Deliver Us From Evil - in which the true story of a supernatural cop gets a Hollywood upgrade, and he ends up loving it. Eric Bana plays this NY borough cop who gets great hunches, and has an adrenaline-junkie partner who is always egging him on to pick up the wildest calls that come through. The plot follows the journey of Sgnt Sarchi after he picks up a crazy woman from the zoo, and some creepy guy ghosts them, and disappears into the tiger compound. Sarchi is an excellent detective, and he follows his gut, and this leads him to another call, domestic dispute, that ends up being related to the zoo nonsense. Actually, I think the domestic call happened first, but anyways, some creepy supernatural stuff starts happening. Like, the crazy lady keeps singing The Doors, and he keeps hearing Doors music and children laughing. Anyways, he hooks up with this Jesuit Priest with amazing hair, he's trying to look after the crazy lady, as she is a member of his congregation. Sarchi is getting meaner to his family, as the evil is invading his home, and he also has a dark secret burdening his soul, which is making him more vulnerable to the creeping evil. So, these three guys from the prologue are all being effected by this demon they encountered in Iraq, and it is trying to take over their lives. One guy goes crazy, another commits suicide, and the third is the one they spend the last act chasing. Sarchi helps the Priest do an exorcism on the last guy, who is full-on possessed, while they have him in police custody. The real life Sarchi was on set for a lot of filming, and he liked the movie. I'm glad there are guys like him in the world, taking care of stuff not everyone can deal with. This movie is so violent and well paced and good.
This is my 100th post! I'm adding a few extra pics to celebrate.
