Deliver Us Evil is more terrifying than any horror movie, because it's about something that really happened.

Overview
Documentary filmmaker Amy Berg investigates the life of 30-year pedophile Father Oliver O'Grady and exposes the corruption inside the Catholic Church that allowed him to abuse countless children. Victims' stories and a disturbing interview with O'Grady offer a view into the troubled mind of the spiritual leader who moved from parish to parish gaining trust ... all the while betraying so many.

Watching Amy Berg's powerful documentary Deliver Us from Evil is a wrenching experience; her subjects reveal to the camera almost unbearable levels of anguish, and its audience walks away feeling both numbness and rage.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Works best when it concentrates on O'Grady and the ever-rippling effect of his transgressions.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post

No report I have seen takes us so disturbingly inside the mind of the abuser as Amy Berg's Deliver Us From Evil.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Deliver Us From Evil has a few things wrong with it, including an egregious musical score, but without resorting to sucker punches, it takes your breath away while making your skin crawl.
