Soon, they find themselves fighting against a powerful demon who is determined to keep hold of Casey's soul.

Throughout the movie, there are moments of suspense and terror, as the demon possesses Casey and manipulates those around her. The exorcism itself is a tense sequence that leaves the audience on the edge of their seats.

The movie's cinematography is excellent, with dark, atmospheric lighting used to create a sense of dread. The soundtrack is also effective, with eerie music and sound effects used to build tension.

The performances from the main cast are strong, particularly Shanley Caswell, who convincingly portrays the double role of innocent teenager and possessed victim. Jennifer Stone is also impressive as the determined and knowledgeable exorcist, Megan.

High School Exorcism is a movie that delves into the supernatural, but it also explores themes of friendship, guilt, and redemption. The movie's climactic moments feature a twist that is unexpected but satisfying, as the characters' beliefs and motives are expanded and tested.
