Extra Ordinary is available for viewing on the Kino Now VOD platform. The final farcical showdown with the dark lord and the mix-up involving the virgins is also very funny. The laughs far outweigh the scares and some of the scenes, including when Christian tries taking driving lessons from Rose as a way of figuring out her motives and deterring her from her undertaking, are laugh-out-loud funny.
To say that things get wackier after that is no exaggeration. It's Martin whom the various ghosts must inhabit so that he can vomit their ectoplasm into a jar.

Along the way, Rose and Martin encounter an amusing series of folks and their haunted lives. So begins the mission to collect the ectoplasm from seven ghosts. In order to break the spell and save Sarah (and get with Martin), Rose must face her demons, so to speak. This is especially the case when, under a spell cast by Christian, an unconscious Sarah levitates above her bed in nightgown a la Regan MacNeil. However, Martin's a handsome guy and Rose is a single woman, so she's willing to make an exception. Rose meets with Martin, thinking he needs driving lessons, but when he reveals the truth, she cuts it short.
When his ruthless wife Claudia (Claudia O'Doherty) kills the virgin he planned to sacrifice, he must use his virgin divination rod to find another. That includes abducting virgins to sacrifice to the dark lord so he can finish writing and recording his comeback album. Not far away, in the same Irish town, American one-hit-wonder Christian Winter (an over-the-top Will Forte) is a Satanist who will do anything to get the creative juices flowing. She leaves him messages in the steam on the bathroom mirror and in his toast. One such call comes from Martin Martin (Barry Ward) at the insistence of his daughter Sarah (Emma Coleman) because he is being brutalized by the ghost of his wife Bonnie.
Nevertheless, she still gets countless voicemail messages from people desperately seeking her expertise in communing with ghosts. Rose inherited Vincent's "talent" but, feeling guilty for her father's death (it must be seen to be appreciated), she's left it all behind in favor of becoming a driving instructor. The late paranormal specialist Vincent (Risteard Cooper) not only left behind two daughters - Rose (the wonderful Maeve Higgins) and Sailor (Terri Chandler) - but also a video series legacy in which he explored the unknown. While the comedy itself is completely irreverent (some of the jokes flirt with tastelessness), the references (including a few to The Exorcist and The Conjuring) are thoroughly reverent. The kooky Extra Ordinary (Cranked Up/Kino Lorber), the full-length feature debut by co-directors/writer Mike Ahern and Enda Loughman, said to be inspired by the Coen brothers' comedic work, is a perfect example.
