The Knockturnal recently attended a special screening of Prime Video’s “My Best Friend’s Exorcism,” directed by Damon Thomas, at Nitehawk Cinema in Prospect Park Brooklyn. The film was based on the Quirk Books novel of the same name by Grady Hendrix. It hits streaming services this Friday, September 30th. Chris Landon from Happy Death Day produced it. The film boasts an amazing cast of emerging talent, including Elsie Fisher, Amaya Miller, Rachel Ogechi Kanu, Cathy Ang, Clayton Royal Johnson and Christopher Lowell.
Set in 1988, the film follows high school sophomores Abby and Gretchen, who have been friends since 4th grade. After a weekend getaway at a lake house near the scene of an occult murder years ago, Abby begins to act strange. She turns cruel and starts enacting schemes to turn her friends against one another. Gretchen soon begins to suspect that her best friend is possessed. Spurred by a desire to help her and guilty about having left her behind on a misadventure near the lake house where her odd symptoms seem to have began, Gretchen sets out to find a cure to Abby’s mysterious ailment. She enlists the help of a bodybuilding youth minister who believes he knows the just the thing that’ll restore Abby to spiritual health.
Before the start of the movie, author Grady Hendrix gave a short introduction. He shared that when he first pitched the book, he had no book to sell, just a title. His agent liked it so much that Hendrix wrote a book to match it. Thank you, Amazon, for the invitation. We enjoyed our evening at Night Hawk Cinema, which offers cocktails and tasty concessions and food.
