Extra ordinary

Impressive horror comedy about a driving instructor with powers to deal with ghosts. Set in small-town Ireland it boasts a superb script, good cast playing for laughs but taking the story seriously, decent music, fast pacing and some funny moments. A failed international musician wants to sacrifice a local virgin to the devil. Her father hires the driving instructor to deal with his dead wife who haunts the family home. It's like a routine genre film done too many times already here but finally they got it right. Usually with these movies some parts are good but get runied from casting Deirde O'Kane or Amy Huberman or is badly directed. The two-worded title is deliberate. One of the few recent Irish films I would recommend but don't expect this silly effort to win awards.
