Celebrity Exorcism

A washed-up reality TV star, desperate for a comeback, agrees to participate in a live-streamed exorcism on a controversial internet personality. As the ritual escalates, it becomes clear that the demonic possession is terrifyingly real, and the star must confront not only the entity within but also the disastrous consequences of her pursuit of fame.

Celebrity Exorcism received a mixed-to-positive reception. Critics praised its unique blend of horror and satire, particularly the performances of its lead actors. However, some found the plot occasionally uneven and the humor to be hit-or-miss, leading to a divided audience response.

• A daringly strange horror-comedy that bites off a bit more than it can chew.

• Aubrey Plaza shines in a performance that perfectly balances terror and absurdity.

• The film's satirical edge is its strongest asset, but the horror elements sometimes fall flat.

Google audience: Audience reviews generally highlight the film's originality and the standout performances, especially Aubrey Plaza's. While many appreciated the dark humor and the commentary on celebrity culture, some viewers found the pacing inconsistent and the scares less effective than the satire.

Nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Independent Spirit Awards (Aubrey Plaza).

The film's viral marketing campaign, which included fake social media posts from the characters and staged 'leaked' behind-the-scenes footage, significantly contributed to its initial buzz and mystique.
