The Bronx on the Silver Screen: Deliver Us From Evil
On July 2nd, Deliver Us From Evil, a horror film directed by Scott Dickerson ( also directed The Exorcism of Emily Rose) and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and based on the book entitled Beware the Night, will hit theatres nationwide. The book was written by Ralph Sarchie, an NYPD officer assigned to a precinct in the South Bronx where he worked the midnight shift. The movie chronicles Sarchie's other job as a demonologist.
A cop and a priest team up on a case of demonic possession in this Screen Gems horror film based on actual cases investigated by retired NYPD police officer-turned-demonologist Ralph Sarchie. When a series of frightening and unfathomable killings leave the citizens of New York City fearing for their lives, troubled cop Sarchie (Eric Bana) fails in his attempts to find a rational explanation for the crimes. Sarchie's eyes are opened to a frightening alternate reality, however, when renegade Jesuit priest (Édgar Ramírez) convinces him that demonic possession may be to blame for the gruesome murders. Together, this unlikely duo wage a valiant supernatural struggle to rid the city of an otherworldly evil. Scott Derrickson directs from a script he wrote with Paul Harris Boardman.Olivia Munn co-stars. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi
The movie was actually filmed in the Bronx and not in a studio in Canada or Hollywood.
I'm interested to see how the Bronx is portrayed and what film locations were chosen!
