As the premise suggests, there is a lot of sadness mixed in with the humor, but there are a lot of laughs coming from the father’s attempts to teach his daughter life lessons along the way.

The blend of horror and comedy is often a tricky combination to pull off effectively. However, one underrated entry in the genre is My Best Friend’s Exorcism. Based on the novel of the same name, the wacky supernatural story is set in the 1980s and follows two high school girls whose friendship is put to the test when one of them is possessed by a demon. The movie has a lot of fun with the tropes of the genre as well as the 80s setting. But the real heart of the movie is the story of friendship which is done well with some talented young actors.
