What to know

critics consensus

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. Read critic reviews

Movie Info

As a veteran member of a South Bronx precinct, NYPD Sgt. Ralph Sarchie (Eric Bana) has seen more than his share of dark and horrifying events -- so many that they have begun to poison his soul. Sarchie further finds his beliefs and understanding pushed to the limit when he and his partner investigate a particularly bizarre incident. He forms an alliance with a renegade priest (Edgar Ramírez), who tries to convince Sarchie that real evil -- and demons -- do exist.

Audience Reviews for Deliver Us From Evil

  • Jun 04, 2017
    I had put this film off for a long time and I must admit it should've stayed on the shelf. Eric Bana trounces over dead dialogue at every corner and a partner dies without a second mention. This is a bad film, not horrendously terrible film, just bad. The concept seemed interesting and now I seen the reviews I can't believe I never checked out RT beforehand. The real shock is the director involved did Doctor Strange and this film feels like Michael Bay, how marvel selected him after this film is amazing. This was a lazy horror film that gave no merit to supporting characters and the messy concept proves erratic. I was bored once we hit the detectives, the only interesting section was the opening prologue. Uninspired filmmaking and a somewhat career blow for Bana. 04-06-2017.

    Run of the mill exorcist/possession horror movie.

    Not as scary as the Conjuring but some decent jump out of your seat moments but you have to suspend your belief to completely buy into this supposed true story. Bana and Ramiirez are good and it s perfect for Halloween! 10-27-2014

    The background music is terrible, and the story fails to hold attention.
