byronhold As far as "found footage" films go, this one is certainly of the best. Although the story isn't groundbreaking, there's a fantastic amount of character development. I was really more impressed with the film after watching the special features, however. The fact that the film was shot in two weeks amazed me, as it felt as though I was watching a true nine month journey. Also the fact a huge portion of the film was improvised shows the skills of the two primary actors. I also was impressed by the research done into the making of reality television shows, in order to make the first segment more authentic. My only issues were with the same factors many other reviewers have stated. Kyle could be such a jerk in many scenes. Also the home birth was insane. A high risk pregnancy coupled with growing mental instability? Certainly a situation for a hospital. The only thing I do wish that had been done is having more doubt cast on whether the Producer, Rick was the one really responsible for the strange occurrences. All in all, though fun to watch.

Guillermo Bosque Summary: The performances were good and the ending was shocking for some people, but in general Delivery: The Beast Within lacks of scares and entertainment. It is dull and trashy. 33/100 (D+)Delivery: The Beast Within is directed by Brian Netto and tells the story of Kyle and Rachel Massy, a young couple who agree to document their first pregnancy for a family-oriented reality show. The production spirals out-of-control after the cameras capture a series of unexplained events, leading Rachel to believe that a malevolent spirit has possessed their unborn child. I will make it easy to you, look at the poster, then watch the trailer and the last 5 minutes of the movie. That's it. It promises a lot and delivers nothing. First of all, this film is somewhat derivative. It offers little to the genre, and there's nothing special or original about it. It's not an awful movie, it's just boring.It is filled with so many tired clichés, such as: the dog that obviously dies, camera malfunctions, etc. You have seen it before, skip it. There were a few original ideas like all the paintings of the pregnant woman and how her art has changed since she's pregnant. I actually liked the first act of the film, it was well executed, but as the film goes, it became boring, and the found-footage made it even more tedious. It has good performances, shout-out here to Laurel Vail, she's the protagonist and the best thing about this flick; she was believable and scary. The main actor Danny Barclay was pretty good too, but his character was annoying at times.This director has lots of potential, this film has some great ideas, for example how this pregnant woman expresses her demonic side through her paintings. This movie had its sad and tense moments. For a moment, I really felt like I was watching a TV show, good job director! But this was at the beginning of the film, as I said above. I liked the first minutes of the movie because the found- footage was effective, but after the first half, this format became tedious. It had its moments, but it was boring as a whole. Maybe with a few more bucks and without the found-footage, it would be a decent movie. I'm still interested on this director. What will he do next? (D+)

stansellb I've become disenfranchised with the supernatural-based horror genre. Probably because I've grown up and not a lot truly scares me anymore. In fact I think movies with fully represented and fleshed out monsters are more funny than scary. I find myself creeped out more by horror films that have some sense of... I don't want to say 'realism' but at least some sense of plausibility to them with as few supernatural requirements as possible, which is why I think I like Delivery. In the end, nothing truly supernatural happens, which is what I think some people were expecting, but I think this film continues in the tradition of The Blair Witch (hey, it wasn't that bad) in letting your imagination do all the work. I find the ending of this film to be far more shocking than if an actual demon did pop out of her. And in the age of reality shows that are more or less exactly like this, I think the set up of this film was perfectly staged. Again, not for everyone. But if you're looking for a good psychological scare, check this one out.

onosideboard 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.
