Featured reviews
I almost avoid this one because someone wrote that it had gratuitous nudity, it doesn't. There are two breast shots and one long butt shot but not gratuitous. This is a parody of a multitude of different horror movies and it start really strong and stays that way until the hour mark. They lost their way after that, it has some actually funny parts throughout and deserves a 6 rating at least. I think most of the negative reviews are from the lack of nudity, it's not a skin flix though. The pizza guy should have came in earlier I think and just having 3 zombies for the horde of zombies was a little underwhelming. Still though, it has more than a few funny parts though the first 3/4's.
Teenage Exorcist is one of those God-awful films to video that makes the viewer give up any expectations of decent entertainment for low brow sexual antics, adolescent humour, and empty writing. This film delivers exactly what its was trying to deliver. It is about a girl moving into a house where a Baron de Sade(hmmm) once lived and finally being drawn to him through her own inner demon. Her sister and brother-in-law, along with an Irish priest, her boyfriend, and a pizza delivery boy, try to save her and exorcise her demon. Well, not much here in way of horror or suspense. In fact, one line from the film pretty much sums up what to expect. Mike(the girl's brother-in-law) has tied her(the name is Diane by the way and she is played by Brinke Stevens) up after trying to chainsaw her sister. He removes a gag from her mouth and says something like, "This won't be the last gag we see tonight." Indeed, it was not. The special effects are cheesy and poorly crafted, and the film makes use of this by playing on its comedic appeal. Some of the lines and situations are funny. Robert Quarry, old Count Yorga himself, really steals his scenes as an Irish priest. He hams it up wailing Biblical verses and crooning Irish songs. You know you are in trouble, however, when Eddie Deezen gets top billing. Deezen does his schtick and has a couple nice moments as well, but the material is just too threadbare than to be anything more than teenage sophomoric time filler. Michael Berryman, from The Hills Have Eyes, also has a brief but interesting cameo in the film. As for the other thespians, well, they are all pretty good at being pretty mediocre. Stevens is lovely in fishnet stockings and French-cut panties, but beyond that don't expect too much more from her. Her sister is played by Elena Sahagun, and she shows a bit more than Brinke(a very lovely young lady by the way) and out acts Brinke by miles. Her husband, played by Jay Richardson shows off his ability to act and be funny amidst mediocrity. Again, not a bad film to waste a little time that involves NO thinking on. If you are a Robert Quarry fan, watch it for his performance at the very least.
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 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.
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

- TriviaAccording to screenwriter/star Brinke Stevens, Eddie Deezen's role was originally written for a cute girl. However, after Deezen was cast, Brinke had to do frantic rewriting on the set. Sally and Diane were also only friends in the original script. Someone working on the film thought that Brinke and Elena Sahagun resembled each other, so the script was re-written to make them sisters.
