Glenn Close and Andra Day are a mother and daughter caring for her three children and enduring what seems to be family demonic possession. This situation is rarely treated with respect, but Lee Daniel’s The Deliverance does. It is based on the true story of the experiences of Latoya Ammons and her family, well-documented by medical and government officials. Something’s not right in the home; the children are out of control, emotionally and physically and display horrific behaviours. Day’s Ebony struggles to keep her children safe, at her peril, as Close’ reborn Christian Alberta turns to her local church for help. What She Said’ Anne Brodie Spoke with Close and Day.
