DELIVER US FROM EVIL (2009)
A film by Ole Bornedal
From the director of horror film classic ‘Nightwatch’, DELIVER US
FROM EVIL is a chilling portrait of a family torn apart by violence
and envy.
In search of a new lifestyle, Johannes and his wife leave the city
and move with their two children to his childhood town in the
countryside. Violence erupts when truck driver Lars, Johannes's
wayward brother, runs over a local woman and pins the blame on
the town’s Bosnian refugee. When Johannes stands up for the man
and gives him shelter, Lars and his friends head for Johannes's
secluded house, armed with a shotgun and boundless rage...
Compared by critics to cult classic ‘Straw Dogs’, and reminiscent of
Michael Haneke’s work, DELIVER US FROM EVIL is an
unforgettable journey into the darkness of the human psyche.
tense, exciting thriller… it's all but impossible to look away.”
