The premise

The year is 1988. Abby and Gretchen have been best friends since fourth grade. After an evening of skinny-dipping goes disastrously wrong, Gretchen begins to act…different, which leads Abby to suspect her best friend may be possessed by a demon. With help from some unlikely allies, Abby embarks on a quest to save Gretchen. But is their friendship powerful enough to beat the devil?

Horror Vault's take

Set against a neon-soaked 1988 backdrop, this horror-comedy follows Abby, a devoted teenager who grows increasingly convinced that something sinister has taken hold of her lifelong best friend Gretchen after a night gone terribly wrong. What begins as unsettling behavioral changes escalates into a full-blown battle for Gretchen's soul — and for the friendship that defines them both. Equal parts scary and sincere, the film leans into its decade-specific aesthetic while grounding its supernatural stakes in genuine emotional warmth. It's a love letter to female friendship wrapped in demonic dread.
