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.

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…

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…

These wellworn devices might have been more effective had Derrickson managed to link them to a compelling central idea. Jul 23, 2014 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

Director Scott Derrickson and his co-writer, Paul Harris Boardman, deliver a routine procedural with unremarkable frights. Jul 7, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Director Scott Derrickson demonstrates a knack for atmosphere but little sense of pacing; some sequences are effectively spooky (particularly one set at the Bronx Zoo), though just as many feel uninspired. Jul 6, 2014 | 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…

Overall, I recommend it, you may not find it frightening but I'm pretty sure you will be entertained. Oct 14, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

... if you are looking for a few screams, jumps and subsequent spillage of popcorn then you could do a lot worse than go and see this movie. Aug 21, 2018 | Full Review…

I will say that there are some genuinely creepy scenes in the film. It is clear that there were a lot of great, unconnected ideas behind the film, but unfortunately all of these sincere scares got strung together without much context. Aug 21, 2018 | Full Review…

Run of the mill exorcist/possession horror movie.
Super Reviewer
The background music is terrible, and the story fails to hold attention.
I'd rather watch the exorcism.
Although resorting a bit too much to cheap scares created by thunderous chords, this is a very efficient and creepy-as-hell horror movie (inspired by allegedly real events) that uses a great sound design and an exemplary, nasty production design to take us inside an extremely eerie atmosphere.
