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.

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.

It's hard not to want to avert your eyes and that makes up, marginally, for the otherwise clichéd screenplay.

This is a smart blend of cop drama, thriller and paranormal elements.

Independent (UK)

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.

Deliver Us From Evil does what it says on the tin and provides a straightforward genre piece.

Scott Derrickson’s Deliver Us From Evil comes across and is masked as a paranormal horror film, but really it’s more of a crime drama about a man who has his own demons...

Rated: B

Deliver us from Evil is quite a good horror movie, though it falls short of anything like greatness. It has a fantastic cast anchored by the aforementioned Bana and Joel McHale, and features some truly grotesque imagery and tense situations.

One of my favorite movies of all-time. So does not deserve either ratings it has. Dark, gritty, cop drama, and good acting. One of Scott Derrickson’s best.

Amazing! Power of god always wins. Great movie with fantastic acting and extremely good makeup. The costume designs were very creepy and vivid and the suspense was shocking to say the least. Only complaint I would have is the jump scares were easily foreseen and not very scary. But the movie would have done amazing with out them anyways. I would suggest this to anyone who likes crime and horror!

This is one of the best horror movies ever made, it has a great storyline and the actors are so compelling. Sean Harris and Olivia Horton are by far the most frightening possessed characters I have ever saw on screen, I still get chills thinking of them, I am a huge horror movie fan and have saw a lot of bad horror movies, but this is not one of them, Its spine chilling

About as complex as the back of a cereal box. Tried and tired police procedural tropes, mixed in with christian mythology. Predictable at every turn and just plain boring.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

If you want to spend some time watching a good story with paranormal elements that are within the acceptable range without being grotesque or bloody, this is an option. If you are very picky and want to watch a movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this is not it.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
