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.

Deliver Us From Evil

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.

Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint 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 Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association This is a smart blend of cop drama, thriller and paranormal elements. Mar 21, 2017 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab 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. Rated: 2/5 Aug 22, 2014 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Deliver Us From Evil does what it says on the tin and provides a straightforward genre piece. Rated: 6/10 Sep 30, 2024 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film 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 Aug 19, 2024 Full Review Alexander Joenks Pajiba 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. Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Aun M NYPD cops as ghost cop in the movie, 1st half of the movie is good full of suspense and horror but the 2nd half is very sleepy besides movie tempo is very slow and 75% of movie has night and dark scenes. Overall, this horror film could not give a tear-jerking impression. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Muhammad I It was just an Okay movie. Was scared 6/10 but the ending ruined it all. Nothing follower any logic. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/08/25 Full Review Jenn F. kept me on my toes the whole time!! Excellent movie 🤘🏻 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review Mela P I really don’t understand the bad ratings. It’s a good movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It’s an interesting mix of police procedural and supernatural elements. Santino is spectacularly creepy; Sean Harris did a great job there. The rest of the cast also did a good job and Bana and Ramirez make a great team. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Meg G I truly do not get the hate for this movie by the credits and by people who watched it. I thought it was a really refreshing take on the exorcist trope, and I thought that the performances were great. The ending section had one of the most unique make ups that I’ve ever seen, and I thought that the acting was very strong. It might’ve been a bit corny at the end, but I thought it was much much better than people seem to think it is here. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Patrick R I didn't think much of Eric Bana in the beginning of his career, but recently, I've seen more than a few of his movies I enjoyed so I was more than willing to give this a shot. In the first 30 minutes, with the bad New York accents, Joel McHale playing a bad-ass, I wasn't expecting much more, but I've enjoyed lots of films that weren't great if I let go. But it just kept getting better. The acting actually was moving me. The whole vibe was drawing me in. By the wild ass ending, I was hooked and almost had tears coming. Y'all, it's not the greatest movie, but I bought in and loved it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
