DELIVERANCE FROM EVIL is an awful wannabe horror outing shot in San Francisco and featuring a Hispanic cast and crew. The opening sequence - which is about the only interesting one in the film - features a little kid being killed in the bath by some kind of ghostly presence. The rest of the film then follows his parents as they initially grieve before they find themselves haunted by whatever it was killed the kid.
It's clear from the outset that this is a very cheap film but that's no excuse to make it so boring and lousy. 95% of the film is full of dull dialogue between the husband and wife, the husband and his friends, the wife and her friends, etc. There's very little in the way of incident to propel the narrative, just a few inexplicable events and then an abrupt ending. Bizarrely, the writer of Friday THE 13TH has a cameo as a postman; I guess that was the best 'guest star' they could come up with.
DELIVERANCE FROM EVIL really is a waste of time and the type of film which will test the patience of every viewer. The bits involving the exorcist are inexcusably bad and the acting is generally shoddy. With films like this I do wonder why they bothered.
