In a goofily surprising twist, Loughman and Ahern wind up solving a couple of the characters’ problems at once. Is it a spoiler to say they fail? Well, things don’t end there, as you may guess. The two race across town, collecting the supernatural goop they need to fight off Winter’s spell. Higgins is endearingly awkward as Rose tries not to flirt too hard while Martin’s daughter’s soul is in danger. But these two mild-mannered lonelyhearts are clearly meant for each other.

In the ghost-busting business, we call this a conflict of interest. If things go well, maybe Rose will also exorcise the ghost of Martin’s late wife, who has been pestering him for ages and standing in the way of his meeting new women. But Sarah’s father Martin Martin (Barry Ward) intercepts his sleeping, levitating child, and convinces Rose to get un-retired and help save her. Extra Ordinary is their first feature film. Winter’s Satanic bargains require the usual virgin sacrifice, so he casts a spell meant to summon Sarah Martin (Emma Coleman) from her bedroom to his pentagram-decorated lair. Extra Ordinary directed by Mike Ahern and Enda Loughman - IRISH FILM FESTA. (Viewers who only know Claudia O’Doherty as the Aussie sweetheart on Netflix’s Love will enjoy seeing her as a greedy schemer here.) It’s a project you’d think his wife Claudia would support, but her patience is wearing thin. Christian Winter ( Will Forte, enjoyably hammy) relocated for tax reasons, and is hard at work trying to summon hellish powers that might give him another hit record. Across town, a one-hit-wonder musician from the U.S. Rose, a mostly sweet & lonely small-town driving instructor, must use her supernatural talents to save the daughter of Martin (also mostly sweet & lonely) from a washed-up rock star who is using her in a Satanic pact to re-ignite his fame.
