2. Information
Synopsis: In New York, Police Officer Ralph Sarchie and his partner Butler investigate a series of bizarre
crimes in Bronx: the death of a baby in an alley: the beating of the wife of the former soldier Jimmy by him;
and the case of a mother, Jane Crenna, who has thrown her two year old son in the enclosure of the lions in
the zoo. While investigating the last case with Butler, Sarchie sees a weird man painting the wall of the
lion's enclosure but he flees. Soon the man is identified, Mick Santino, and Sarchie learns that Santino and
Jimmy belonged to the same platoon in Iraq. The investigation affects the private life of Sarchie and his
relationship with his wife Jennifer "Jen" and his daughter Christina. Sarchie, who is a Catholic that lost his
faith, is contacted by the unconventional Father Mendoza that explains to him that he is dealing with
demonic forces and Santini and Jane are possessed by demons. The sceptic Sarchie does not believe in the
father in the beginning, but when his family is jeopardized by Santino, he teams-up with the priest to
exorcise Santino and save his beloved family. – IMDB

3. Voice Overs & On Screen Texts
Within the trailer ‘Deliver us form evil’, they use many on screen text cards
which explain certain elements of the movie. They use short and snappy
phrases which highly interests the audience and makes them wonder what is
going to happen. They also use text cards to state other films that the directors
have worked on as they are high budget films which means that this film
should also be extremely good. It also includes institutional information at the
end of the trailer again being a common convention.
