Parenthood Horror Lives On In “DELIVERY”

From Polanski’s ROSEMARY’S BABY, to Cronenberg’s THE BROOD, to Lars von Trier’s ANTICHRIST, parenthood and horror cinema have a long and storied history. There is a vulnerability and ceaseless fear inherent in  being a mom or a dad, and when a film effectively plays on those sensitivities, the results transcend genre and head into personal and deeply human territory. The latest arrival in the progen subgenre is Brian Netto’s DELIVERY, currently in post-production. We have a first look at the film with a just-released still and poster.

Synopsis (courtesy Type AB):
DELIVERY tells the story of Kyle and Rachel Massy, a young couple who agree to document their first pregnancy for a family-oriented reality show. The production spirals out-of-control after the cameras capture a series of unexplained events, leading Rachel to believe that a malevolent spirit has possessed their unborn child.

From director Brian Netto and producer Adam Schindler DELIVERY is told through the shows abandoned and un-aired reality footage, as well as testimonials from friends, family and crew members, providing a first hand account of the Massy’s tragic story.

DELIVERY stars Laurel Vail, Danny Barclay, Elizabath Sandy, and Peter McGlynn. No release date has been announced.
