Repossessed Audience Reviews

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Smoreni Zmaj Comedy made as sequel to famous horror The Exorcist. In original movie, in 1973 devil takes possession of girl named Reagan, while in Repossessed he takes the same person 17 years later, but here she is named Nancy. Linda Blair plays both roles, Nancy and Reagan... Nancy Reagan :D For her role in The Exorcist she got Golden Globe and Oscar nomination, while in her later performances she was nominated for the worst actress 6 times. Movie is full of typical Leslie Nielsen humor, references and parodies to everything and anything. To me, it was very entertaining and definitely worth watching more than original...........................................
OllieSuave-007 Leslie Nielsen stars in another spoof, this time parodying The Exorcist. Linda Blair returns and spoofs her own character, as Nancy Aglet, and is again possessed by the demon. As a result, Nielsen's character, Father Jebedaiah Mayii, is called upon to help vanquish the demon - all the while the exorcism is being broadcast on live TV by a sensationalist show.As with any Nielson spoofs, there are lots of gags from start to finish, along with some slapstick humor and endless parodies of various movies, from The Wizard of Oz to Rambo III. It was nice seeing the return of Linda Blair and she does a good job in recreating her role as the possessed girl, inserting tastefully done humor when necessary. However, the plot did lose steam by the time the movie focused on the TV show broadcasting the exorcism, which I thought made the film become more like a game-show than a comedy spoof. Therefore, it's not the best of Nielson's spoofs, but still laughable nonetheless.Grade C+
Coventry This is one major disappointing and occasionally even downright insufferable horror-parody. Ironically enough, the funniest aspects about "Repossessed" are the trivia details behind it. Apparently the initial screening tests didn't fail just once, but twice! At first the script contained almost exclusively jokes and typical situations referring to the 1973 horror landmark "The Exorcist" but, being released no less than 17 years overdue, a large part of the target audience was too young to already have seen that film and hence didn't comprehend the humor. Subsequently, entire parts of the script got replaced with more general and contemporary 80's comedy (for example: an extended sequence set inside a fitness center with guru Jake Steinfeld) in order to appeal more to younger viewers, but it still failed because … well, the movie simply isn't funny! Writer/director Bob Logan's only remotely praiseworthy accomplishment was that he (or at least his producers) managed to trap Linda Blair into playing a mocking version of the one role that made her world famous. But even that you have to put into perspective, as Blair was probably so tired of getting typecast that she considered a comical part her last resort to get rid of her 'that-Exorcist-girl' reputation. Leslie Nielsen, with his almost naturally comical charisma, narrates the events of "Repossessed" in front of a class of college students. The films opens with a flashback of Nancy's first exorcism in 1973, but then jumps forward 17 years in time, when she's a married woman with two annoying brat-children. Via the TV-set, the devil takes possession of her body and yet again she spurts gooey green stuff all over her beloved ones. Father Mayii is reluctant to perform another exorcism because of his heart condition, so Nancy relies on the inexperienced young priest Father Brophy and a couple of power-hungry Televangelists that don't even believe in demonic possession. There aren't any truly laugh-out-loud moments in "Repossessed" at all. If you're lucky, you might briefly chuckle once or twice but the majority of jokes are just plain embarrassing. There are numerous lame literal jokes and uninspired puns that'll make you roll your eyes in disbelief. For example, one character says: "The word on the street says that your career is history…" and at the same moment the camera actually shows a piece of street with the words "your career is history" painted on it. Lame! The finale is pitiable and seems to go on forever, especially when the entire cast starts imitating the greatest rock stars of the eighties. Remember the intro of "Scary Movie 2" (which simultaneously is the only worthwhile sequence in the whole film) where James Woods does a wacky 10 minutes re-enactment of "The Exorcist"? Well, it might be crude and vulgar, but that scene is much funnier and more effective as this dud.
Cristian I always have love parodies. "Airplane!", "The Naked Gun" (And its sequels), "Pandemonium" and "Scary Movie" are my favorites. Make good parodies is very difficult. Bob Logan's "Repossessed" is a great example of a good parody. Much people don't give it a chance, but i really think that this is a great comedy, of course with some flaws but and outstanding Linda Blair, and a funny Leslie Nielsen, "Repossessed" becomes to be one of my favorite comedies and parodies."Repossessed" is the funny satire to the original and terrible but excellent "The Exorcist" (1973), which have too Linda Blair in the same character. But, is necessary that you understand what i try to say first with the plot of the original parodied film. William Peter Blatty's "The Exorcist" is about a little girl who is possessed by the devil, and how a poor mother and the faith of a young priest its debated in his own believes. The film was one of the most shocking dramatic horror and at the same time spiritual since then. But much of the cast and crew suffer a lot, and Linda Blair, with only 12 years, was one of the most affected. Linda Blair was the famous possessed girl. As i seen in an "A& E" biography, Linda don't have a calm adolescence. Since then was like a curse for her. "Repossessed" was like a real salvation, a real exorcism for that course, for that demon who pursuit her since the original film. She want laugh of that suffer, she want laugh of the devil, so she do "Repossessed".Bob Logan's "Repossessed" is perfect. Makes laugh with ironical situations, besides of awesome performances (I love the performance of Anthony Starke). I think that "Repossesed" is not so simple as much of us think. Of course is silly, but far of that has a lot messages: The media and how have control of the audience (Like "Network" for example), how maybe the believes and religion are not so different, and how we can laugh of the devil and the suffering in this way. "Repossessed" is silly, of course. But this foolishness had a great meaning.*Sorry for the mistakes... well, if there any.
