Deliver Us from Evil (2006)

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Look I'm really not into Documentaries but when I decide to see some they must be good and attractive that catches my attention. So about this film, this documentary is about a priest Oliver O'Grady who is a pedophile and pervert, he had a reoccurring part in this documentary shows his views that what kind of a pervert he is which is really shocking also there are interview of other victims of child molestation and their families telling how they were betrayed by the person and the organization which they trusted the most. The way I see it people like O'Grady can be found in every religion disguise themselves in sheep's clothing but are actually wolves, but the worst part are the organizations that letting these wolves in our society and hurting our children if the Catholic church had taken a suitable action there could be a very different story.So about the recommendation, viewers may find it quite disturbing cause its on a very dark subject that people don't like to talk about, so yeah you can give it a try if you are willing to and if you like documentaries.

This is mighty strong documentary on the abuse of children by the Catholic Church and its cover-up. I read elsewhere that the term "abuse" is a euphemism for much more sordid acts; namely the physical rape of an innocent child.This film examines the history of one pedophile priest in the United States and how his acts were simply covered-up by the Catholic hierarchy. He performed innumerable acts on both male and female children. Even though some parents reported this to the Catholic ministry, it was only when police officials became involved that he was arrested. There are many interviews with both the victims and those in the Church hierarchy who covered it up, as well as the pedophile himself.So are we provided with many different angles. The documentary never becomes accusatory in itself – but it allows us to view the heart-wrenching lives of the victims and their families. They try to extract an apology from the Vatican, but this is all in vain.It even brings us to view the life of this eerie pedophile, not presented as evil incarnate; but as a human being with a severe psychological problem. At times you can feel his ingratiating performance even as he acknowledges the severity of what he has done. This is a rare film that deals with both oppressor and oppressed.The film is about several things: the nature of the evil that exists in this pedophile, the corruption of the Catholic Church, the Church's refusal to deal with sexual issues and admit its crimes against humanity, but most of all it is about the torment of the victims who are left alone with their families to struggle on with their lives. This documentary contains some very emotional scenes and is very well made.

You judge a tree by its fruit. This documentary succeeds in letting viewers behold this dark little secret that the Catholic Church hopes you will never find out about: The rotting fruit of their sin-harvest that comes from unspeakably heinous crimes against children that are tolerated by them as being business-as-usual! Love is the desire to do good to others but that is the antithesis of all that the Catholic Church represents as it was portrayed in this documentary and as revealed by fearless journalists all over the world who have courageously accepted the bold challenge to find the truth no matter where it takes them and then tell it like it is.

As a former Catholic who has since become a staunch atheist, I watched Amy Berg's chilling documentary, 'Deliver Us From Evil' with simmering anger and rage--not just at the hideous corruption of a cynical Church hierarchy but at the smugness and utter lack of remorse exhibited by the former "Father" Oliver O'Grady, a true and very dangerous psychopath. And to think that his heinous crimes have been repeated by hundreds of his depraved brethren of the cloth over many decades--and similarly covered up with the usual catastrophic results. If 'Deliver Us From Evil' doesn't put you off from Catholicism and organized religion in general, nothing will.
