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.

2/5

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...

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.

This is really good . I don't understand this rating , that's the first horror movie with a really good story , it's finally none of those horror movies with no stories or no deep stories. It's different than other horror movies, please watch it.

Love the movie personally. I get some of the bashing cause seriously a nypd cop becoming a demon hunter, i dunnooo. But It is still one of my faves, I like the whole writing and idea of the movie and I think it is well executed.

Started out promising but second half is slow, it takes too long to progress and i don't think demonic part works well.
