Films like Deliver Us from Evil.

Deliver Us from Evil (1979) reads as Heavy, steady, measured hungarian / drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
