My Best Friend's Exorcism

About This Movie

Set in the late '80s, "My Best Friend's Exorcism" blends comedy and horror in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh. The film captures the essence of that decade with its vibrant colors and killer soundtrack, pulling you into the world of Abby and Gretchen’s friendship. The pacing is pretty steady, allowing for moments of levity to break through the darker themes of possession and the struggles of adolescence. The practical effects add a nice touch, feeling tactile and grounded rather than overly digital. The performances—especially from the leads—bring a palpable chemistry that makes the outrageous premise somehow relatable. It's an interesting juxtaposition of teenage angst and supernatural horror, and it has a distinct voice that sets it apart from typical possession flicks.
