Extra Ordinary

Ireland isn't exactly a hothouse for horror comedy, but Irish comedian Maeve Higgins tries to correct that by starring as a sweet but lonely driving instructor whose dad was a famed supernatural investigator. She's sworn off using the supernatural "gifts" she was born with since dad died in an exorcism gone wrong. But when a one-hit-wonder musician from America ("SNL" vet Will Forte) tries to summon up demonic powers in order to revive his career, our heroine must unretire in order to protect a virginal girl from hellish sacrifice. First-time filmmakers Mike Ahern & Enda Loughman conjure up an often preposterous mix of Ghostbusters, The Exorcist and Blithe Spirit, but it makes for an infectiously endearing collection of characters and jokes. 94 minutes Unrated.
