Extra Ordinary (film)

The film stars Maeve Higgins, Barry Ward, Will Forte, Claudia O'Doherty, Jamie Beamish, Terri Chandler, Risteárd Cooper and Emma Coleman.

After an attempt results in her father's death, Rose eschews her talents, ignoring the minor hauntings and requests for help which she continues to receive in adulthood.

Christian's virgin-finding tool leads him to the same store; that night he uses a spell that renders Sarah floating in a deep sleep.

Witnessing Martin interact with Bonnie's spirit, Rose realizes that he can communicate with ghosts and that together they can perform exorcisms and collect ectoplasm needed to break the spell on Sarah.

With little time before the blood moon, they are forced to confront Bonnie's ghost, with the support of Rose's heavily pregnant sister Sailor and her date Brian.

Astaroth decides to take Rose, an actual virgin, in Sarah's stead; as she is slowly dragged toward the pit, she convinces Martin to have sex with her.

As they do, Sailor goes into labour, Brian helps her deliver her baby, and Sarah knocks Christian into the pit, which closes (taking Astaroth) as Rose and Martin climax.

The site's consensus reads, "A horror/rom-com hybrid that somehow manages to blend its ingredients without losing their flavor, Extra Ordinary more than lives up to its title.

[9] Chris Wasser of The Irish Independent gave the film 3 out of 5 and said it was "just as bonkers on screen as it is on paper" but it "eventually stretches itself beyond breaking point, bearing all the hallmarks of a surreal comedy sketch that got out of hand.
