Again the scares are more of the kind that make the little hairs on the back of your neck stand up. I won't give away the details but it is a well-filmed and quite eerie scene involving the lions' den. One of the best sequences takes place at the Bronx Zoo at night. It strives for a level of realism, and the supernatural events depicted in it stay mostly within the realm of plausibility. There are several jump-out-of-your-seat moments and some disturbing images but compared to most modern horror films it is fairly low key in the blood and guts department. For one thing it's more creepy than gory. Part detective story and part horror show, Deliver Us from Evil isn't a slasher movie or a CGI'd to the hilt demonic possession story. Eventually the stories connect and we learn the fate of the three soldiers from the opening scene. Sarchie (Bana), a cop with anger issues, and his tough-as-nails, knife wielding partner Butler (McHale) get involved with several strange cases that all seem to involve the supernatural. Next the story jumps to New York City in the spring of 2013. The soldiers hear a menacing sound as the screen goes suddenly black. There is some sort of writing on one of the walls.
Three American soldiers stumble across a mysterious cave-like tunnel that leads to an underground temple of sorts. However much of the story is true, Deliver Us from Evil makes for a fairly entertaining crime/horror film. For the movie the story was updated to the current decade, and rather than several different cases, it focuses on one particular case of demonic possession.
It was written by retired NYPD police officer Ralph Sarchie and it is supposedly based on actual cases he worked in a South Bronx precinct back in the 1980s and 90s. Édgar Ramírez and Eric Bana in Deliver Us from Evil.ĭeliver Us from Evil is based on a 2001 book called Beware the Night.
