3/10
Not much good to say about this one.

Warning: Spoilers
Tales from the Darkside: Deliver Us from Goodness starts as Valeria Cantrell (Kaiulani Lee) realises that God sees her as a saint & has blessed her with the power to make miracles happen as well as glow like a light-bulb at inappropriate moments. However being a saint isn't as much fun as it sounds & Valeria decides the only way to stop being a saint is to sin & break the ten commandment's...

Episode 10 from season 3 this Tales from the Darkside story originally aired in the US during November 1986, directed by Warner Shook one has to say that Deliver Us from Goodness is pretty poor & I can't really think to say anything positive about it. The script by Jule Selbo is some strange light hearted fantasy that really doesn't make any sense & I am unsure as to who it was meant to appeal to. The story is weak, it's rather dull, not that much happens, it's more of a comedy than a sinister horror or thriller & it's not an episode I would ever want to see again. Even at a short twenty minute duration it seemed to last forever & I found myself pretty bored with it. I didn't like it & it's as simple & straight forward as that really.

Again shot on only two sets with a minimum cast of actors there isn't anything overly memorable about Deliver Us from Goodness apart from the rubbish storyline. The title is obviously a play on the phrase deliver us from evil. The acting is alright.

Deliver Us from Goodness is a silly light hearted comedic tale that I really don't know who would enjoy, anyone looking for any sort of horror or sinister supernatural elements should look elsewhere.
