Deliver Us From Evil [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray] [2014]

Unlike most supernatural detective movies this one starts out pretty good, But then like most fail with weak over the top acting and go nowhere plot. Nothing very creepy, WWF fighting, Boozing, smoking 30 something priest who runs around getting in the way. Too many jump scares. But a bit better than average .

the movie was great I found myself not getting up I seen it again

This is the 1st horror film of 2014 I've seen, and I really quite enjoyed it. It was very creepy and had some great genuine jump scares that gave me chills. I usually don't care much for demonic possession movies, but this one was intriguing because it involves a cop teaming up with a preacher to solve a supernatural murder case. (This would make a great tv series) Eric Bana stars as Ralph Sarchie, a real life New York City street cop who is thrust into the demonic and supernatural world when he tries to solve a case that deals with sacrificed babies and demonic writings. If you love scary movies, you should enjoy DELIVER US FROM EVIL!!!

There have been many negative reviews of this movie overall (not necessarily on this site, which I have not read). However, while I think the "true events" aspect of this story have been parlayed into a mini-business by the New York cop who tells them - as fiction it is different enough for a watching. This partciular genre is almost always filled with cliche's, standard exorcism fare, etc. I found this movie unique enough to call "good" by the star rating provided. I would rate it 3.4 stars if there were increments. If a person likes supernatural religious/demon fare, give it a try. I've added it to my collection of that genre.

So this movie does claim to be in the horror movie genre, but it really isnt. There is a lot of good crazy supernatural stuff that goes on, but it's really cannot classify itself in the horror family. It is based on an interesting true story which they expertly depict in the special features as well as some other behind the scenes which I absolutely love to watch. The content is moving and entertaining, the graphics were excellent and didn't take away from the film like some cgi does. Over all it was a pretty decent movie that I added to my collection of supernatural movies. I would definitely purchase it again.

I read some negative reviews from critics who implied that "Deliver Us from Evil" was little more than an assemblage of exorcism or horror movie clichés, that it was nothing new, or that it was nothing we hadn't seen before. What?!? Did these critics even watch the same movie I saw? They don't know what they're talking about! Sure, this movie made use of some clichés, especially in the climactic exorcism scene. It was unique, however, because it put everything into a context we haven't seen before. The horror imbedded itself into a police story involving extreme and gruesome crimes. This made it feel very real, as much of the story seemed to come right out of today's news headlines. There was obviously a strong supernatural feel to the movie, but the spiritual manifested itself in very physical ways. We didn't see the demons. The focus was more on how the demons revealed themselves through horrendous and violent criminal acts. This resulted in an intensity that has rarely been achieved in other exorcism movies. I was amazed by how relentless the terror was. While there were occasional moments of relief for character development or for setting the background, little time was given to catch your breath. It was a thrilling experience!

Deliver Us From Evil is based on actual events (which of course in Hollywood speak means only half of it might be true... but I digress.. lol), overall isn't bad for a movie about possession. These type of movies I tend to skip more times then not simply because a majority of them just are not that good... after seeing decent reviews and positive comments from people that watched it, I checked it out. If you are into these kind of movies it is worth checking out!

I love horror movies. This movie does exactly what it's meant to do, scare the you-know-what out of you. Some may find the overall storyline somewhat "predictable" or whatever. But I've never been one to psychoanalyze anything. If the movie is entertaining then I love it. If it's not, then I don't see it again. Plain and simple. That said, this film is entertaining and frightening. Scary movie fans will love this. Period.
