Synopsis
When Yulia, a nun living in a remote convent, claims immaculate conception, the Vatican sends a team of priests to investigate. Concerns grow about an ancient prophecy that a woman will give birth to twin boys: one the Messiah, the other the Anti-Christ. Hearing her unborn children speak to her, Yulia becomes convinced that she’s been chosen by God. Following the arduous birth of her twins, the world around Yulia – and that of everyone she knows – begins to collapse into chaos. The prophecy demands the evil child must be sacrificed in order to save humanity. Torn between her motherly instincts and the fate of the world, Yulia is faced with the ultimate battle between good and evil.
“Deliver Us is a theological horror film that explores religious prophecies from various cultures throughout history,” directors Lee Roy Kunz and Cru Ennis said in a statement. “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.”
