HORROR NEWS - SINISTER Director Scott Derrickson Churns Out Another: DELIVER US FROM EVIL

Scott Derrickson's (Sinister, The Exorcism of Emily Rose) next flick, Deliver Us From Evil, has released it's first trailer. Meh. The formula really shines through in this one. I know that some of you like this kind of stuff so I'll keep my bashing to a minimum outside of reviews, but if you've seen my review for Sinister you can probably hazard to guess that I'm not exactly excited about this one.

Deliver Us From Evil stars Eric Bana, Olivia Munn and Joel McHale and focuses on “New York police officer Ralph Sarchie (Bana), struggling with his own personal issues, begins investigating a series of disturbing and inexplicable crimes. He joins forces with an unconventional priest (Ramirez), schooled in the rituals of exorcism, to combat the frightening and demonic possessions that are terrorizing their city. Based upon the book, which details Sarchie’s bone-chilling real-life cases.”

Head below for the trailer and keep an eye out for it in theaters this summer.

Sinister (2012) - A Review

 

“Once you see him, nothing can save you.”

Oh Scott Derrickson and Blumhouse Productions, we meet again. Once again, you’ve lured me into your traps and have successfully devoured yet another slice of my horror soul, one that I will never see again. 

Sinister is a film that I have put off seeing for a quite a while. I’m not a huge fan of this style, I often think that its scares are cheap and its storylines are moronic at best, but I decided to give it an unbiased shot. I hate close-minded horror viewers and I try not to be one. I always love when I can watch a horror movie by a director/production company that I have previously disliked, or avoided, and they are able to make me change my opinion. That’s a sure-fire way to make me a lifelong fan. So last night, I ponied up to a 2 hour viewing of Sinister and here I am, writing this review once again convinced that I need to trust my gut instinct. 

Now, I know a lot of people are huge fans of this film. I will say that I went into this film excited to see it and ready to give it a genuine shot. My views may not be very favorable in this, as a lot of it is venting and expressing personal opinion. If you do not want to read something like that, please do not read past the break. If you want to know my thoughts, I’d love to hear yours as well. I do my best to foster an open minded environment on this blog, so I felt the need to present this warning to anybody who may be a fan of this film.
