![]() ![]() ![]() I lived in New York most of my life and don’t remember hearing about any of this, but maybe that’s because day-to-day life often doesn’t play out like a Jerry Bruckheimer movie, which is what Deliver Us from Evil is. I don’t know if anything that happened to Sarchie was truly supernatural or even real, although it seems to me that the level of mayhem displayed in the film version of his life story would have certainly attracted a lot of attention from not just the cops, but the New York media. According to the press hype, Deliver Us from Evilis based on the real-life exploits of retired New York City police officer Ralph Sarchie, who claims that his confrontations with demonic evil and possession while on duty in the city’s gritty South Bronx not only led him to reaffirm his belief in God but to take up what he calls (in the book that inspired this movie) the Work: assisting operatives from the Catholic Church with actual exorcisms in the many cases that Sarchie came across. ![]()
