Bad Exorcists is a horror-comedy film from 2015 that follows two inept exorcists, Father Lucas (Sean Roney) and Father Michael (Alex Knapp), as they attempt to save a young woman named Sarah (Julian Master) from her demonic possession. The film starts with Father Lucas and Father Michael, who are both struggling to keep their failing exorcism business afloat, as they are contacted by a desperate family who believes that their daughter Sarah is possessed by a demon. The exorcists agree to take on the case, hoping that it will bring some much-needed business to their door.

Upon arriving at the family's home, Father Lucas and Father Michael are greeted by a strange and eerie atmosphere. They learn that Sarah's possession is more complex than they anticipated, and they soon realize that they are in over their heads. However, the duo refuses to give up on their mission, even as they face numerous obstacles, including a lack of practical knowledge about exorcism techniques, and their own romantic relationships with each other.

As the exorcism continues, the demons begin to reveal themselves more and more, and the stakes become higher. Sarah's condition worsens, and Father Lucas and Father Michael have to use all their skills, as well as some unconventional methods, to save her from the clutches of the demons.

Throughout the film, there are many elements of humor, with the two exorcists providing many moments of comedic relief with their bickering and incompetence. There are also several well-placed jump scares, making the movie an effective horror-comedy hybrid, typical for the genre.

One of the most delightful aspects of Bad Exorcists is the dynamic between the two main characters. Knapp and Roney's performances as Father Michael and Father Lucas, respectively, are top-notch and embody the bumbling personalities that are central to their roles. The two actors have fantastic chemistry with each other and their comedic timing is spot-on as they deliver memorable one-liners throughout the film.

Another standout performance belongs to Julian Master who portrays Sarah, the girl who is possessed by demons. Her depiction of her various states of possession is genuinely terrifying and unsettling, and her ability to shift between a normal personality and that of a demon is impressive in its execution.

The plot of Bad Exorcists is relatively straightforward and does not deviate significantly from other horror-comedies genre staples. However, it is an entertaining and engaging movie that offers moments of humor and horror- two traits globally appreciated by many fans of the horror-comedy genre who will most likely appreciate the movie.

Overall, Bad Exorcists is an enjoyable and well-executed horror-comedy film that offers its audience a good laugh and some decent scares. It's definitely one for fans of the genre, and it is excellent for a watch along with friends for the light-hearted jump scares and banter of the two characters.
