" Teenage exorcist, teenage exorcist. He's got the devil on the run, oh yeah..."
We have all encountered better poster than the movie, better trailer than the movie, better clips than the movie, how about a better intro song than the movie? Thats either sinking to a new low or raising to a new high.
Teenage Exorcist does peak early with this fucking rockin intro song. Prime late 80s early 90s hair metal feeling jam. Then the movie is a crummy would be comedy teen thing which, I will admit early, might be sorta fun with some friends and drinks, but for solo sober viewing on a Tuesday morning, well it doesn't quite fit the bill too much.
Teenage Exorcist itself is associated with Fred Olen Ray, one of the many Z-grade film guys that makes things that exclusively sell on double sided DVDs in valu-paks for $3.99. He wrote this garbage, and by that I mean he sat down and wrote a few sentences. This is likely about what he wrote:
Its a comedy about teenage possession and it involves exorcism. Some girl is possessed, her sister and sister's husband come over, comedy ensues, and eventually they get a priest who accidentally orders pizza instead of calling for a the priest. Pizza guy arrives and promptly the movie randomly focuses on him?
Eddie Deezen is the name attached to this, fresh off his Spielberg appearance in 1941. He is supposed to be the most funny of all the other funny things, instead nothing is funny, and boy does this movie drag. I paused it many times to see how much of this shit was left. Its not violent, there's very little nudity, its not funny, and it consists mostly of just the same thing again and again and again. They try the exorcism, it doesn't work. They try something else, it doesn't work.. repeat.
With some friends, its maybe a 2.5 at best, for solo Tuesday its a one.
