Following a limited theatrical release earlier this month, The Man in My Basement will stream on Hulu and Disney+ this Friday, September 26.
Corey Hawkins and Willem Dafoe star in the psychological thriller, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
In the African American neighborhood of Sag Harbor, New York, Charles Blakey (Hawkins) is out of work, out of luck and on the verge of foreclosure on his ancestral home. A knock on the door from a mysterious businessman, Anniston Bennet (Dafoe), brings a bizarre and lucrative proposition; rent his dusty stand-up basement out for the summer and receive enough money to clear his debts for good.
Once Charles accepts, he finds himself led down a terrifying path that confronts his family’s ghosts and locks the men in a terrifying puzzle, at the heart of it, race, the source of their traumas and the root of all evil.
Anna Diop, Jonathan Ajayi, Gershwyn Eustache Jnr., Pamela Nomvete, and Tamara Lawrance round out the cast.
Nadia Latif makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with Walter Mosley, based on Mosley’s 2004 novel of the same name.
The Man in My Basement is produced by Andscape, the Disney-owned Black content studio. Dave Bishop (Possessor, Clown in a Cornfield) is among the producers on the project.
