The Deliverance is a 2024 American supernatural horror film directed by Lee Daniels and written by David Coggeshall, and Elijah Bynum.

Inspired by the Ammons haunting case,[1] it stars Andra Day with Caleb McLaughlin, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Tasha Smith, Omar Epps, Mo'Nique, and Glenn Close.

Unbeknownst to Alberta, her insurance stopped covering treatment; to prevent a change to a lesser care facility, Ebony has been paying for it out of her own pocket.

In addition to having a criminal past that includes serving time in prison, she also has a history of alcohol abuse, and when drinking, becomes physically violent with her children.

Dre starts talking about and to an unseen presence whom he calls Tre, whom he says takes residence alternately in the basement and bedroom closet.

A dead cat appears in the basement, where there is a large hole in the unfinished concrete floor, and on multiple occasions, Dre has gone there only to be found afterward in a catatonic state.

Alberta hears the children screaming and comes in to find a huge hole in the wall with Ebony sitting on the floor with a baseball bat.

The woman in the car ends up confronting Ebony and telling her she is a Pentecostal pastor who tried to prevent an incident in the house 20 years earlier in which a mother slaughtered her family and killed herself.

In January 2022, it was reported that Lee Daniels would direct and Andra Day, Octavia Spencer, Glenn Close, Rob Morgan, Caleb McLaughlin and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor would star in the film.

The website's consensus reads: "Lee Daniels' foray into horror works best when it leans into his melodramatic preoccupations, but it fails to deliver the exorcism goods.

"[12] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 39 out of 100, based on 20 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable" reviews.
