Reviews:
‘I’ll say this for The Disco Exorcist: it delivers what it promises—retro-Seventies raunch, horror, and a bit of comedy. Though the kind of attention to historical detail might not be to everyone’s taste (especially since a lot of people seem to be jumping on that grindhouse bandwagon), The Disco Exorcist is worth a rental for Griffin fans, fans of Troma-style pics, and low-budget horror-comedies in general.’ DVD Verdict
‘If you’re not bothered by the nonstop sex and rampant drug use (so basically, if you have a sense of humor), you’ll probably get a kick out of this movie. At a scant 80 minutes, you could certainly do worse. And ten points to the funky disco remix of The Exorcist’s Tubular Bells theme music!’ HorrorTalk
