The Delivered (2019)

I've been watching these recent, extremely cheap westerns. I just wanted to know what they looked like, what you could get away with if you wanted to make a commercially viable three-day movie. No sex or nudity. They make up for the lack of drama, stunts or excitement with sheer brutality. In one, the villains kick and beat the sheriff, nail him in a coffin while he's alive, fire their guns into the coffin then douse it in kerosene and set it on fire while the man's son watches from a jail cell they locked him in.

So, for a change of pace, I watched this movie. It was an hour and fifty minutes, made in England, set in the 17th century. A puritan couple and their son come home from church and find a naked degenerate couple in their barn. Cromwellian law enforcement is on their trail. They seem like a nice couple. The man plays with the Puritan couple's poor son, so the kid's father canes him (the son).

I won't go into it, but it becomes terribly violent toward the end.

It made me think a little of The Virgin Spring. Devoutly religious farmers are tough customers, not that it did this fellow much good.
