My Best Friend's Exorcism

"Fisher, so wonderful in Eighth Grade, is stuck trying her best in a film that wastes her efforts."

"As horror-comedy goes, what makes My Best Friend’s Exorcism more than just cheesy pastiche is how ingeniously the script deploys its 80s references."

"The wildly inconsistent tones... keep threatening to derail the movie, though the cast and the story ultimately save the picture."

"A slumber party riff on Jennifer’s Body that chews on some of the same material without any of that cult classic’s bite..."

"The film falls apart without (Fisher and Miller), and these promising young performers are absolutely up to the task."

"Frankly, an entire movie based around (Lowell's) character, who actually has a character to speak of, sounds like a good time..."

"The straightforward possession story struggles to overcome its low stakes and rushed narrative."

"The stunts are lacklustre and the comedic hijinks are a tiresome bore."

"It’s a devilishly smart and self-aware take on the current trend for Eighties horror homage..."

"My Best Friend’s Exorcism is fun enough at times, but it never really overcomes its referential preoccupations."
