How it feels

A woman becomes possessed again while watching a televangelist show. Parodying The Exorcist, the film uses slapstick and satire to make fun of the original movie and real life religious scandals.

What happens

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 Nancy Aglet, 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.
