Interview by Paul Salfen
When a nun in a remote convent claims immaculate conception, the Vatican sends a team of priests to investigate, concerned about an ancient prophecy that a woman will give birth to twin boys: one the Messiah, the other the Anti-Christ.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: Deliver Us is a theological horror film that explores religious prophecies from various cultures throughout history. A universal thread in world religions is the story of feuding brothers: Cain and Abel, Thor and Loki, Set and Osiris, Zeus and Hades, and in our case Jesus and Lucifer. We center our story around identical twin brothers to tap into this cultural consciousness and to explore “the problem of evil”–the question of why a good and all-powerful God would permit the flourishing of evil. By presenting this existential dilemma within the horror genre, we aim to engage viewers on multiple levels to not just frighten but provide a thought-provoking experience.
