Lee Daniels, director of The Butler, has a brand new movie on Netflix, and it has quickly taken over the streamer's charts since debuting at the start of the weekend. The film is called The Deliverance and it's a horror movie, which isn't a genre that Daniels has spent a ton of time in over the years. Behind his name and an all-star cast, though, The Deliverance had no trouble soaring through Netflix's movie rankings.

Sunday's edition of the Netflix Top 10 Movies list features The Deliverance as the number one film on the entire service. The movie didn't take long to achieve that position, having just debuted on Friday.

Daniels' new film boasts an all-star cast that includes Andra Day, Glenn Close, Caleb McLaughlin, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Omar Epps, and Mo'Nique.
