A horror movie that’s more silly than scary is rocketing up the Netflix charts

Suspension of disbelief has always been one of the key components to the success of the horror genre, but if you push things a little too far in the wrong direction, scares and atmosphere can often be replaced by unintentional laughs and inadvertent absurdity.

With an intriguing concept backed by a marketing campaign that shilled the tried-and-trusted ‘inspired by actual events’ tag to drum up more interest, Deliver Us from Evil came packing plenty of potential. That’s without even mentioning the presence of accomplished horror veteran Scott Derrickson as co-writer and director, or a cast that featured Eric Bana, Edgar Ramirez, Olivia Munn, Sean Harris and more.
