What Happen To Gretchen And Abby?
Gretchen and Abby feel to stick to themselves through thick and thin. still, the day at the creepy manor house put their fellowship through an ultimate test that disassociated the trust they had in each other. Gretchen, after being held, sounded to treat Abby like crap. She isolated Abby at first and also moved on to sabotaging her other musketeers. Gretchen also lowered Abby by using her precariousness. She immersed her in the water, although it was a game, and revealed her precious secret of harboring a huge crush on Brother Morgan. Abby set up out about her journal, The Huntsman-Keeper, a huge thing in the 80s and 90s before slam books took over. The conceptions reach and ultimate then when ‘ surprise surprise ’ the demon made her write help and also hell and etches of her musketeers supposedly dead. This made Abby figure out that Gretchen was held. The only other person to notice the possession was Chrisitan Lemon, from the Lemon Sisters, a religious band that loves gymnasiums and protein.
‘ My Best Friend’s Exorcism ’ Ending Explained What Had held Gretchen?
Andras is the 63rd reality in the Lesser Key of Solomon. This demon is the Grand Marquis of Hell, and it commands 30 legions of demons. easily, a veritably important reality held Gretchen and was chased back to hell with an inadequately performed exorcism and some cringe- good made- up chants of what they believed in. The demon was also burnt to a crisp by Abby, using incense and some alcohol to make up honey. It was all veritably grabby and flashy that took away an- important demon from poor Gretchen. The demon reminded me of the Horcrux of Voldemort in the King’s Cross station after Harry Potter failed for a nanosecond there. It also kind of felt like the demon would roar “ My Precious ” when it jumped on Gretchen, however. I got Gollum vibes throughout that scene. They should’ve called the cast of “ Lord of the Rings ” and “ Harry Potter ” to deal with the demon rather than leaving Abby to do the exorcism when she easily didn't know what she was doing. Ah, the same old commonplace plot of the sprat having to do commodity they've no way done ahead, only to end up outstripping at it, and all becomes well.
Final Conclusion
The film, although set in the 1980s, has a more ultramodern sense to it. Conceptions don't make it better. The characters were huge- dimensional. The film can be perceived more as a parody of the other horror flicks of the same kidney due to the inflated character gimmicks portrayed throughout its runtime. still, if it’s not a parody, well, the plot doesn’t have importance to give. It lacks sense and also showcases amateur behavior while dealing with a so-called all-important demon. “ My Best Friend’s Exorcism ” does endorse body positivity by also following the trends from the 1980s, but it screams further 2020s than the 1980s. The film just doesn't click with the time stamp. I guess “ Foreigner effects ” had a monstrously adverse effect on the entire population, so much so that a lot of the film directors are obsessing over the tried and tested shibboleths of 1980s horror. I mean, the film is good for a one-time watch, but it kinda feels like a rip-off of the cult classics “ The Exorcist ” and “ The Exorcism of Emily Rose. ” If notoriety really wants to watch a movie about exorcisms, I’d recommend rewatching the cult classics or the pictures. It saves time and is amusing too.
“ My Best Friend’s Exorcism ” is a 2022 Drama Comedy film directed by Damon Thomas.
