Repossessed
Repossessed is a 1990 American comedy horror film written and directed by Bob Logan, and starring Linda Blair, Leslie Nielsen, Ned Beatty, and Anthony Starke. A parody of The Exorcist (1973), in which Blair had previously starred, the film follows a woman who becomes possessed for the second time in her life while viewing a prosperity gospel television program. The film features numerous gags based on The Exorcist, such as the green-vomit and head-spinning scenes, and real-life events such as the televangelist scandals of the 1980s.
Plot
In 1973, Father Jedediah Mayii casts out the devil from the body of young Nancy Aglet. In 1990, Nancy's body is possessed once again, while watching The Ernest and Fanny Miracle Hour, a prosperity gospel broadcast by two hucksters.
