I saw REPOSSESSED on Comedy Central one night and while many may disagree with me on this one, I think that it is Linda Blair's best work. Both Linda Blair and Leslie Nielson are at their comedic best. The premise could have used a little work, but the movie seems to serve one purpose and one purpose only: to spoof THE EXCORCIST. I like that idea since I didn't like THE EXCORCIST that much and the movie spoofs it very well yet there needs to be more to the movie. It would have worked better if the movie spoofed several movies and not just a few. Though as I said before, it is a very funny movie with the two leads giving their best performances. The music and special effects are also top-rate along with the writing. I hope that there is a REPOSSESSED 2 sometime soon.

A great spoof of a classic movie, with a lot of 'one liners' from other movies. You may have to watch close to catch some of them. This movie also makes light of televangalists and the catholic church, but is in no way what I would call 'disrespectful' or sacrilegious. The fact Linda Blair reprises her role in this spoof makes it all the better. Its very 'campy' and some would say 'stupid'...but my family loved it, that includes my husband, who is a minister. It has the classic humor and campiness of other Leslie Nielsen's movies, complete with the props and literal actions of some of the lines. If you like other movies Nielsen has done, this is a 'must see'!

Spoofmaster Leslie Neilsen appears in this outrageous, unofficial comedic sequel to 'The Exorcist' as Father Mayii, the exorcist pro who comes out of retirement when summoned by an idealistic priest, Father Brophy (Starke), to help out geeky suburban middle-age mom, Nancy Aglet (Blaire) who has recently been re-re-re-repossessed!

But, two tacky popular televangelists, Ernest and Fanny Ray, hosting a local religious wacko program, figure they can cash in on Nancy's dilemma and want to broadcast the exorcism.

If you love spoofs, give this one a shot. This is going to be one entertaining exorcism!

• She has an ungodly voice, maniacal facial expressions...
• That doesn't prove a thing, she could be related to Joe Cocker.
• No.
• Could it be she had PMS?

A comedy made as a sequel to a famous horror "The Exorcist". In the original movie, in 1973 devil takes possession of a girl named Reagan, while in "Repossessed" he takes the same person 17 years later, but here she is named Nancy. Linda Blair plays both roles, Nancy and Reagan... Nancy Reagan :D For her role in "The Exorcist" she got Golden Globe and Oscar nomination, while in her later performances she was nominated for the worst actress six times. The movie is full of typical Leslie Nielsen humor, references and parodies to everything and anything. To me, it was very entertaining and definitely worth watching, maybe even more than the original.

7,5/10

Leslie Nielsen stars in another spoof, this time parodying The Exorcist. Linda Blair returns and spoofs her own character, as Nancy Aglet, and is again possessed by the demon. As a result, Nielsen's character, Father Jebedaiah Mayii, is called upon to help vanquish the demon - all the while the exorcism is being broadcast on live TV by a sensationalist show.

As with any Nielson spoofs, there are lots of gags from start to finish, along with some slapstick humor and endless parodies of various movies, from The Wizard of Oz to Rambo III. It was nice seeing the return of Linda Blair and she does a good job in recreating her role as the possessed girl, inserting tastefully done humor when necessary. However, the plot did lose steam by the time the movie focused on the TV show broadcasting the exorcism, which I thought made the film become more like a game-show than a comedy spoof. Therefore, it's not the best of Nielson's spoofs, but still laughable nonetheless.

Grade C+
