Deliverance

I saw it again about 10 years ago.
It was OK.
A lot of the book is left out, particularly when he's climbing the cliff.

The feeling of being dunked in the water was quite good for its time.
I remember gasping in the cinema when your viewpoint went glug under water

It is pretty good, worth watching.
There is a violent rape scene, and some other random violence, dunno if watching that would scare you off.

I saw it once, that was enough. Not worth owning.

Quite good, a bit slow in parts but well worth watching. As for scary - hm I'd never thought about it as scary, more about a journey with mates where something went wrong & how it keeps developing from there...

i can't find it to rent, and as i'm no fan of downloading... i thought of buying it.

thanks for your opinions.

it has a couple of classic scenes: the dueling banjos scene is a classic (Father Ted took the piss out of it quite well in one of the episodes) and the 'squeal like a pig scene'. I enjoyed it anyway.

The music is good

I think deliverance is far more chilling/scary than a lot of 'horror' films that just rely on gore to shock you.

(that wasn't a dig at you, Ria).

"You just drop them bridges, boy. Now squeal! Squeal like a piggie!" A true classic. Enjoy!
