Delivery

Decent found footage horror about a woman giving birth to a demon child. Seemed kinda slow and points but the ending is rather shocking. Its worth seeing but only once.

Nowhere fast found footage flick about a reality show centered on a couple and their first pregnancy. A most predictable tale about a first time mom-to-be who momentarily lost the baby but then lo! they found a heartbeat the next morning! Yay! Except the dog hates her upon her return from the hospital. Not only that but she's changed; she's mean and moody like she never was before. On top of that she's developed a taste for raw meat, and, last but not least, scary voices come out of her. It's all so predictable and there isn't one scare, not even from all the millions of attempts at jump scares (maybe more).

Overall, I enjoyed this film, although I went in with rather low expectations. For a low-budget movie, the performances were quite good, and even though it takes a leisurely pace, I was not bored. With only a couple of jump scares, the film depends on a slow burn of building tension.

I don't why user reviews here are so extreme -- it seems like the only people who write reviews either absolutely love the movie or completely loathe it. Me? I liked it.I found it entertaining. It wasn't the best movie I have ever seen, but I'm not sorry I watched it. The reviewer that compares this movie to Rosemary's Baby is nuts -- should we declare every drama made since Citizen Kane terrible because it's not as good as Citizen Kane?

Delivery has a decent, if not particularly fresh, premise: strange things start happening around a pregnant woman. It's filmed in the ubiquitous "found footage" style that too many low-budget horror projects use these days as a crutch to disguise poor production quality. In Delivery, however, the style is done well, and the production quality is good. The acting is solid, the pacing is tight, and the dialogue is believable enough. I noticed one plot hole (that the otherwise intelligent couple want to have a home birth with a midwife despite being an extremely high-risk pregnancy), but it doesn't ruin the movie at all. This is really more of a thriller than a traditional horror, as it's more creepy and tense than scary.

All in all, I'm glad I saw Delivery, it was an enjoyable way to spend a rainy Saturday night, even if it wasn't a classic on par with Rosemary's Baby, lol.

This one took me by surprise. I was engrossed the whole way through. And that ending!!! Don't listen to the nay sayers. This was scary in its relatability.
