Teenage Exorcist

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.

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.

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 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

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.
