And Deliver Us from Evil

About This Movie

And Deliver Us from Evil is a deep and unsettling look at the intersection of traditional beliefs and modern healthcare. The film captures the eerie atmosphere of Orchid Island, where the Tao people's views on possession and illness complicate their access to medical care. It’s not just a documentary; it’s a cultural exploration that reveals the haunting isolation felt by patients. There’s a rawness to the way the filmmaker presents stories that are both personal and collective. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to absorb the weight of each narrative. It’s this distinctive blend of supernatural lore and real-world consequences that makes it a significant piece for collectors interested in ethnographic cinema.
