🍿 Repossessed: Detailed Plot Synopsis

The Return of the Devil

Seventeen years after a harrowing exorcism, Nancy Aglet, now a suburban housewife with a family, finds herself once again targeted by the Devil. Strange occurrences plague her household, and it becomes clear that she is being repossessed. Her peaceful life is shattered as the demonic presence returns to wreak havoc.

Father Mayii’s Reluctance

Nancy seeks help from Father Jebedaiah Mayii, the priest who originally exorcised her. However, Father Mayii is now older and reluctant to face the demon again due to his health. He’s haunted by his past experiences and fears the toll another exorcism would take. Father Luke Brophy, a younger, eager priest steps in to assist Nancy.

Televised Exorcism

Capitalizing on Nancy’s plight, Ernest Weller, a flamboyant TV evangelist, sees an opportunity to boost ratings. He plans to broadcast Nancy’s exorcism live on television, turning the sacred ritual into a spectacle. This adds another layer of chaos and absurdity to the situation, as the exorcism becomes a media circus.

💥 Repossessed Reviews

Personal Review

Okay, I’ll admit it. I have a soft spot for Leslie Nielsen comedies, even the ones that aren’t *Naked Gun* level. There’s something so wonderfully absurd about the jokes, even when they miss. Seeing Linda Blair back, spoofing her own iconic role, is just brilliant. I mean, pea soup jokes galore! The whole thing is a bit silly, but if you need a laugh, it’s worth a watch, especially when Nielsen imitates rock stars during the exorcism – pure comedy gold, in my opinion. I give it a 7/10.

• Who would enjoy:
  • “Fans of Leslie Nielsen’s comedy”
  • “Viewers who enjoy spoofs and parodies”
  • “Those familiar with ‘The Exorcist'”
• Content warnings ⚠:
  • “Crude humor”
  • “Suggestive content”
  • “Parody violence”
  • “Thematic elements related to demonic possession”

Professional Reviews

• IMDB: “A spoof of THE EXORCIST with Linda Blair returning and Nelson coming off THE NAKED GUN should have meant a sure-fire hit but sadly this is a rather boring, unfunny and at times painfully bad movie. There’s so much that could have been done with the material but this is a perfect example of why certain films work and why others don’t.
• IMDB: “Linda Blair returns in the same role, poking fun at her original movie. If you enjoy the comedy of Leslie Nielsen you will probably like this movie. Is is filled with slapstick humor, and should not be taken seriously.
• IMDB: “Leslie Nielsen was always at his best when he could hook up with the ‘Airplane’/’Naked Gun’-team, which consisted of gifted writers. ‘Repossessed’ is written and directed by the guy who made ‘Meatballs 4’. That should probably give you a fair idea of what this movie is like.

Audience Reactions

Linda Blair’s willingness to make fun of herself is appreciated and makes the movie watchable.: Fans appreciate Linda Blair’s presence and how she spoofs her role in The Exorcist, even if the humor doesn’t always land.

Leslie Nielsen’s comedic timing is impeccable, even when the jokes are corny, he makes them work.: Nielsen fans tend to enjoy his deadpan delivery and commitment to the silliness, as it is a staple of his work.

Overall Consensus: Repossessed is a mixed bag; it’s a silly spoof that relies heavily on the star power of Linda Blair and Leslie Nielsen. While some find it hilarious, others find it falls flat, being too reliant on dated humor and lacking the wit of better spoof movies.
