Surviving the teenage years isn’t easy, especially when a demon possesses you. It’s 1988, and best friends Abby (Elsie Fisher) and Gretchen (Amiah Miller) are navigating boys, pop culture, and a paranormal force clinging to Gretchen like a pair of neon legwarmers. With assistance from overly confident mall exorcist Christian Lemon (Christopher Lowell), Abby is determined to compel the demon back to the pits of hell—if it doesn’t kill Gretchen first. At turns horrifying and hilarious, “My Best Friend’s Exorcism” pays homage to 1980s pop culture with a totally timeless tale of terror and true friendship. Based on Grady Hendrix’s best-selling novel.
“My Best Friend’s Exorcism” is directed by Damon Thomas (“Killing Eve,” “Penny Dreadful”) and written by Jenna Lamia (“Good Girls,” “Awkward.”) from the book by Grady Hendrix (‘Satanic Panic’). The film stars Elsie Fisher (“Eighth Grade,” “Despicable Me”), Amiah Miller (“The Water Man,” “War for the Planet of the Apes”), Cathy Ang (“And Just Like That…,” “Over the Moon”), Rachel Ogechi Kanu (“Cheer for Your Life”), and Christopher Lowell (“GLOW,” “Promising Young Woman”).
