Deliver Us from Evil

About This Movie

Deliver Us from Evil is this gritty mix of crime and drama that hits you with a tense atmosphere right from the start. The pacing keeps it taut as the men unravel, each one consumed by greed after their brutal encounter with the skyjacker. It's fascinating how the film captures the primal aspects of human nature, showing how desperation can tear apart camaraderie. The practical effects are pretty raw, which adds to the unsettling edge of the story. Performances are quite solid, especially in how they portray the moral decay of the characters. You don’t often see films from this era tackle such dark themes with this level of intensity, making it feel distinctive in its own right.

Deliver Us from Evil has had a bit of a checkered release history, with various formats over the years but not a ton of available copies, which makes it somewhat elusive for collectors. Interest seems to be growing, especially among those who appreciate more obscure thrillers of the 70s. The film's unique take on moral ambiguity and human survival instincts appeals to those looking for something different, and its rarity adds to its allure.
