive atmosphere and maintain the narrative cohesion necessary to create a memorable story, leaving the sense that its impact could have been much greater if it had opted for a more restrained, less formulaic approach.”
  • Rating: D+
  • RalphRahal: I went into “The Deliverance,” directed by Lee Daniels, with high hopes, expecting a genuinely good horror film.
  • Unfortunately, it fell short. Daniels relied on the same tired demon tropes that we’ve seen countless times, making the movie predictable and uninspired. Despite having an overqualified cast, the film suffered from a lack of funding, resulting in a subpar exorcism movie that ended up more depressing than terrifying.
  • It’s a shame because Daniels has the talent to create something truly unique in the horror genre, but “The Deliverance” failed to deliver on that potential.
