Reviews

Los Angeles Times - Gary Goldstein
Buckle up for the ride that is Deliver Us From Evil, a highly intense and effective mash-up of police procedural and horror show.
63
Boston Globe - Peter Keough
Though Derrickson offers some new twists on old tricks, and evokes a mood of menace with rainy streets, gloomy interiors, and the transformation of comforting everyday objects into something horrible, the story soon devolves into variations of many movies we have seen before.
50
Chicago Tribune - Michael Phillips
Half the time, Deliver Us From Evil is genuinely interested in Sarchie's all-too-human demons, and half the time we're marking time until the big exorcism and an ending that keeps the door open for a sequel, should the market demand it.
50
The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
While the supernatural side of the film suffers a flaw or two — continued references to The Doors are superfluous and sometimes chuckle-inducing — its central conflict works.
42
The A.V. Club - A.A. Dowd
The action scenes are clumsily filmed and choppily edited.
