Just when you might have been wondering what happened to those light, good-spirited teen comedies from the 80s (You know, the ones that used to play on USA Up All Night.), Todd Livingston resurrects the genre and gives it a contemporary face-lift. Produced on a tiny budget with an unknown but likable cast, the film is pleasantly entertaining. Nothing too deep here. Just a fun story with some clever dialog about a schlep running for class president who gets possessed by a demon from a website. After spouting predictions of mankind's doom in arcane language and copious projectile vomiting, he is ultimately exorcised and, of course, gets a girlfriend. Writer/director Livingston does a humorous turn as the leather-clad non-denominational exorcist. All in all, this movie is a nice twist on a genre that's so old, it might become new again.
