	"Deliver Us from Evil" Real Monsters Haunt 'Evil' By James Verniere Framingham TAB October 13, 2006 http://www2.townonline.com/framingham/artsLifestyle/view.bg?articleid=593738 The most horrific film of the fall season is not going to be "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning," "The Grudge 2" or "Saw 3." The most horrifying film of the season is easily Amy Berg's stunning documentary "Deliver Us from Evil," a film in which the monsters are all too real. If you're not already mad as hell about the pedophile priest scandal, you are about to be. A devastating portrait of the victims, the perpetrators and their unindicted enablers, including an up-close-and-personal interview with a madman still on the loose in Ireland, "Deliver Us from Evil" is a skin-crawling experience. Meet Father Ollie O'Grady, a man who tells us he likes "helping people." Father Ollie is also a pedophile who can't get his head around the idea that what he did for 30 years to children is a terrible crime. Neither, apparently could the church hierarchy, which bounced O'Grady from parish to parish in Northern California in the 1970s without warnings. The film comprises interviews with O'Grady's male and female victims as well as grief-stricken parents, two of whom allowed O'Grady into their home, where he raped their daughter. How the police and various district attorneys did not step up is the great unspoken aspect of this awful story. Father Ollie's heroic counterpart is Father Tom Doyle, a lawyer and historian who has won no friends at the Vatican with his anti-pedophile crusade. Doyle describes the church's action as a web of "deception, denial, perjury and deceit." To hear Father O'Grady discuss his plans for a reunion at which he hopes to apologize to his assembled victims is to see just how delusional a truly evil person can be. A final shot of Father O'Grady peering at children in a playground will leave you feeling utterly betrayed. "Deliver Us from Evil," indeed. "Deliver Us from Evil" contains graphic descriptions of sexual activity.
