My Best Friend's Exorcism (2022)
I really wanted to like this

I was hoping that the first film adaptation of a Grady Hendrix work would be awesome, in spite of the bad reviews. But this veers so wildly from the source material that it might as well have changed the title and inserted an "inspired by" credit.
The whole point of the novel was that it was Abby and Gretchen together against the world until all of this started. Giving them more outside connections dilutes that, and the filmmakers did nothing to help reestablish that connection while also adding new characters.
I'm disappointed. I hope that the failure of this won't prevent other Hendrix novels from being adapted; hopefully, by better hands.
