Film Review - The Deliverance

DELIVERENCE 4

“The Deliverance” is based on the story of LaToya Ammons, who claimed demons were responsible for violent behaviors involving children in her household in 2011, eventually turning to the church for help with exorcism needs. Such tales of satanic possession are popular these days, and the feature seems eager to replicate the success of “The Conjuring” franchise, once again partnering overwhelmed innocence with a God-fearing enforcer. The difference here is director Lee Daniels, the often overheated helmer of “Precious,” “The Paperboy,” and “The United States vs. Billie Holiday.” In his hands, “The Deliverance” is stripped of spookiness and nuance, coming very close to becoming the camp classic of 2024. There’s a lot of real-world suffering involved in this story, but hope for an understanding of one woman’s pain is punted away in the final hour, which becomes like every other evil extraction movie in the marketplace.
