Storyline

It's been some time since Father Jebedaiah Mayii exorcised the devil from little Nancy Aglet, but now Nancy has grown up and has a family, the demon returns and repossesses Nancy. 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.

User Reviews

One Devil of a Spoof!

Okay, so this isn't the best of spoof comedies. But I did enjoy it! It seems that Leslie Nielsen was born to make a fool of himself in movies like this. And Linda Blair can poke fun at the role that put her into the spotlight. There are better comedies, but this one is still good for a few laughs.
