I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Platypuschow
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 Lieve Schreiber the movie bounces from unfunny scene to unfunny scene and struggles to entertain.The Good: Nothing The Bad: Terrible creature sfxBrinke Stevens really is a terrible actressMichael Berryman is nothing but a cameo roleThings I learnt from this film:When possessed it's customary to wear bondage gear for no explained reason. If you spill a drink on your groin it's best to take all your clothes off and get into girls clothing. The best method of handling zombies is to play cards with them

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

College student, Diane(Brinke Stevens who also wrote the screenplay based on a story by Fred Olen Ray)gets a house ridiculously cheap for a reason..a demon resides in the basement of her home. Plagued by weird goings-on(..milk box "breathing", lettuce bleeding, Ouija board demanding her to join the evil living between her walls, etc), Diane calls up sister, Sally(Elena Sahagun)and her husband Mike(Jay Richardson)to see the place. Making the mistake of going down into her basement, Diane is possessed and it'll be up to Sally and Mike to somehow save her soul. Soon insufferable, jaded "boyfriend", Jeff(Tom Shell), who can not leave Diane alone despite her demands for privacy, will force his way into the situation. Together the three will see no other alternative but to call up a priest to exorcise Diane, Father McFerrin(Robert Quarry). Due to outrageous circumstances, a pizza delivery boy, Eddie(Eddie Deezen)will even enter the picture and all hell breaks loose, with Mike chosen as a "virgin" sacrifice so that the demon in the basement can be set free to roam the earth.Full on spoof of The Exorcist with a spirited cast enjoying themselves. Stevens isn't a teenager, but she does spend a lengthy amount of time in seductress mode, transforming into a sultry sex kitten from a rather mousy, geeky type of virginal innocent when possessed. Deezen gets top billing despite not entering the film until it was half way over, doing his usual nerdy shtick..he will become a chess piece the trio uses in an attempt to gain an upper hand against the forces of evil. Richardson, inspired casting as a stock broker, smoking a pipe, hams it up(..and obviously enjoying himself), as the cowardly hero who is at times almost putty in Stevens hands, resisting her feminine wiles unlike many others..it's the kind of tongue-in-cheek performance he's accustomed to and a wink to the viewer that this movie is all fun and games. Sahagun is the worried sister who spends a great period of time talking her husband out of fleeing the house..and has a very lurid shower sequence where demonic hands caress her naked body.Robert Quarry steals his scenes as an unprepared priest, in over his head and helpless when his bible is burnt to a crisp. Shell is the second unlikely hero trying to uncover a strategy that would enable them to save his beloved. Stevens, spending time in a very alluring gown and dominatrix outfit, seems to be reveling in the role of an innocent intruded upon internally by a demonic force using her buried sex appeal as a method for securing potential freedom. Michael Berryman has an amusing cameo, cast certainly against type, as a real estate agent! You get the usual Exorcist parody gags such as Diane's face grotesquely warped, spitting pea soup, sounding out bizarre voices. The film is really more of a sex comedy, though, as non-stop zingers and sight-gags are on display, with horror elements also given goofy treatment such as the zombies released as a dangerous tool of the demon(..they are convinced by Father McFerrin to play cards instead!)to prevent the trio from exiting the premises for outside assistance. The horned demon is even lampooned for our viewing pleasure, lamenting aloud at how hard it is to complete his sacrifical ceremony because of Diane's "freshman" blunders. Mike, Sally, and Jeff often favor the scooby doo gang peeping cautiously throughout the house just in case evil is lurking around the corner or in the next room. This is essential viewing for fans of Brinke Stevens, even though she doesn't get naked. If you are in the right mood, Teenage Exorcist will entertain you, although the comedy is hit and miss.
Nullness
This movie tries too hard to be funny. I know it's supposed to be a spoof on the exorcist, but isn't there a Liam Neson movie that already does that? It's just dull, and it's constant effort to try and make jokes just makes it more and more boring and annoying to watch. But if you like the tv show versions of "Police Academy" and "Honey of Blew Up the Kids" you'll probably like this.
