The Deliverance, directed by Lee Daniels, is a supernatural horror inspired by the real-life haunting of Latoya Ammons. The film stars Andra Day as Ebony Jackson, a struggling mother dealing with family dysfunction and supernatural forces in her new Indiana home. Co-stars include Glenn Close and Mo’Nique. The narrative explores themes of redemption, generational trauma, and spirituality.
Critics have highlighted Andra Day’s performance as a strong point, with her portrayal of Ebony’s battle with addiction and motherhood adding emotional depth. The movie combines creepy horror elements, such as possessions and sinister "imaginary friends," with a focus on strained family dynamics. However, reviews are mixed. While some appreciate its darker tone and family-centered storytelling, others find the horror tropes predictable and the execution uneven. The film’s exploration of race, religion, and trauma adds complexity but has also been critiqued as occasionally overwrought
If you enjoy thought-provoking horror with intense performances and a spiritual edge, The Deliverance might be worth watching despite its shortcomings.
