431. Teenage Exorcist (1991)

November 19, 2014

Somewhere between 'The Exorcist' and 'Repossessed' lies 'Teenage Exorcist'. Based on a story by Fred Olen Ray, and with a script written by scream queen and star of the film, Brinke Stevens, 'Teenage Exorcist' was actually a fairly decent and funny Exorcist rip-off. Stevens starred as a college grad who just purchased her first home (from Michael Berryman) and quickly learned that the house was home to more than just herself. After she played with a Ouija board and contacted an evil spirit, she became possessed and it was up to her sister and brother-in-law, her stalker-ish boyfriend, and a priest to try to save her soul. Then Eddie Deezen ('Surf II') showed up with pizza and it became some kind of a bizarre version of an Ernest movie. The change was abrupt, but it was still entertaining. The demon looked pretty cool (and cheap), and I had absolutely no clue what it was saying. I'd recommend this movie to fans of low budget, early 90's horror-comedies.
