Critic Reviews

Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
fits in better with the slate of low-rent spoof movies, having more in common with Epic Movie than the original ZAZ classics like Airplane!
Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, Dread Central
I remembered it being bad back then, but nothing could have prepared me for how truly awful it was seeing it through much older eyes.
Kurt Dahlke, Apollo Guide
Makes Scary Movie 2 look like Young Frankenstein.
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Whatever were they thinking?
Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
BAD wanna-be comedy. Really lame.

A spoof of the Exorcist with the Star of the Original Piece, that is very rare. I must admit I m very sceptical to many movies with Leslie Nielsen, he is not always funny for my taste and I must admit I easily get bored in many of his movies even if it is directed by ZuckNuckle… More
A spoof of the Exorcist with the Star of the Original Piece, that is very rare. I must admit I m very sceptical to many movies with Leslie Nielsen, he is not always funny for my taste and I must admit I easily get bored in many of his movies even if it is directed by ZuckNuckle (David Zucker) but this was a guilty Joy .

They took the Exorcist legend and tried to make it fun, but it ends up being just dumb and derivative. Kudos to them for getting Linda Blair to star in this. Leslie Nielson fits the priest role nicely, but a better script and set of gags was needed.

Hilarious stuff from beginning to end but it must upset the Mary Whitehouse brigade!

Good spoof of horror's "The Exorcist" version as Linda Blair returns as an adult possessed demon since she was a teenage girl. In the famous vomit sequence, it was actually split pea soup that came out of Linda's mouth.

This "parody" of the The Exorcist is a movie that is entertaining and funny moments but most of it is no fun and heavy, in Briefly is bad, seeing the original Exorcist and this parody almost hatred.
