Deliver us from unoriginality

Deliver Us from Evil (2014)

Directed by Scott Derrickson this film allegedly inspired by real events stars Eric Bana, Edgar Ramirez and Olivia Munn. A veteran New York police officer with a radar for trouble finds himself investigating what looks like demonic possession.

There is nothing new here and while the film skirts round the ideas of the route of evil it never goes anywhere with them. At some points the characters are really annoying, refusing to talk to each other for no good reason other than to drag out the story. The direction is pretty good but the content is so generic this ends up being just another horror film in a sea of many.


3/5
