For all its embarrassment of riches, “Deliver” never manages to transcend its bloody, screechy, pulpy origins. That makes the film both a horror tale and a tragedy. Read full review

It's all clichéd, of course, and has been since "The Exorcist" but it's still effective, perhaps more so with anyone who, like our hero cop, comes from the world of scented smoke and altar boys. Read full review

For all its darkness, [it] never really scares up anything new. Read full review

Actually, Ramirez should probably have been cast in the lead, since things flatten out whenever he disappears. Read full review

Deliver Us from Evil takes a very long time to deliver us from dullness. Read full review

This is television-level moviemaking top to bottom, from its preposterous premise, scenery-chomping performances, idiotic sound cues and force-fed jump-scares. Deliver Us From Evil delivers formula, and in a formulaic fashion. Read full review

Deliver Us From Evil artistically and successfully commingles two routinely disparate film genres: police crime drama and paranormal horror.

Scott Derrickson skillfully and realistically captures the dark ambience common to both in powerful ways (via the depiction of aversive elemental and environmental settings; an absence of light; an absence of sound; an ominous musical score; and initially disbelieving characters driven to self-discovering belief through their exposure to overwhelming events). The film's portrayal of police tactics, dialogue and procedures is spot-on and its descriptive narration on uncommon subject matter such as primary evil, diabolical oppression, and possession is likewise noteworthy. Moreover, the explicit detail provided on the six stages embodying every genuine exorcism could have been given by the Jesuit Exorcist, Malachi Martin, himself. I give this film a 5 Star rating and predict that it will soon join both The Exorcist(1973) and The Exorcism of Emily Rose(2006) as cinema's ultimate expression of the preternatural realm at work in the real world.… Expand

I liked Deliver Us From Evil, but is it ever a frustrating film. Its strong positives are only weakened by negatives that cannot be ignored, with an imbalance borne mostly of indecision throughout all aspects of the film.

One of the most boring horror movie ever! Predictable and uninteresting main plot, blunt characters, this movie doesn't have a single creative detail in it. No reason to see it

Aburrida...

Hay muchos huecos en la historia, la película al final de todo no se da a entender. esta es una película de suspenso con acción NO ES UN FILM DE TERROR, cuenta con muchos clichés (vistos en muchas otras películas del mismo tema) no ofrece nada nuevo, es muy pesada y en algunos momentos llega a aburrir, no recomiendo verla en el cine, es de esas películas que deben de verse solo en DVD o TV.

I am trying very hard to say something positive about this movie, but I cannot recommend it because it is more of a car wreck than a mash-up. It is not the fault of the actors, who were quite believable, but the script was awful and the director uninspired.

This movie made me believe that exorcisms and serial killers both should be retired from the screen, but perhaps there was just nothing fresh here. Very disappointing.… Expand
