Director Scott Derrickson is definitely making his mark on movie fans with his new release "Deliver Us From Evil." It's much more complicated than your possession/exorcism movie. As he describes it, "Evil is out on the streets."

An exclusive interview with Moviepilot shows the director's vision, budget constraints (it is a Blumhouse production) and how this movie is not just another possession film:

MP: Did you think you would do another exorcism film?

SD: "I really didn't. I really didn't. I thought that I was absolutely done. That's such a smart initial question because I'm surprised people didn't ask that. No, I didn't think that I would do another exorcism movie and I didn't think I would want to do another exorcism movie. And I didn't particularly think we needed another exorcism movie. Then, after I had done Sinister and I talked to Screen Gems about this movie and I went back and read it and talked to Jerry about it, I did really start to have a feeling that it was twofold. Number one, it was what had happened to horror since Emily Rose and since 2005, that opened the door for possession films but primarily Paranormal Activity kind of possession films. Movies got so small and Sinister is a $3 million movie. So I liked the idea of being able to make a horror film on a bigger canvas. It's not an expensive movie. Our movie was only $18 million below the line, but to shoot The Bronx, have evil in the streets. So what I started to realize was that I wasn't making a possession movie. There's an exorcism in it but it's not really a possession movie because you don't follow "here's the girl and she gets possessed and she starts doing these freaky things." Instead, the guy who gets possessed is this cryptic ex-soldier that they're chasing through the city. He's kind of tactical and then when you meet him there's a very explosive exorcism, but it's with policemen in an interrogation room. So I just felt like that's all an original enough twist that it merits it. I think it merited my interest."

Derrickson will move on to bigger things, like the much publicized Dr. Strange movie for Marvel. But there is also another project he is giddy about:

SD: "Yeah, I do have some things and I also have my horror TV show, The Breathing Method based on the Stephen King story that I'm doing with Jason. That's something I really hope gets off the ground because I think that will be an amazing show."
