Netflix has released the first trailer for The Deliverance, an upcoming horror movie starring Mo’Nique, Glenn Close, Andra Day, and more.
According to Blavity, it is based on a true story.
It follows Ebony Jackson, a struggling single mom battling her inner demons.
She moves her family to a new home, hoping to get a fresh start.
However, strange occurrences happen inside the home, drawing suspicion from Child Protective Services and threatening to tear the family apart.
Ebony soon finds herself battling for her life and her children’s souls.
This Mo’Nique Horror Flick Will Debut In August
The Deliverance will hit select theaters on August 16 and head to Netflix on August 30.
Lee Daniels directed and produced it.
Other producers and executive producers include:
- Tucker Tooley
- Pamela Oas Williams
- Jackson Nguyen
- Todd Crites
- Jackie Shenoo
- Hilary Shor
- Greg Renker
- Gregoire Gensollen
Mo’Nique joined the project in 2022, which was once titled Demon House.
And Octavia Spencer almost got the role before Mo’Nique stepped in.
The film is inspired by the real-life story of Latoya Ammons, who claimed her kids were being possessed and attacked by demons in 2011.
The mom of three told authorities that she saw her children speaking in tongues, levitating, and walking up walls.
Ammons also claimed she once saw her seven-year-old son talking to an invisible boy in a closet.
When she asked what they were discussing, her son told her the invisible friend was describing how it felt to be killed.
Apparently, a “malevolent spirit” also threw the boy out of a bathroom and attacked Ammons’ daughter.
Two psychics visited the home and revealed over 200 demons were haunting the house.
The psychics were backed by official reports from a document of paranormal activity in the house–the psychologists stated on record that they saw Ammons’ young daughter walk “up the wall backward” and talk in “different voices.”
Even the local police chief admitted he was a believer after visiting the house and interviewing Ammons.
Creepy stuff.
Will you watch The Deliverance when it comes out?
