| Original Score: A- | Apr 25, 2007

Although each story is compelling, among the most heart-wrenching may be that of the Japanese-Irish couple who welcomed the new parish priest, who often slept over at their house, and who now feel responsible for letting the wolf in their door.

A riveting, emotionally charged and startling big-screen experience. But it does more than just deliver to filmgoers. It may find a Holy Grail of real societal change for a larger constituency.

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

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 15, 2006
