Repossessed

Rating:
Summary: It was one of the funniest movies I've seen!
Review: I think that one of the best parts of the movie was when he sang "DEVIL WITH A BLUE DRESS." The clothes he was wearing were great!

Rating:
Summary: A Must-See for even non-exorcist fans!
Review: I think this is the best spoof on any horror movie ever made! Ever since I saw it for the first time, that's the first thing that I look for when I go to my local video store! If it's out of the store, you're lucky your not around to see me! I'd say I become possessed myself!

Summary: Funny, but the cursing was a little uneccesary.
Review: I thought that Repossessed was really funny! It should have been the funniest horror comedy of the year 1990. I was extremely impressed on how they made very funny and well thoughtout jokes. It was a little crazy mixed in with a little funny! I wish they would make a sequel of it. If you want to see this than you have to watch The Exorcist, Possessed, or Poltergiest. They all have to pretty much cover the whole story about Repossessed.

Summary: Great
Review: I thought this movie was great. Whatever anyone said about it being weak is wrong! Leslie Neilson is hilarious in it!

Summary: "DEVILISHLY FUNNY"
Review: If ever there were a film that was just asking to be satirized it had to be the Exorcist. All the elements for a great spoof were already in place: pea soup vomiting, shaking beds, twisting heads and levitation. Just take away the suspense; add Leslie Nielson and voila`, instant mayhem.

The film is not quite in the same league as Airplane or the Naked Gun, and will be appreciated mainly by those who have seen the Exorcist. Nevertheless it is still a very enjoyable, fun filled romp. Linda Blair plays the lady possessed in a role hilariously analogous to her lead in the Exorcist 17 years earlier. Leslie Nielson steps into the shoes of Max Von Sydow and delivers another riotous performance. The movie parodies the Exorcist in many ways, moving along at a similar pace, but delivering an alternative approach. Almost like viewing the same film but in a dimension of aberration.

Horror and comdy fans alike will enjoy this movie. If you're not brave enough to watch the Exorcist, but want to taste some of the furore surrounding it then this might just be for you.

Summary: Good script writing, bad acting
Review: If it weren't for the fact that whoever wrote this script was extremely talented, this movie would have been depressingly terrible. The acting in this movie suffers from... well, it just suffers. Leslie Nielson does a decent job as a retired excorsist while the other unknowns in this movie simply seem to be along for the ride. Linda Blair does a great Satan, but she isn't at all humorus, and the guy who plays the young priest isn't even worth attention (except for the fact that he has some nice lines). The female TV avengelist does a great job of being a total ditz, but she also isn't really worthy of much notice.

Fortunately enough, the script's jokes rely mostly upon Nielson or prop jokes, allowing the viewers to ignore the lousy acting. Blair also has some nice lines, and delievers them well, although most of them simply involve mimicing another show or movie (Barbara Walters, "There here." From Polterguiest).

Overall a really good movie if you've seen every other available Nielson video, but definately not his best. I guess the children weren't the only ones who needed the acting lessons.

Summary: Decent for ' Exorcist ' Lovers, Pathetic for Blair
Review: Okay it was a spoof. But most people found it pathetic that Linda Blair used comedy to hang onto her one shot at fame. Linda was not funny in this film at all. If it weren't for Leslie Nielson I wouldn't have wasted my time. I loved LN in Naked Gun and he's funny no matter how bad a film is. He proves it with Repossessed, a tired comedy remake of The Exorcist. There were some very scary moments in this film and it started with Blair thinking she had comedic skills of any kind. She was a great child actor but the fuse sparked out a long time ago. This is okay to watch if you don't want to think or laugh that much but there are far more better horror comedies out there.
" Transylvania 6-5000" and " Scary Movie I " are hilarious. They maybe corny but they deliver the laughs. Repossessed was just a tired excuse for Linda Blair to reclaim her old character ONCE again.

Summary: The theme music is during the credits
Review: Please concentrate on the product. What great advice for those who want to know what this film is all about. This movie is everybody at their best. Leslie, Linda, Ned Beatty as Ernest Weller. Get this movie if you are an Exorcist fan. Get this movie if you are NOT an Exorcist fan. Get this movie if you are or not a beatnik. If you are the unholy demon Beallzafire get this movie because it will make you LAUGH, you will be a twisted pizza loving bongo playing blob of giggling jelly but you will be laughing! Especially if you sit there in astonished amazement all the way through the closing credits listenng to the bop song that finishes the video or at least used to before advertising began to cut closing credits short. The mock rapper song is "The Devil, He's Back", or Theme from Repossessed, and should be picked up by every rap music station in the world once again to celebate 2004 Leap Year and Election Year. This film is really most powerfully paranormal in Leap Years and during Presidential Election years. The story takes the cult out of occultic and does to Satan what Ghostbusters did to the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man. It doesn't have a villain like Vigo in Ghostbusters Two, and it does have Ned Beatty cleaning up his Otis routine from Superman To, yet still giving characterisation full swing as TV Evangelist E. Weller, who develops fully through several phases of deep concentration and decision making comically so before giving the film back to Leslie Neilsen to successfully conclude. Now I have heard that Beatty is leaving show biz to retire in Minnesota. He now thinks he can handle demonically cold boring winters with the savvy that conquers the Devil in Repossessed. He's got Lucifer by the bull rushes however in this movie, and for an obviously 59 year old actor who thinks he's retiring soon, retirement won't be the same unless he packs a copy of Repossessed and shows it to the frostbitten town of Karlstadt, where he's gone to build his house. For a guy who has been as busy in Holywood as he has, the busiest, and married as many times as he has five or six or four three two one, he's gonna need a powerful exorcism like Repossesssed to just keep sane in the evil midwest. Glad somebody knows which roles to accept and which to turn down. Eh, Boss Hogg? Ernest Weller you take care and keep in the touch.

Summary: Ranks right up there with the Naked Gun and Airplane! series
Review: Really down and want a laugh? Take a look at this film! A promise is made by me to be laughing 'til the end! Linda Blair is great as the poor Nancy Aglet. And don't forget the classic Nielsen as Father Mayia and Stark as Father Brophy... The whole cast is a riot! Even the music is a hoot! From the title theme "Repossessed" to the rap closing theme "He's coming back". It's all worth the money! The real laughs are going to come out of the people who are familiar with "The Exorcist" and will understand most of the jokes. Exorcist fans will get a chuckle out of the "lick me" scene where Blair turns herself into an icecream cone, the levitation scene which is revealed to me an illusion by Nielsen and a handy pair of sicsors, and also, the scene where Nielsen just isn't the best aim with his bottle of Holy Water from a Seven-Eleven.

The part that would have to be the most memorable for me is at the very end when everything has failed. Suddenly, Stark remembers how much Satan hates rock and roll. Nielsen gets the Pope, the priests, and the Nuns together and forms the Exorcism band "Salvation"...there, Nielsen gets in the groove to Exorcise Blair with his version of "Devil with the Blue Dress"...be prepared for some great Michael Jackson and Elton John impressions. All-in-all, this is a very funny movie!

Summary: THE BEST BEST BEST SPOOF!!!
Review: Repossessed is without a doubt the best spoof of a horror film ever. I remember the first time I saw it, having been (and still am) a Huge fan of hooror movies and having tseen the Exorcist several times, My brother and I laughed so hard we fell on the floor! There are almost no flaws in the comedy here, from the great music to the one liners ...The best was when Father Brophy says to Linda Blair/The Devil " You cant win this time. Did you know that the Christian religion has over a billion followers?" And Linda Blair/The Devil replies, "Big deal, so does the Wheel of Fortune.So dont try to impress me with numbers."

Definitely a must see . I've seen it so many times I cant count and I never get tired of it. Those who have seen the original Exorcist will appreciate this film the best. I think who=ever wrote this script including the end credit rap "HE'S COMING BACK!" should have won an AWARD DEFINITELY!!!
