‘My Best Friend’s Exorcism’ Review: A Frightfully Unfunny Teen Horror Comedy for the Masses

variety.com:

Courtney Howard We may joke that teen girls are possessed, but the creators behind “My Best Friend’s Exorcism” take that concept to heart.

Based on the book by Grady Hendrix, director Damon Thomas’ adaptation is centered on a pair of inseparable best friends dealing with a shattering blow when one of them is overtaken by a satanic spirit.

Though this ’80s-set horror-comedy takes an old-school approach to capturing the horrific happenings, the stunts are lackluster and the comedic hijinks are a tiresome bore.

With very little interest conjured from the filmmakers to properly develop their characters, there’s little incentive to stay interested.
