I’m going to say just four words that’ll strike a weird sort of comedic terror into your very soul. Those four words?
Father-Exorcist Leslie Nielsen.
You feel that? Yeah, I know—I’m scared too. But that’s what we’re looking at thanks to Lions Gate’s Lost Collection title Repossessed.
Basically, Repossessed takes a poor little girl named Nancy (an analogue of Regan from The Exorcist) and subjects her to demon possession. Leslie Nielsen serves as the exorcist this time as Father Mayii (Father, may I. get it?), courtesy of the unlikely-named church of Our Lady of the Blinding Vision, who ejects the demon from Nancy’s soul in a fierce battle. The demon swears revenge as it leaves.
Several years later, Nancy’s all grown up, with children, and a love of split pea soup. But it may not be the demon that’s the bad guy in this one—there’s a pair of televangelists (Ernest and Fanny Rae Weller, an almost too-clear analogue of Jim and Tammy Fae Bakker) who are looking to cash in on exorcisms, and find themselves taking on Nancy’s demon. Who will come out ahead in this battle for eternity: the demon, the money-grubbing televangelists or the valiant non-child-molesting Catholic father?
