In My Best Friend’s Exorcism, a demonic possession tests the ties that bind
Teen best friends Abby and Gretchen grapple with an otherworldly demon that takes up residence in Gretchen's body.is how well the first half of the film works as an examination of teenage girl relationships without any of the accompanying supernatural elements. Abby’s first suspicion is a mistaken belief that Gretchen’s bizarre personality shift was caused by a sexual assault in the abandoned shack, so she attributes her friend’s experiences of whispered voices and night paralysis to PTSD.
Not only does this add an interesting metaphorical level to what we learn is a literal possession, but it also hints at why teenage girls in particular might lash out after traumatic life events when they have no other emotional outlets. That initial thoughtfulness makes it all the more unfortunate, then, when Thomas makes a shift to prioritize traditional horror antics.
