Wes Craven has always been an enigma to me as a filmmaker. He has an academic background and he seems to put intellectual content into each of his new screenplay projects, but the resulting movies that he either writes or directs usually end up being intellectually shallow and only half-rewarding as scare film pieces--and scares are all that seem to make it into the final soup. Well, in the case of "Deadly Blessing", it was not Craven's original idea or screenplay, but his directorial hand seems to be grasping for a firm grip on the material throughout. "...Blessing" was written by Matthew Barr and Glenn M. Benest as an original script (that's "story" to the WGA), based upon a National Geographic article about the Amish (don't laugh) and their peculiar anti-society living methods, and the idea was to write an independent horror film since Barr had always been an aspiring filmmaker and Benest had a background in poetry writing and theater. Still, it's a shame that Craven's reworking of their initial draft (he claimed that their were "structural problems" when he spoke rather dismissively about the original story on the audio commentary track offered here) seems to have diluted their main source of ideas--I have no idea what the original hand-written script contained, but I have an inkling that the resulting picture is quite a bit removed from its initial source play. Craven's movies are always interesting conceptually, but sometimes the resulting films themselves are a little lacking.
"Deadly Blessing" is something like a murder mystery film that feels as if a tacked on shock ending were included merely for the purpose of getting more die-hard horror fans into the theaters to rally behind it--the tactic didn't work, since "Deadly Blessing" almost immediately fell between the sheets of cinematic obscurity. Although Craven complains in the audio commentary that the women are "too glamorous" (and there is a bit of nudity on behalf of actress Maren Jensen--what a little hottie!), I think it is by now obvious that the three beautiful leads are what sell this picture, and even the lovely Lois Nettleton turns in a solid performance here as yet another pretty face on display (she was in a "Twilight Zone" episode, and I think even a "Night Gallery" or two...). Anyway, if you don't like spiders and snakes in your movies (and some gore), "Deadly Blessing" will not be for you, but for the most part it is a clever horror film, suspenseful, uneasy, and inventive, with an apostate son returning to his Hittite family in the middle of nowhere, which sets off a chain of events that lead to the unraveling of a strange murder mystery case. Although the plot can be a bit confusing for a horror film, James Horner's chilling and choir-driven score gives this one a proper layer of menace that it may not have had otherwise.
The extras on this Scream Factory disc are typically impressive and prove to me once again why it is never a waste of time or money to invest in their quality line of reissued films on either DVD or Blu-Ray. The "Rise of the Incubus" extra features the man who was head of Special Development Projects at Don Post as he discusses how the demon creature for the film was constructed--frankly, he looks a bit bewildered that he's even talking about this, but it's a brief extra. The interview with actor Michael Berryman is typically friendly and informative, as he discusses his relationship with Wes Craven and makes a plea for younger filmmakers to not forget about actors of his generation when doing casting calls for new pictures. The interview with actress Susan Buckner is pretty brief, but she mentions that she enjoyed making the film and offers some amusing insights into how she was cast. The best interview feature, running about twenty minutes in length, is "So it was Written," in which the film's two screenwriters discuss how their script was picked up by three independent film company funders and eventually noticed by Wes Craven. The two of them also discuss their backgrounds in theater and film work and discuss how they came to be collaborators upon this very unusual horror film. The trailer, TV spots, and radio spots are all quite good. The audio commentary by Wes Craven (moderated by Shawn Clark of HORROR HOUND magazine and the TV program "Horror's Hallowed Grounds") gives a lot of insight into his relationship with Sharon Stone (Stone, I believe, was more interested in Craven's wife, but I'm not really sure what was going on there!), how he came to cast certain parts, and what his feelings are about the difficulties of shooting films very quickly and then having to deal with interference from the studio and the two main producers (Jon Peters and Peter Guber, who were back here just getting started for the kind of heights that they would climb in the future). Overall, this is the ONLY copy of "Deadly Blessing" that you will ever need on home media, with great extras and an extraordinary picture/sound transfer. A-

5.0 out of 5 stars Deadly Blessing Rules!
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2013

If you are a fan of 1980's horror/suspense, the you will love Deadly Blessing. Personally, I've always had a crush on Maren Jensen. Her character on Battlestar Galactica was prominent at first, then forgotten about as the episodes went on. She is fine in the role of Martha, a widow left alone after the mysterious murder of her husband who was going to the shed to pack bearings on his tractor. Michael Berryman, Ernest Borgnine, Sharon Stone and the rest were a delight to watch. I have been waiting for this movie to be available on at least DVD for 10 years or more. I bought a used VHS from Amazon just to see it again. The blu ray transfer is just fine. The darks are exactly the way that I like them, and the subtle soft edges look great where they left the colors alone without messing with film grain. James Horner's score i spot on, and there are moments when I feel like I am listening to either "The Wrath of Kahn," or "Aliens."
Overall I am VERY pleased with this release and the extras are fabulous. I want to give a personal thanks to Scream Factory for delivering these older classics of sometimes forgotten films. This will be the 12th purchase I have made from them in High Definition and they are by far my favorite company. I LOVE that they do not forget the original classics from the 80's that paved the way for a generation of wannabe horror films.
Keep doing what you are doing! My only problem is that my wife is complaining that my movie area is getting too large for her liking. I can always hide some of them!

I read everything Clive Barker ever wrote and saw every move made with him. This movie was made the year my daughter was born and it shows. I am an old lady and cynical regarding movies. So, in honor to my daughters name, I give this a three star rating. (Don't tell her! ) But it didn't make me jump even once. The fact that the cast is female heavy is a boost to womens right to stand up and take their shirts off.

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2015

I liked this movie a lot. Wes Craven was not my favorite director. But I can see that he has much potential in the beginning of his works. In fact, I haven't watched any of the Freddie Movies, knowing how not like the master, Hitchcock was, that Wes had no hold boundaries when it came to torture, blood, and terror. I just couldn't stand them, no matter who played in them, and I believe John Depp was one of the first movies. I just couldn't do the movies, nor had any desire to do them.
I was surprised at the famous characters that Wes put into the cast, of which was excellent, and watching it knowing it is a 60's movie bring back for me a great remembrances of music, emotional uproar just being a kid growing or grown in to a man, and being restricted by faith. I do not agree with that upbringing but, I can see and was shown the value, yet the destruction of both family, values, and other very important things that we need just to love one another.
Sharon Stone was the best of the best in a part that wasn't the first part, but the actress that played the main part, could not have been casted better. I loved it when she, Sharon knew it was over, and looked at the monster coming at her, fire, she spoke, Oh My God, and that was that. The love making was sweet and honest, and two that were just trying to relieve a little stress, succumbed to death.

Este slasher ochentero de Wes Craven realizado en los inicios de su carrera, es una cinta poco conocido y underrated, y la verdad vale mucho la pena; demuestra que el slasher es su fuerte, posteriormente se consagraría con la saga Scream.
La cinta nos mantiene adivinando quién es el asesino, mientras el ‘body count’ va en ascenso, pero no solo eso: tiene 2 giros en la parte final que valen la pena.
Cabe mencionar, que la película es parte de los inicios de la carrera de una -en ese entonces- desconocida Sharon Stone.
Fue todo un placer recibir mi película con slipcover.

Reviewed in Canada on July 20, 2018

Great vintage, & underrated, early 80's Wes Craven horror film, pre-Nightmare on Elm Street. The commentary with Craven makes the purchase worth the price to upgrade onto Blu-ray. Sadly, Craven doesn't seem fond of the film, but its a good thriller, with supernatural elements. Sharon Stone made her first major appearance in this long forgotten gem of a thriller. Lots of attractive young actors & actresses from the early 80's. Beautiful shot, and the remaster is both excellent in picture quality & sound. Hard to find movie. 1981.

This is a pretty cool Wes craven horror movie that is long lost since it was made in 1981, this was the fifth movie that he made, the story is pretty cool with lots of bizarre things going on and has a very unexpected ending!! The movie stars a very young and sexy Sharon Stone in her first major film role, she appears in the movies most famous scene where a spider goes in her mouth!! This is a cool 80's gem worth picking up.

Thus reads the blurb on the reverse of this splendid ARROW DVD from 2011. Well presented with a notelet about the film and a large poster, also their catalogue and the3 Michael Berryman interview. The picture is excellent, tho I think Sharon Stone still had to master the art of talking (I had to ramp up the sound sometimes when she was whispering - Maybe Wes told her to??). A very worthwhile effort from Arrow. The film is still pretty scary, and has good parts for women - Maren Jensen Susan Buckner and Lois Nettleon and particularly Lisa Hartman all working well. Borgnine of course steals most scenes and is genuinely impressive. I think this is possibly Craven's best horror film even if, as others have said, the ending is confusing and perhaps irrelevant??? I recomend this to all horror/Craven fans, but beware if you have a spider or snake phobia.
