03.06.06Alamo Downtown AKA The Black Exorcist. You know, with the new "genre" field on this site, I wanted to use the more empowered "soul cinema" label for these types of movies but this one really belongs more in Blaxploitation... you can't get much more exploitative than this... it's basically the Exorcist, even to the point of having a demon unleashed in some exotic locale before joining our main characters in their suburban home, but with black folks. That's not to mean it wasn't enjoyable with the possessed Abby becoming a superslut size queen and effortlessly throwing hospital staff to and fro but for the most part it's just The Exorcist on a lower budget with people saying "right on" instead of "ok."
