What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The story spoofs paranormal activity, demonic possession, ballet, and Fifty Shades of Grey-related imagery through rapid recognizable references.
Dan and Jody confront a nefarious demon while psychic advice and surveillance cameras turn paranormal investigation into broad slapstick.
The central disruption begins when Dan and Jody bring their lost nieces and nephew home and notice bizarre activity.
Numerous surveillance cameras help the couple investigate the demon and provide a recurring observational device.
