4/10
Obscure blaxploitation thriller
21 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
DELIVER US FROM EVIL is an obscure blaxploitation thriller given the sparkling high definition treatment by Code Red. The print still has some obvious damage but that only serves to give it a grindhouse feel. The plot features a bunch of assorted characters who are variously oppressed and ill-used by society, with a violent street gang becoming the major antagonists. A lot of the running time is made up of low rent emoting but there's a great deal of volatility here and some action. Tragedy lurks around every corner and you get the feeling that there will be few happy endings for any of the principals. The cast are unknown and the indie treatment gives this a rough look and feel, but it's gritty with it.
