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+

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.
