    • Trivia
      Originally planned to be called "Babysitter From Hell", in which Maggie would become possessed by the devil and terrorize the children she was babysitting. This was later changed to "Girlfriend From Hell", which would allow more adult themes and have more grown up actors working full time.
    • Goofs
      Maggie's bottle of red wine disappears between shots whilst walking over to Teddy sat on the couch at the party.
    • Quotes

      Maggie: Well, I suppose I should go hunt them down one by one and kill them - God, this is getting so boring!

    First half is good "black comedy"..... second half is weak "slapstick" .......
    Nobody is going to mistake "Girlfriend From Hell" for "War of the Roses", but it is at least for the first half, an entertaining "black comedy". The idea of the devil taking over a shy, prudish girls body, and sending her into a frenzy of lust is pretty good. Unfortunately, once "The Chaser" appears to hunt down the devil, things rapidly deteriorate into "Three Stooges" slapstick. Character development is acceptable, and there is some sharp dialog. The opening and closing theme song is memorable, as is the long lasting image of a Nun firing a rocket launcher. In the end, the strong first half is enough to almost overcome the weak conclusion. - MERK
