Teenage Exorcist

Needless to say that I had never heard about this 1991 horror comedy from writers Fred Olen Ray, Brinke Stevens and Ted Newsom, as I sat down to watch the movie in 2022. But I figured that a horror comedy from the early 90s with Michael Berryman on the cast list might actually have something to offer.

However, as it turned out, then director Grant Austin Waldman didn't really deliver a particularly memorable or wholesome movie with "Teenage Exorcist". I mean, I didn't even laugh a single time throughout the entire 86 minutes that the movie ran for. Sure, there were attempts at humor, but it just didn't really have anything to offer.

The cast list for "Teenage Exorcist" was essentially all people I wasn't familiar with, aside from Michael Berryman and Eddie Deezen.

I didn't find "Teenage Exorcist" entertaining or funny, so it was somewhat of a swing and a miss of a horror comedy for me. And while I did manage to sit through the entire movie, then this is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Nor is it a movie that I will return to for a second viewing.

My rating of "Teenage Exorcist" lands on a three out of ten stars.

Fun, atmospheric cheesefest. Does what it sets out to do, entertain, while making you scratch your head. Sexy, funny, chaotic, and a riot to watch. Great way to spend some time, ready yourself with the right state of mind.

This movie tries too hard to be funny. I know it's supposed to be a spoof on the exorcist, but isn't there a Liam Neson movie that already does that? It's just dull, and it's constant effort to try and make jokes just makes it more and more boring and annoying to watch. But if you like the tv show versions of "Police Academy" and "Honey of Blew Up the Kids" you'll probably like this.

I must have kept singing the theme song for days. Honestly, it was a pretty stupid movie, but it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen, but it comes pretty close. And it is scarier that The Exorcist II: The Heretic.

This comedy horror sadly fails on both fronts. What I mean by that is it has very little horror and even fewer laughs.

Telling a very peculiar possession story the film is desperate to be funny but falls flat with each and every attempt.

Starring horror legend Brinke Stevens, briefly Michael Berryman and the poor mans Pee Wee Herman Eddie Deezen (Who I still think looks like a goofy Liev Schreiber the movie bounces from unfunny scene to unfunny scene and struggles to entertain.

The Good:

Nothing

The Bad:

Terrible creature sfx

Brinke Stevens really is a terrible actress

Michael Berryman is nothing but a cameo role
