Most of the time, in the movies we witness the actions and horror occurring in a violent act as a home invasion could, but what about the aftermath? What happens to the survivors of that traumatic experience? The supernatural horror thriller The Reading (2023) deals with this.
The movie centers on Emma Leeden, recently widowed, who details the loss of her family in her new book “Invasion.” To generate press, Emma agrees to a staged reading by 19-year-old Sky Brown in Emma’s now fortified home. There’s only one problem, Sky’s spiritual connection is real, and evil emerges in a house they can’t get out of.
This is the debut feature film of producer, writer, and director Courtney Glaudé.
The main attraction in the movie is the Oscar winner for her supporting role in Precious (2009) Mo’Nique, who is not very avid in participating in horror movies. Chasity Sereal, Denisha Hardeman, Ian Haywood, Mcauley Teters, Lisa Alavi, Charnele Brown, Cooper Helm, Maudejanei Alero, and Sara Alavi complete the main cast.
The Reading (2023) can already be watched on streaming services BET+ and Amazon Prime Video. Watch its official trailer here.
