The Deliverance

The Deliverance

Let me tell you lot something, let them foul mouthed kids talk to me like that and i’ll tell you now, that demon is going to be the least of your problems. From the jump the family dynamic is a mad one. The drama runs so deep that you get so invested in the family stuff that sometimes you forget theres a whole demon in the house. The relationships between mother and children to grandma make for some decent storytelling. Some shoe horned unnecessary plots dragged it all out a bit and that final 3rd was a struggle to get through. Characters like Monique had some back stories like meh and Omar Epps came for a paycheck to kiss on the old white woman. They provided nothing with their talents.

The disturbing possession side of things was interesting, opting for each character to take a turn in the demon shoes and it made for a fresh display of talent doing dual roles. The horror elements, aim to deliver scares, however the film often shifts focus back to the complex dynamics of the family which was the side of things i liked.

The Deliverance was a strange one. It had moments but overall it was trashhhhh! Lee tried to merge a heavy social drama like Precious with a whole Exorcist. It would have done better to stick to the drama side. One piece of dialogue which was a clear attempt to go viral will not save this movie. Id like to see another attempt though… maybe T Perry can get Madea in a haunted house with her guns and we go from there. This was not it and thats why I watched it, so you dont have to!!

Did you also smell that nappy p****y? What did you think of the deliverance? How many black people do you know will stay in a haunted house after the first sign of a demon? Im out!
