This rare movie from 1990 Stars Linda Blair with Leslie Nelson in Repossessed its a spoof of off The Exorcist
Directed by Bob Logan Produced by Steve Wizan Written by Bob Logan Starring Leslie Nielsen Linda Blair Ned Beatty Anthony Starke Music by Charles Fox Cinematography Michael D. Margulies Studio Carolco Pictures Distributed by Seven Arts Pictures (through New Line Cinema) Release date(s) September 14, 1990 Running time 80 minutes Country USA Language English Repossessed is a 1990 comedy film that spoofs the 1973 horror film The Exorcist. The film features the original star of The Exorcist, Linda Blair, as well as Leslie Nielsen and Anthony Starke. Many gags were based around events in The Exorcist, such as the green-vomit and head-spinning scenes. It was written and directed by Bob Logan. WWE commentators "Mean Gene" Okerlund and Jesse "The Body" Ventura play a semi-major role in the movie's climax. Repossessed was re-released on DVD on April 14, 2009 by Lions Gate in a box set of forgotten films called the "Lost Collection". [edit]Plot Father Jedediah Mayii (Nielsen) casts out the Devil from the body of young Nancy Aglet (Blair). Seventeen years later, 1990, Nancy's body is possessed once again, however, while watching "The Ernest and Fanny Miracle Hour", a religious broadcast. After a visit to the hospital, and a visit from Father Luke Brophy (Starke), Brophy concludes that Nancy is indeed possessed. Mayii, however, refuses to perform the exorcism, claiming he is too weak, and that both he and Nancy barely survived her previous exorcism. Brophy then visits the Supreme Council for Exorcism Granting. Ernest and Fanny of "The Ernest and Fanny Miracle Hour" are also present. Ernest concludes that an exorcism is warranted, and convinces the Council to televise Nancy's exorcism. They agree, believing it will convert millions, so Ernest presents "Ernest and Fanny's Exorcism Tonight" to the network. Feeling he may be needed, Mayii visits "Bods-R-Us", a gymnasium, to restore his physical strength. There, Brophy approaches him, informs him of the televised exorcism, and attempts once more to convince Mayii to conduct the exorcism, though he refuses again. The night of Nancy's exorcism arrives, presented by Ernest and Fanny. After a montage of attempts to free Nancy's body using phone donations, song, and insults ("You're so tough, how come you possessed a woman's body?"), "Ernest and Fanny's Exorcism Tonight" is announced as having the largest audience in history. Upon hearing this, the Devil, in Nancy's body, sets the studio on fire, causing the audience to flee. He reveals to Ernest and Fanny that he used them to get the largest audience, and turns them into a pantomime horse. Using the camera, the Devil tries to claim the souls of the viewing audience, but is stopped by Brophy, who destroys the camera. The Devil announces he knows another way to claim their souls, and runs away, heading for Disneyland. He is pursued by religious figures from around the world, who have gathered at Brophy's command. Brophy teases the Devil using his defeat by Mayii. Back in the studio, the Devil once more uses the camera to lure Mayii for a rematch. Mayii surrenders, and arrives at the TV studio. The exorcism is commentated by "Mean Gene" Okerlund and Jesse Ventura, and seems to be futile. However, the Devil mentions that he hates Rock 'n Roll. Turning the TV studio into a live concert, the song "Devil with a Blue Dress on" is played to the Devil by the various religious figures, including The Pope on guitars. The Devil is tormented so that he is finally driven from Nancy's body, declaring "I'll be back!". |
