New York police officer Ralph Sarchie joins forces with an unconventional priest, to battle the evil which is plaguing their city.
Imagine the gritty on location feel reminiscent of Seven and Training Day mixed with the Exorcist 3 and you pretty much have Deliver Us from Evil. Packed with jump scares and given that added creepiness factor due to the based on a actual events, Scott Derrickson's offering (who brought us Sinister) is wonderfully filmed.
The supporting cast are excellent and lead Eric Bana's Sarchie is riveting as the flawed everyday man. Both Édgar Ramírez and Sean Harris give nonchalant stellar performances. Yes the final act is a little overblown but the believable tension filled first three quarters offers plenty of genuine shocks.
Recommend for the atmosphere and on location ambiance that Derrickson's and crew creates which spans from the Middle East to New York.
