A compelling, well told story. Worth the watch!

Typical B-Grade Netflix movie. More interested in pushing social issues than telling a good story. Not worth watching.

Lee Daniels should be ashamed of himself. Took a story and completely fabricated it. If the Ammons family received money for this and they're able to sleep at night they should also be ashamed. I don't think there was one factual event in this movie other than the allegations that the little boy walked backwards up the wall

The performances by Close and Day were fantastic. Not super scary in my opinion but the characters kept me engaged. Pretty solid

A slow paced, focused, well directed set up and execution of a ‘true story’ that has some holes in it and eventually loses its suspension of disbelief before an overdrawn routine ending. Still, it is better than a lot of other possession horror films one will come across.

This movie is random asf

It is an excellent movie. It's not the usual exorcist movie I know of, but this is more real than imagined. The directing wasn't bad at all, and it was well played by great characters. Most importantly, it shows no power is greater than God's. JESUS be forever glorified, amen.

Way too slow to get to the scary stuff and then when it's happening finally, the pacing keeps switching so it's boring.

Very well done. For a spiritual horror movie. All the actors were amazing

1 of the worst agenda driven films I've had the misfortune of watching , the only way this can be classed as a horror is because it was horrific to watch . Story line was forced and laborious and had me contemplating switching to another movie . Don't waste your time

This is honestly one of the most god awful agenda pushers I have ever watched. I watch a lot of B rate horror films and genuinely enjoy even super lame ones, but this movie takes lame to an entirely new level. The actors get you so hooked into their family and get you drawn to the characters but then the plot of the story, all the non thought out dialogue, and for lack of a better word disgusting religious messaging... its all just so bad. I could not recommend this movie for anyone except people with religious psychosis.

Sorry, love ya daniels but "stay in your lane" has a whole mother meaning now. Having someone speak in tongues is not something I'm down for. Sorry my man but this movie is almost unwatchable

The movie has a lot of useless scenes . The plot wasn't explained very well. The jump scares weren't good either. Bad movie. Wasted 2 hours.

This is one of those strange films where I can’t decide whether I liked it or not. There are so many unlikeable elements but the climax makes them feel worthwhile. The characters are engaging but unlikeable. The pace is slow. The build-up goes nowhere. It’s really bleak. The thing that really grabbed me and is my problem with this film is that everything happens in the final act, the perfect example of this is how well it sets up the basement mystery but it leads to nothing. I can’t help but reference The Babadook (2014) and The Exorcist (1973) and The Entity (1982) but they all have a much more consistent pace. The ending is great but for most of the film there is nothing happening or any hint of any relevant hint of what will happen unlike Exorcist which has a consistent slow build. So overall I think that I liked it but also I didn’t like it. Great acting by the way.

If this was marketed as a drama, it would have been a heart-wrenching insight into the struggles of an alcoholic struggling to be a good mother to her children. The cast and acting were phenomenal (especially Alberta). I loved the dynamic between Alberta and Ebony as reflections of one another that were disgusted by what they see. However, it falls flat the end with a goofy and comedic exorcism cliche. It honestly felt like I was watching a Key and Peele sketch.

I want to give this movie a higher rating because it is so well acted! The talent in this is a 10! The writing, the direction, and the pacing is what make this movie almost unbearable to watch. The premise was so great. It had so much potential but failed to deliver. The deliverance does not deliver, ironic.

So, I Watched The Deliverance... And you know what? I deserve better. We all deserve better. I sat down expecting a decent horror flick—nothing too crazy, just enough to give me chills, make me rethink turning the lights off, and maybe even have me peeking out the window to make sure I’m not about to get possessed. What did I get instead? A flop, honey. An absolute waste of time that couldn’t even scare a toddler. Where Were the Scares?! I’m sorry, but how are you gonna label yourself a horror movie and then not scare me once? Not. One. Time. I sat there waiting for that one moment when I’d be clenching my blanket like a lifeline, and it never came. I might as well have been watching The Little Mermaid for how “scary” this was. At least that has Ursula, and she’s a vibe. This movie? Nothing. Zilch. It’s like they just forgot the horror part of horror. I’ve seen creepier things walking through the mall on a Saturday. The fact that I could sit through the entire film without my pulse once jumping tells me everything I need to know. This is not a horror movie—it’s a joke, and I am not laughing. Cheap Production? Check. And don’t even get me started on how cheap this whole thing looked. Honey, this movie had all the production value of a high school drama class project. I’m talking bad lighting, laughable special effects, and scenes that looked like they were filmed on a potato. A potato! I know not every movie has a Marvel budget, but can we at least try to make things look decent? It’s 2024, babes. I should not be sitting here thinking, “Did they use green screen for that demon?” because the answer is obvious. Yes, they did. And it looked terrible. I’m telling you, I’ve seen YouTube fan films with better visuals than this. TikTok Overreacts, As Usual. 🙄 Now, let’s talk about TikTok, because you know these girlies live for drama. Every time a new horror movie drops, it’s the same tired story. “Omg, people fainted in the theater! Omg, it’s cursed! Omg, you’ll get possessed!” Girl, please. Sit down. Just like with Evil Dead Rise, all the TikTok hype about The Deliverance had me rolling my eyes so hard I almost saw my own brain. The way people were out here acting like this movie was the second coming of The Exorcist—I can’t. Like, honey, calm down. This movie isn’t possessing anyone except my patience, and it’s about to make me lose my mind from sheer boredom, not terror. I don’t know what these people are watching, but it’s not the same movie I sat through. 3.5/10, And That’s Me Being Generous: Now, let’s talk about this rating. 3.5/10. And honestly, I’m only giving it that because I’m feeling nice. This movie doesn’t deserve anything higher. It’s like they forgot they were supposed to be making a horror movie and just threw together some random scenes with a dash of fake blood. Cute for them, but not for me. The only redeeming quality—and I do mean the only one—was the message about faith in Jesus. I’ll give them that. They tried to be inspirational with their Christian message, and I can respect that. But guess what? I wasn’t here for a sermon. I was here for a scary movie, and on that front, they failed hard. If I wanted to strengthen my faith, I’d go to church, not this half-baked mess they’re calling a movie. You Want Horror? This Ain’t It. Let’s be real for a second. If you’re looking for a horror movie to actually, you know, scare you, this ain’t it. This isn’t even close. It’s not just bad, it’s tragically bad. The kind of bad where you wonder how it even made it past the scriptwriting phase. The kind of bad that makes you question why you wasted two hours of your life on it. Think of the worst horror movie you’ve ever seen. Now multiply that by a million, and The Deliverance still wouldn’t come close. It’s the definition of disappointment. I went in expecting at least a few jump scares, a creepy atmosphere, something. What I got instead was a hot mess with all the thrill of waiting in line at the DMV. No thanks. Final Thoughts, Darling: So, here’s the deal: save your time. Save your energy. Save your popcorn for something better, because this movie is not worth any of it. If you want horror, go watch Hereditary, The Conjuring, or even Scream. Those movies understood the assignment. The Deliverance? Not so much. This movie tried to do two things: scare us and deliver a Christian message. It failed spectacularly at one and only barely succeeded at the other. And while I can appreciate the message of faith, that’s not why I tuned in. I tuned in for horror, and horror it did not deliver. So, in summary: hard pass. 3.5/10, and I’m already moving on to something better.

Glenn Close (Jagged Edge) seems like to be having a blast but everyone else is under the stiff direction of Lee Daniels (Shadowboxer) and it’s an bland exorcism movie

Brilliantly done. It’s heart wrenching ….a mom doing the best she can and saves her babies from an evil plaguing her family. Tugged all the heart strings and surpassed any typical “exorcist” movie for me. She delivered her family from evil against all odds! Loved it

Promising start, well framed, decent acting, but more and more just all over the place upto a finale that was hard to watch. Really disappointing.
