"Deliver Us From Evil, after a taut, thrill-filled start, goes slack, gory and repetitive till finally ending in an over-the-top, extended exorcism that leaves us none the wiser on what the fuss was all about."

"There are some interesting themes at play, but sadly they aren't explored with much inventiveness."

"The only fun bits in the film are when it tricks you that there is something sinister at the end of a dark scene, but sadly it's just a series of false promises all the way."

"The story is good, the horror element is ever-present, and no matter who you are, it WILL make you jump in your seat every now and then. It doesn't matter if you are a fan of modern-day blood and gore, or classic exorcism flicks, this movie has something for everyone."

"Senseless story, uninspired acting and lack of any scares whatsoever make this film another entry in the long list of failed horror movies."

"The Exorcist for the post-millennial age. Cliched but spooky nonetheless."
