Deliver Us From Evil - 25/08/2014
"Based on true events from Ralph Sarchie's real life cases"
Eric Bana plays Ralph Sarchie, a New York Detective who begins investigating a series of connected murders, psychiatric patients and mysterious happenings with the help of a unconventional priest. The further they delve into the investigation, the more they discover a supernatural history to the victims.
What could be described more of a crime thriller with supernatural touches rather than a horror, Deliver Us From Evil is entertaining in parts but I think the loud and climatic ending could have been different. I was enjoying the approach the film was taking with it being one side (the cop) focusing on the evil that men do and the priest pushing the possession and supernatural side of evil.
Eric Bana is great as a grumpy cop with a history, although when he did mention he sometime gets angry I could only think of his previous role as a green hulking character. His partner, is there for comedic effect and plays it well.
Gruesome in place, but lacking the suspenseful horror for me, I enjoyed the film but was again left with a feeling that the horror genre needs a real upheaval.
Although, the toys always freak me out. Not looking forward to the Porcelain Doll, Annabelle blessing our screens soon!
