Essa Mulher é o Demônio

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

Teenage Exorcist (1991)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

A teenager (Brinke Stevens) buys a house and gets a terrific deal on it from the Realtor (Michael Berryman) who is practically giving it away. Soon the teenager learns why and it's because there's a demon in the house and soon the sweet girl finds herself possessed. Thankfully Father McFerrin (Robert Quarry) knows what to do.

TEENAGE EXORCIST is one of those films back in the day that was released straight-to-VHS where teenage boys would rent it on the weekend to show at their parties. Stevens, who wrote the screenplay based on a story by Fred Olen Ray, must have saw this as an opportunity to do something that did more than require her to get naked but sadly the film is basically just one joke that keeps playing itself out.

The biggest problem is that there's just nothing too special here. The film goes for plenty of laughs but not all of them are reached and more often than not the material just seems very stretched and desperate for a laugh. There are some funny moments including one sequence where a woman is taking a shower when the demon comes up from behind and drops the soap Another funny sequence has the Father trying to talk his way out of being attacked by a group of zombies.

Fans of the genre will enjoy seeing Stevens, although she really doesn't have much to do. It's always fun seeing Berryman and Quarry gets a few funny moments as the Father. TEENAGE EXORCIST runs way too long at 86 minutes but those wanting to relive their VHS days might find this worth viewing.

I recently watched Teenage Exorcist (1991) on Shudder. The story follows a recent college grad looking for a place with cheap rent, and she ends up finding a mansion that seems too good to be true. Of course, it is-the house is haunted, and a sinister spirit is looking to take over her soul. Can she stop it in time?

Directed by Grant Austin Waldman (Gator King), the film stars Brinke Stevens (The Slumber Party Massacre), Eddie Deezen (Grease), Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes), and Elena Sahagun (Marked for Death).

This is a classic '80s-style horror comedy that never takes itself too seriously. The writing is mediocre, most of the jokes fall flat, and honestly, the exorcism parody was done better in Scary Movie 2. That said, it delivers on several genre staples: plenty of '80s-style nudity, gorgeous women, and a few genuinely funny sex jokes. The makeup, masks, and costumes are surprisingly top-notch. The final demon and Diane's transformation look fantastic, and the ending was unexpectedly fun and well-executed.

In conclusion, Teenage Exorcist isn't a great film, but it has just enough going on to keep a horror fan entertained. I'd score it a 5.5/10.

This shoestring budget parody of "The Exorcist", is a hit or miss affair. A strong beginning is ushered in by the catchy theme song, followed by some totally gratuitous nudity, and amusing situations. All this leads up to the "posession" and attempted exorcism by a priest. The acting is not too bad and the story flows nicely until Eddie Deezen arrives on the scene. At this point, "Teenage Exorcist" loses it's way, and destructs, mostly due to Deezen's annoying "schtick". Michael Berryman's part is very minor, but his presence alone is a plus. Overall, a pretty good first half, and a catchy theme song, carry it until the disappointing conclusion. - MERK

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.
