Deliver Us From Evil is a horror film about Bronx policeman Ralph Sarchie (Eric Bana) who finds himself investigating a demonic possession with the help of sexy former heroin addict priest Mendoza ( dgar Ram rez). As far as exorcism flicks go it s depressingly boilerplate stuff the edgiest aspect is that it claims to be based on the true stories of the real Ralph Sarchie a former cop who engaged in some demonology on the side then wrote a book about it.
Director Scott Derrickson who s slated to helm a Doctor Strange movie for Marvel has made better horror films before (like 2012 s Sinister) he s even made better based on a true story exorcism dramas before (2005 s The Exorcism of Emily Rose). But there s one thing Deliver Us From Evil which opens in theaters today has going for it Joel McHale who plays Ralph s wiseass partner Butler aka the only character in the movie who seems to realize he s in a very silly story being told very seriously. Here s why he s great
