If you’ve been online recently, you’ve likely seen the discussions, memes, and bewildered reactions flooding social media. The Deliverance has become the talk of the internet, with people trying to make sense of what they just witnessed. For those who haven’t yet tuned in, let’s set the scene: Where were you when Glenn Close — bald, with razor-sharp teeth, and possessed by a demon — uttered the unforgettable line, “I can smell your nappy p—y!” in a high-pitched, eerie voice?

This moment, along with several others, has had viewers hooting, hollering, and, in many cases, trying to recover from the shock. As clips and screenshots of the film began to circulate online, The Deliverance rocketed to the top of Netflix’s most-watched list. While some viewers are roasting the film for its over-the-top moments, others are reveling in its sheer outrageousness. Many are simply trying to comprehend the chaotic scenes that unfolded before their eyes.

A True Story Turned Satanic Thriller

Believe it or not, The Deliverance is based on a true story, although you might find that hard to believe given the film’s wild scenes. The movie is a Satanic possession thriller centered on Ebony (played by Andra Day), a single mother of three who moves into a new home in Indiana with her cancer-stricken mother, Alberta (portrayed by Glenn Close). Things take a dark turn when Ebony’s youngest son, Dre (Anthony B. Jenkins), begins talking to an invisible entity he calls Tre, who appears in the basement and closet. Soon, Dre and his siblings start exhibiting disturbing behaviors and psychotic episodes.

The plot thickens when a mysterious woman, played by Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, begins following the family. She eventually reveals herself as a reverend and tells Ebony that a mother had killed her family and herself in their house 20 years earlier, and now the demon that possessed that woman is targeting Ebony’s family. From this point on, the movie escalates into what some viewers have described as an Exorcist parody, with mayhem and horror unfolding in every scene.

Social Media Reacts to The Deliverance

Whether viewers loved or hated the film, one thing is clear: The Deliverance has sparked a tidal wave of reactions online. Much of the conversation centers on the film’s dialogue, particularly the now-infamous line delivered by Glenn Close. Social media has been abuzz with users reacting to this shocking moment, with some unable to get over hearing one of cinema’s most respected actresses deliver such a line.

Another aspect of the film that has drawn significant attention is the dynamic between Ebony and her white mother, Alberta. The film doesn’t shy away from jarringly frank discussions about race, adding another layer to the already intense storyline.

Of course, Glenn Close’s appearance — bald, with a wild wardrobe and those unforgettable razor teeth — has also become a major talking point. As it turns out, the look was entirely a creative choice made by director Lee Daniels. Close’s character in the film bears little resemblance to the real-life Alberta, a decision that has only fueled the online buzz.

The internet did what it does best: it took The Deliverance’s viral moments and ran with them, inserting scenes from the movie into the weekend’s popular memes and even creating “glow-up” side-by-side comparisons featuring Close’s character.

Lee Daniels Embraces the Viral Moment

Director Lee Daniels appears to be taking the online discourse in stride, enjoying the mix of praise and critique. Responding to a viral post that captioned Glenn Close’s infamous line with “Lee Daniels, you will pay for your crimes,” Daniels cheekily replied, “Had to do it.”

Whether you find The Deliverance to be a thrilling ride or a baffling spectacle, there’s no denying that it has captured the attention of viewers everywhere. As the conversation continues to unfold online, it’s clear that this film has made a lasting impression, for better or worse.
