‘The Deliverance’ Trailer – Netflix Spent Big Money on This Horror Movie from Director Lee Daniels
Netflix paid a reported $65 million for the rights to The Deliverance in a hot bidding war, you may recall, and the streamer has unveiled the film’s official trailer this morning.
Lee Daniels (Precious, The Butler) heads into the world of horror with the upcoming Netflix Original movie, which is rated “R” for “Violent content, language & sexual references.”
The film arrives in select theaters August 16 and on Netflix August 30.
Watch the official trailer for The Deliverance below.
Omar Epps, Demi Singleton, Miss Lawrence and Anthony B. Jenkins will star in The Deliverance, which is being described as an “exorcism thriller.” Andra Day, Glenn Close, Mo’Nique, Aunjanue Ellis, Caleb McLaughlin and Tasha Smith also star.
In the film, “Ebony Jackson, a struggling single mother fighting her personal demons, moves her family into a new home for a fresh start. But when strange occurrences inside the home raise the suspicions of Child Protective Services and threaten to tear the family apart, Ebony soon finds herself locked in a battle for her life and the souls of her children.”
Netflix’s The Deliverance is based on a true story, and in addition to directing Lee Daniels also wrote the script with David Coggeshall, Elijah Bynum and Thomas Westfall.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
