Lars and Johannes are brothers with very little in common. Johannes is a high-powered lawyer with a beautiful wife and two children; Lars is a truck driver and a drunken brute who beats his girlfriend. Having returned to his hometown in the country, Johannes hopes for a less hectic, more genuine lifestyle. But trouble is underfoot when Lars runs over a woman with his truck. He sees only one way out: put the blame on Alain, a Bosnian refugee with impaired mental functions. But when Lars, the God-fearing husband of the victim, and his friends close in on the Bosnian, Johannes stands up for the man and shelters him. Undeterred, the violent, drunken horde makes their way to Johannes´ secluded house, where the family and Alain fear for their lives. When words no longer suffice to contain the madness, a siege begins, in which unchained anarchy dictates a scenario of terror…
DELIVER US FROM EVIL (FRI OS FRA DET ONDE) is a piercing insight into human nature driven berserk.

Reviews
''The situation is entirely believable, the characters sharply drawn and allowed some level of complexity, and (...) the violence is served up with equal measures of brutality and wit. (...) you'll be on the edge of your seat.''
Norman Wilner, Now

''Do I think Canada's Evokative Films made a wise choice yesterday by picking up rights to Ole Bornedal's DELIVER US FROM EVIL? Oh, yes indeed ... this isn't just a good film, it's a bloody well great one and one that is quite comfortably my favorite picture of the year so far.''
Todd Brown, TwitchFilm

My favorite film of the entire year. A very nearly flawless piece of work, a beautifully constructed and brilliantly acted, shocking realistic descent into violence. I cannot recommend this one highly enough.
Todd Brown, Showcase.ca

''DELIVER US FROM EVIL is one of the best films I've seen at TIFF this year.''
Brian McKechnie and Suzanne Ellis, CityNews.ca

''Awesome, with a sneaky left hook. A confident film of escalating tension. I’d highly recommend it.''
Ain't it cool news

"[DELIVER US FROM EVIL] is a tense, exciting thriller that grabs our attention early and then shows enough style and tension that it’s all but impossible to look away."
Jay Seaver, e-Film Critic

“Sort of a Danish AMORES PERROS or 21 GRAMS, Ole Bornedal’s DELIVER US FROM EVIL tackles some big themes (…) and engages well enough as a snapshot of everyday life in modern Denmark before eventually embracing thriller conventions with a mighty Viking hug.”
Robert J. Lewis, Movie Forum

“DELIVER US FROM EVIL is simply terrifying as it builds towards its violent climax. (...) It’s a theme that has been tackled before but rarely so masterfully... without doubt one of the very best European thrillers in recent years and shows a filmmaker working at the top of his craft.”
