Movie Review: I Watched ‘The Deliverance’ So You Don’t Have To

Director Lee Daniels’ new possession horror The Deliverance is now streaming. The film is inspired by a real-life event that took place at the infamous “Demon House,” a case that gripped the nation in 2011. Zak Bagans even made a documentary about it.

Their Gary, Indiana, home became a living nightmare when unexplained and terrifying occurrences began to plague their lives. From children levitating to speaking in demonic voices, the family endured unimaginable horrors. The situation escalated to such a degree that it drew the attention of authorities, including a police officer, a nurse, and a child protective services caseworker, who witnessed firsthand the inexplicable phenomena.” Despite a talented cast featuring Andra Day, Omar Epps, Caleb McLaughlin, Demi Singleton, and Mo’Nique, the film struggles to deliver a compelling narrative.
