Lee Daniels’ new horror film,The Deliverance, has received mixed reviews, but Glenn Close’s performance has been widely praised by fans. Daniels’ film is a supernatural thriller based on the real-life Ammons haunting case. In the film, Andra Day plays Ebony Jackson, a character inspired by Latoya Ammons, while Close plays her religious White mother.
However, in one unexpectedly light moment, Close delivers a line that almost choked up fans with laughter. The line felt majorly out of place in an otherwise spine-chilling film. While some fans found the moment amusing, others were disappointed that Daniels had an eight-time Oscar nominee deliver such a line.
