Quick Answer

What is Teenage Exorcist about?

Teenage Exorcist is a 1991 American comedy-horror film directed by Grant Austin Waldman about a grad student who becomes possessed by demons in a haunted house.

Programmer's Pick

Only in the Scream Queen universe do demonic possession and pizza delivery cross paths so seamlessly. Teenage Exorcist is as much about gags and latex as it is about grad school and the dark arts. If leather, chainsaws, and a soundtrack with a rock theme song are your thing, the basement is calling.

Overview

Teenage Exorcist delivers a gleeful blend of horror and parody as Diane, a straitlaced graduate student, moves into a suspiciously cheap old mansion. Her plans for a quiet academic life are quickly derailed when a very real demon, lurking in the basement, leads to her possession by the home’s unquiet spirits. Diane transforms from bookworm to leather-clad, chainsaw-wielding succubus, terrorizing her visiting family and boyfriend. Desperate, her loved ones enlist the help of Father McFerrin, a priest whose attempts at exorcism go awry in the most ridiculous way possible. Laden with genre nods, outrageous sight gags, and B-movie energy, the film is a campy send-up of supernatural horror with a distinctly psychotronic spin.
