It's been some time since Father Jebedaiah Mayii exorcised the Devil from little Nancy Aglet, who is now grown up with a husband and two children of her own. But the prince of darkness wants to go a second round and has returned to repossess her! With Father Mayii unwilling to help, Father Luke Brophy tries his best to help Nancy, even when TV's Ernest Weller plans to air the exorcism live on TV.
Repossessed is a late-80s/early-90s spoof of The Exorcist starring Linda Blair (reprising her iconic role) and Leslie Nielsen in full Naked Gun mode. The plot is thin even by parody standards, stringing together gags with minimal narrative cohesion. Acting is broad and campy by design, with Nielsen doing his deadpan shtick competently but the rest of the cast largely going through motions. Cinematography is functional TV-movie level work with no visual ambition. The novelty earns a modest bump for the meta-casting of Blair spoofing her own breakout role and the live-TV exorcism angle, which gives it a slightly distinctive hook within the spoof genre — though the execution is uneven. The ending fizzles out in the fashion typical of these scatter-shot comedies. Overall a forgettable but harmless genre spoof that coasts on its central concept.
