Don't Deliver Us from Evil (French: Mais ne nous délivrez pas du mal) is a 1971 French horror drama film directed by Joël Séria, in his directorial debut, and starring Jeanne Goupil, Catherine Wagener, and Bernard Dhéran.[3] It follows two Catholic schoolgirls in France who are drawn toward increasingly evil deeds. It is loosely based on the Parker–Hulme murder case of 1954.

The film was controversial upon release due to its depiction of adolescent crime and sexuality,[4] receiving an X rating in the United Kingdom and being banned in its native France.
