Director John Boorman's powerful and gripping film based on James Dickey's best selling novel. About four businessmen who set out on a whitewater rafting trip down a wild Georgia river, but their adventure soon becomes a nightmare of survival when they encounter two demented hill...( read more)
You can see that many of the modern movies copy some scenes of old classics like this one. Pity really.
Famous for two scenes, the dueling "banjos" and the squeal like a pig scene, there is actually a pretty good movie around those two scenes as well. A really good cast that had really showed their talents and intensity in this movie, it was something I could not turn away from. Th...( read more)
Disappointed!
I finally saw this cult movie (a few weeks ago on DVD), after having heard (more read) so many things about it, since years; even decades.
Another classic disappointing me...
:(
I can't understand it's so often quoted as a reference.
I can't understand it's so ofte...( read more)
I cant say that its a feel good movie, but this one will seer its way into your head for days. Not a bad movie... minus one pig scene. You'll find out.
very good movie ! jon voight was brilliant , but i watched it thinking it would be really f*cked up but its not , the only thing i found disturbing was that hillbilly song and the kid with the weird eyes lol but its a fantastic movie just dont watch it expectin to much brutality...( read more)
I personally did not like most of the movie and don't see the hype in it. Kind of boring.
An excellent piece of film making, but the "squeel piggy, squeel" scene isn't one that you'll forget in a hurry. A great cast and a tense, gritty thriller.
DELIVERANCE (1072)
directed by John Boorman (Hell in the Pacific)
featuring Burt Reynolds, John Voight, Ned Beatty, and Bill McKinney
from the novel by James Dickey
Four urban rednecks head for the Georgia mountains to canoe "the last wild, untamed, unpolluted, unf***ed-up rive...( read more)
Hell yes this movie rock your axx till the pigs come home with there banjos
An excellent and brutal thriller from John Boorman. It?s a classic, all that?s missing is Burt Reynolds?s moustache! 'Squeal like a piggy boy'!
A quite and beautiful trip to death. Deliverance, mainly applaused because of its shock value, bizarre plot and great cinematography, is a unique masterpiece to watch. With a great cast and unexpected moments (if you're not told the plot beforehand), this classic American gem may...( read more)
Talk about a thriller. This movie was about the primal instincts of man and it certainly delivered.
holy freaking crap this is scary. squeal like a pig just became the most spine chilling phrase on earth for me
Hard to imagine a movie more disturbing than this one. The hopelessness that comes in the movie is amazingly profound.
This was one weird movie! seeing Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ronny Cox, and Ned Beatty so young was a treat. If you're in the mood for something outta the norm, then give this one a view.
Great thriller. This film is about a canoe camping trip gone wrong. I thought it had a lot of suspense when they are in trouble and they try to figure out what to do. Voight, Reynolds, and Beatty were an outstanding cast. Boorman did a great job producing and directing.
Creepy, disturbing, and unforgettable. Deliverance packs a punch big enough to knock out an Elephant. It starts of nice an smoothly, and then it becomes almost a horror movie. You can tell while watching Deliverance how director John Booreman's direction has been copied, or has i...( read more)
I don't think I can say anything about this that has not already been said. I will leave it at that.
Very weird but I found Burt Reynolds pretty sexy in this movie. I usually hate hairy men! Great story about moral dilemmas.
You have to respect the people involved making this movie because i'm sure this was one fuckin hard movie to make. Damn good movie doh
The guitar music was cool :P The film however was a tad on the slow side for me, but I can see how it became so popular because the actors are very good, and there are some disturbing scenes. Overall just not for me I guess.
Can we say the Chattahoochee river in GA was never looked at the same for me...
creepy horror flick that the hills have eyes clearly took some inspirtation from. Well worth watching but not for the squemish.
It's hard to comprehend that the same bloke gave us "Exorcist 2" and the completely insane "Zardoz"
Makes me wanna go campin lol. Story still holds up after all these years, a classic. Watch with STRAW DOGS.
SIILL the reason some people refuse to go camping or go down a river!! By far one of my all time favorite movies.
This is a very good film. But not as frighten as everyone makes out it to be. The hillbillies are very scary though, as thery look so different from the city guys.
OK, we all know what Deliverance is remembered for. Doing a simple search for images on Google proved that. We all know about "squeal like a pig" and Jon Voight having a pretty mouth. Let's get beyond that now and discuss what is a powerful film about men and nature or we can tal...( read more)
One word...Squeel!
Voight & Reynolds. Voight iz awsum in this; hero. Gud film, worth wochin, strangely directed yet very clever!
almost wholesome by modern standards. A condemnation of the legal systems machinery. These guys would love to tell the truth of what happened to them, but know they would be destroyed and demonized by the Law if they did, so they have to lie..
memorable,.. and i'm not talking about the anal rape "squeal piggy. piggy squeal!" part... hahahaha. however it's ultimately average except for the odd scene that will scar your mind
Four city slickers go on a canoeing holiday in the backwaters of Georgia when they are attacked by a pair of gun toting mountain men. This sounds like a typical stalker-horror movie, but John Boorman brings a gritty realism to it that makes it all the more disturbing. Principally...( read more)
An interesting film. A bit long but stil very powerfull. Especially if u consider when it was made... Difficuly shots, nice landscapes and a good story.
Take a look if u find it.
All time Reynolds classic, gripping action thriller - features the iconic Duelling Banjo's duet.
