With her nuptials on the line and the Prince of Darkness lurking close by, Courtney does her best to protect her childhood home on the eve of the wedding. But when her ne’er-do-well sister accidentally invites Satan inside (known more casually as Dave), he possesses Courtney – throwing a demonic wrench into her happily-ever-after plans. Courtney’s ragtag team of reluctant heroes including her sister, perfectionist best friend, and skeptical future sister-in-law must find a way to exorcise Dave, reclaim Courtney’s soul, and get her down the aisle with as little bloodshed as possible.
At first seeming like a parody of The Exorcist, including having the titular character Courtney (Lauren Buglioli) tied up in a bed and calling out the situation as a cliche, Courtney Gets...

Courtney Gets Possessed is a horror comedy that cleverly satirizes horror film tropes and rom-com clichés while delivering laughs and scares. The film follows bride-to-be Courtney as she confronts her ex, who turns out to be the Devil himself, leading to a demonic possession and chaos. Courtney Gets Possessed offers a unique blend of buddy comedy, demonic horror, and relationship drama that will leave audiences entertained and questioning the line between love and possession.
We have an exclusive clip from the horror comedy film Courtney Gets Possessed, which is probably the most literal title in horror films since John Dies at the End and Drag Me to Hell. The new film is, like the great aforementioned titles, a horror comedy that takes a sarcastic look at all the tropes we've come to take for granted. Part buddy comedy, part demonic possession horror, part relationship drama, Courtney Gets Possessed stands in...
