Deliver Us From Evil
I really didn’t think Deliver Us From Evil looked that good to begin with based on the trailer. The abundance of negative reviews wasn’t inspiring. But it was directed and co-written(!) by Scott Derrickson, who co-wrote and directed Sinister, a movie that I actually enjoyed quite a bit (although I know many of you did not). This movie was bad on many levels and was just a boring movie. I know all of the movies on this list so far I have said were disappointing because they were boring, but that’s because I can tolerate a bad movie if it’s at least entertaining. If it’s also boring, that means it has no value as a film whatsoever. The tone of this film was weird too because it took itself very seriously. I can accept that, but when you include Joel McHale’s cop character, who has a gun, starting a knife fight in a stairwell with a clearly dangerous man, it’s so laughable that it pulled me right out of the film. And to think It was a wast of the $14 I spent to see this in theaters.
