It's been some time since Father Jebedaiah Mayii exorcised the Devil from little Nancy Aglet, who is now grown up with a husband and two children of her own. But the prince of darkness wants to go a second round and has returned to repossess her! With Father Mayii unwilling to help, Father Luke Brophy tries his best to help Nancy, even when TV's Ernest Weller plans to air the exorcism live on TV.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

As a teenager, I became a Leslie Nielsen fan after having seen Naked Gun and Airplane! I saw everything I could find with his name listed, except this movie. It was there in my video rental shop, alright, but friends told me it was the worst god-awful crap they'd seen. And with respect to Mr Spoof-Master and my feelings for him, I never saw it.Until now.Why not, I thought, when it is for free on Youtube? And initially, I was pleasantly surprised. The movie did look good with some production values (professional actors, good photo and locations). The humor was plain silly and was not able to capture the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker attitude it imitated, in which everything seems to be deadpan serious until it turns on its head, but Leslie Nielsen did a good job nevertheless. Not good, but not really bad either.When Linda Blair became re-possessed and visited a hospital and there after a church for professional help, it was already a lame movie. And from there on it was a downward spiral with lousy, uninspired jokes galore. Really, what is funny with the notion that a possessed woman is used in a television ballyhoo? At this point, "Reposessed" have almost nothing in common with the movie it try to parody; in "The Exorcist" (1973) the possession is a horrible, shameful event the family must hide from public.

I am a huge fan of Leslie Nielson's movies and this is among my favorites of his. This movie is absolutely hilarious. It is typical Leslie Nielson humor for those of you who know his type of humor he uses in his movies. This movie makes fun of The Exorcist. It is about a woman who as a child was possessed by the devil and a priest named Father Mayi did the exorcism and then retired due to a heart condition. This woman becomes repossessed by the devil and begs a newcomer priest to help her. This movie has stupid humor but is nonetheless clever and funny. Leslie Nielson is very funny in this film and the rest of the supporting cast are also really good and funny as well.

Low-budget, low-balled, overwhelmingly juvenile, though surprisingly tolerable "Airplane!"-like spoof of "The Exorcist", which was overdue in 1990 and--in light of the televangelist jokes--seems even more passé today. "Exorcist" star Linda Blair returns as a housewife named Nancy (in the previous film she was Regan, haha) whose body is taken over by a raucous, prankish Prince of Darkness; Leslie Nielsen is the befuddled priest. Writer-director Bob Logan seems to have earned the trust of his players, who go out on a limb trying to make this thing fly, but too many of the gags bomb out and the film's continuity is sloppy. It is nice however to see the normally put-upon Blair having a good time, dancing to "Devil With the Blue Dress On", and hamming it up in high spirits. ** from ****

Father Mayii exorcised a possessed child named Nancy 17 year's ago- but now she is repossessed while watching the TV. So Father Brophy tries to get Father Mayii out of retirement to help him perform Nancy's exorcism and also it's going to be played on live TV to boost ratings for some has-beens.This a reasonably okay spoof on 'The Exorcist' that has it fair share of hits and misses, led by Leslie Nielsen as the head priest and the one who is telling the story about the repossession to a class of students. The film itself isn't great as a whole, as you got a couple good scenes and one-liners that standout from the rest- but you got a couple scenes and lines that are incredibly in bad taste or just lame.One thing I noticed that some gag's were borrowed in the opening sequence of the awfully bad Scary Movie 2, with the 'The Exorcist' part being the only amusing thing about that movie.The story itself is weak and really of no importance, as it's the gags that are the main attraction, with one gag or joke after another- though some of the gags start getting really tiresome and repetitive halfway through the film. So because of the one-idea film, it drags towards the end, making it feel longer than its 80mins-running time.The performances are nothing special, Leslie Nielsen has most of the funny parts as the retired Father Jebedaiah Mayii who makes a comeback to face his old demons (in many amusing ways) and also Ned Betty as Ernest Weller has his comical moments as the TV host. Linda Blair reprises her role that made her big- but this time mocking her performance in 'The Exorcist', as the possessed women named Nancy Aglet, while she was quite funny at first especially with the hilarious scenes involving her family- but after a while it got kind of stale and Anthony Starke plays the young unexperienced Father Luke Brophy, who is basically wooden and is pretty light of the laughs.This is worth a look if you want to see a stupid mockery of a classic film- but still it's quite forgettable and if you want a good comedy in the same vein with Leslie Nielsen watch the Naked Gun films instead.2/5
