Director Scott Derrickson continues to have a reliably firm grasp on creepy atmosphere, but Deliver Us from Evil's lack of original scares is reflected in its shopworn title.

The director Scott Derrickson seems uncertain as to whether he is making an exploitation pic intended to give audiences a few fairground-style thrills and frights, or a William Friedkin-style meditation on the nature of evil. Aug 22, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

My faith, tested by use of the Doors as a Satanic conduit, vanished for ever the instant a possessed piano bashed out Pop Goes the Weasel. Aug 21, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

With its Stygian production design and Bovril-on-the-lens aesthetic, the film works so hard to make an ordinary Bronx day feel like hell, you'll wonder what's left for the afterlife. Aug 21, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

An impressively staged climactic exorcism compensates in part for the random, far-fetched storytelling that precedes it. Aug 19, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It's hard not to want to avert your eyes and that makes up, marginally, for the otherwise clichéd screenplay. Aug 14, 2019 | Full Review…

[Director Scott Derrickson] arrives well-equipped with an intuitive sense of genre-specific trickery, yet this heavily derivative psychological horror ultimately fails to add depth and character to a disappointing mélange of predictable jumps and scares. Apr 2, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Derrickson fails to convince us that his film is anything more than a run-of-the-mill creep show, but at the very least it delivers scares aplenty. Apr 2, 2019 | Rating: 6.9/10 | Full Review…

Deliver us from Evil offers too much of the same thing... may future horror films deliver us from the evils of repetitiveness. Mar 8, 2019 | Full Review…

Director Scott Derrickson... gets the mood right and builds some suspense. Unfortunately, it leads to a rather pedestrian finish that feels like reheated leftovers from much better films. Jan 31, 2019 | Full Review…

Deliver Us from Evil is an okay way to get a few shivers to combat the summer heat. It's derivative and doesn't totally hang together, but it gets the job done. Jan 11, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review…
