My Best Friend’s Exorcism is directed by long-time TV director Damon Thomas, who’s making his feature-length directorial debut after two decades of only directing TV films and episodes. It stars Golden Globe nominee Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade), Amiah Miller (War for the Planet of the Apes), Christopher Lowell (How I Met Your Father), Cathy Ang, Rachel Ogechi, and Cynthia Evans.
“The year is 1988. High school sophomores Abby and Gretchen have been best friends since fourth grade,” reads the synopsis. “But after an evening of skinny-dipping goes disastrously wrong, Gretchen begins to act…different. She’s moody. She’s irritable. And bizarre incidents keep happening whenever she’s nearby. Abby’s investigation leads her to some startling discoveries—and by the time their story reaches its terrifying conclusion, the fate of Abby and Gretchen will be determined by a single question: Is their friendship powerful enough to beat the devil?”
