Teenage Exorcist
USA
1991. Director: Austin Waldman
Cast: Brinke Stevens, Eddie Deezen, Jay Richardson, Elena Sahagun
Teenage Exorcist is the kind of film
people hate. It doesn't take itself serious for a second, it doesn't
even try to be good. "If the pizza isn't here in 20 minutes or less...
his soul is ours for free". Perhaps I shouldn't admit it, but damn I
enjoyed it the first time I saw it and I enjoyed it when I saw it again
just now. After all, it's just film, built for entertainment, don't
think too much about it. College student Brinke Stevens moves into a
big house she have just bought from nutcase Michael Berryman. But the
house is evil and soon poor Brinke is possessed by demons and transformed
into a wicked sex bomb, smoking and drinking and whispering treacherous
lines like "There's so many pleasures I've denied myself up until now".
A priest is called in by Brinke's sister, but he can't do much so he
decides to call The Romano Exorcist Centre for further guidance. Only
he dials the wrong number and instead he gets pizza deliveryman Eddie
Deezen. For those who aren't familiar with Deezen (lucky you) he looks
like a cartoon and speaks with a very peculiar high-pitch voice. Okey,
at least that's more scary than anything in The Exorcist 2.
The film is credited to some Austin Waldman guy, but I think it's just another Fred Olen Ray alias. And even if it isn't, it doesn't matter. Olen Ray produced it and co-wrote it (with star Brinke) and it looks like every other Olen Ray film from the period, including a cast of familiar faces. The soundtrack sounds like a homemade John Carpenter rip-off. Everything's cheaper than it looks, and it all looks cheap. There's not too much nudity in it, though, only one shower scene, but it has Brinke Stevens in sexy party dress and with a chainsaw and sometimes that's all it takes.
