Last night was awesome. Did some trick or treating as an
Ebola Response Team member (pictures will be up soon) and went to see SAW at
the theater. Honestly, it was a awesome. Unfortunately, it also kept me from
the blog, but that is all right. The next review on tap is for the 2014 flick
Deliver Us From Evil.
Plot/ New York police officer Ralph Sarchie investigates a
series of crimes. He joins forces with an unconventional priest, schooled in
the rites of exorcism, to combat the possessions that are terrorizing their
city.
The movie is an interesting watch. Based loosely on true
events, this one travels into different genres and creates more of a
supernatural drama than true horror flick. Unfortunately, it may have also bit
off more than it could chew with the varying story elements. Sure, there are
some solid performances, a dark and eerie atmosphere, and the always positive
good versus evil / religious exorcism narrative that can be fun, but there are
also some flaws. Overall, the interesting premise has to battle some cliché
moments and predictability and at times struggles to keep up (not to mention
the uneven combat cinematography). In the end, this one does have some
entertaining moments and was actually more than I expected. Sure, it is not for
everyone, but it is better than most of the exorcism driven religious horror
that has come out lately.
