A nun pregnant with a devil twin! A murderous one-eyed priest! This film had all the right elements, but the plot just drags on
Expectant parents, look away now. Deliver Us takes a leaf out of the books of the likes of Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen by giving us a nun in Russia who is apparently pregnant with twins – one the antichrist, one the son of God. The Vatican sends in Father Fox to investigate, and all sorts of visions and dreams and shenanigans ensue. If you’ve ever wanted to see a naked bride of Christ plunge deliriously into a cross-shaped hole in the surface of a frozen lake in the dead of night, you’ve come to the right place.
Deliver Us might have a hokey sort of premise, but it’s one that has the potential to spawn a neat little horror movie. However, the film has loftier ambitions,...

I usually don’t pay too much attention to what the church has to say, but then The Catholic Review referred to Deliver Us as “A blast furnace of blasphemy” and continued, saying that “Deliver Us” (Magnet), also is an amalgam of gore and nudity.” How could I pass up a film that came so highly recommended?
It certainly opens on a bloody note as a row of kneeling men and women are killed and skinned for the elaborate tattoos on their backs. In a remote Russian convent Sister Yulia awakes from a nightmare of the killings and finds she’s showing the signs of the Stigmata. Even more shocking, she’s pregnant with twins, and still a virgin.
Laura is also pregnant,...

In parts, the morbid mood Deliver Us aimed for hits just the right spot, and you’re left with the feeling that they knew exactly what they were doing. Then there are the perplexing terrains in this temperamental indie where you’re dropped without a compass. What the ambitious team of Lee Roy Kunz and Cru Ennis has achieved with this part-English, part-Russian, and part-Estonian horror is pulling you into an experience to remember. The goal, seemingly, was to give the audience no option but to willfully surrender to this wholly erratic world. A world where each significant turn promises just as much grotesque pleasure as it does dread. It makes all the sense in the world to have the sickening spasms of pregnancy horror chased by hellhounds of religious horror. And to add priests to the mix with no exorcism in sight? Now, that’s what I call bold.

Horror Film School is a new feature in which talent in front of and behind the camera share the ins and outs of creating the biggest onscreen scares.
Creative duo Lee Roy Kunz and Cru Ennis wrote and directed the religious indie horror film “Deliver Us,” which was just released in select theaters and VOD. The story — a nun mysteriously gets pregnant with twins and is investigated by a representative of the Vatican (played by Kunz), worried that one will be the Messiah and one will be the Antichrist — sounds like it would touch on many of the same ideas as other films released this year, such as “The Pope’s Exorcist” and the upcoming “The Exorcist: Believer.” But the visually-stirring work relies on impressive sets, creative camerawork, dynamic lighting and an appreciation for Biblical images in order to maintain a constant sense of fear and unease. Here, the duo recommend...

A really wet Friday in New York – National Weather Service flash flood warning wet – is likely to take a bite out of specialty film in one of its biggest markets this weekend. Alamo Drafthouse shut its NYC locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island until further notice due to “severe flooding in and around the area,” saying “Please everyone stay dry & stay safe, and we hope to have you back at the movies very soon.” Subways are jammed up and the water makes it hard to get around.

The Los Angeles premiere of “Deliver Us” was held Wednesday, September 27, 2023 at The Landmark Westwood in Los Angeles. Gold Derby associate editor Latasha Ford was on the red carpet to interview star, producer, writer and director Lee Roy Kunz, producer and cinematographer Isaac Bauman and producer and director Cru Ennis. Check out the exclusive red carpet interviews above!
Kunz didn’t originally plan on playing the main character, and admits his revealing nude scene wasn’t easy. “That was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done as an actor,” he says. “We had female nudity so we couldn’t just shoot it with me covered up. I think it added a lot, after he’s done what he’s done, to then be so broken and vulnerable. It’s very Adam and Eve, seeing each other’s nakedness for the first time and accepting all the flaws.”

"If they are born, they will bring about the end of days." Magnolia Pictures has revealed the official trailer for a religious horror thriller film titled Deliver Us, from filmmakers Cru Ennis & Lee Roy Kunz. This was originally titled Kill the Child, which is too dark and frightening to use as a title. There's so many strange things about this - she's a Russian Nun, then they try to stop her pregnancy, of course those "bad guys", so she goes on the run. According to an ancient prophecy, a woman will give birth to identical twin boys: one will be the Messiah, and the other the Anti-Christ. When Sister Yulia claims to have immaculately conceived twins, the Vatican sends a team of priests to investigate. They are joined by affiliates of a secret society, the Vox Dei. However, an American Jesuit, Father Fox, discovers their plan and helps her to escape.

This dramatic war thriller follows soldier Jack Farmer (Luke Moran) from small town America to Iraq’s most infamous prison, Abu Ghraib, where he’s tasked with guarding the Army’s highest priority detainees. Pressured by his superior (Sean Astin) into using harsh techniques on a seemingly innocent detainee (Omid Abtahi), the seductive allure of war quickly turns to a haunting reality that threatens to break him.
War. What is it good for? Well seemingly it’s good for churning out war film after war film. Some bad. Some good. Thankfully Prisoner of War falls into the latter camp. Produced by the same people behind Traffic and Blood Diamond, the films is loosely based...

Cool title for an indie thriller, right? Delirium is a completely new project which comes from Lee Roy Kunz and Cru Ennis, and the good thing is that we won’t have to wait long to hear something new about it, because the movie is currently shooting in Europe and Los Angeles.
In case you’re still wondering why Beatrice Rosen as our cover girl, here’s the answer! Rosen, probably best known as that Natascha girl from The Dark Knight, is already set to play in Delirium, together with Kunz, Ennis, Julia Snigir and Tyler Shields.
The movie will center on the heir to a shipping fortune, played by Kunz, who wakes up to find that reality is dissolving around him with his sister kidnapped, his father unwilling to pay the ransom and Interpol and the Russian mob after him.
But worst of all, he can’t remember where...
