Girlfriend from Hell

Nobody is going to mistake "Girlfriend From Hell" for "War of the Roses", but it is at least for the first half, an entertaining "black comedy". The idea of the devil taking over a shy, prudish girls body, and sending her into a frenzy of lust is pretty good. Unfortunately, once "The Chaser" appears to hunt down the devil, things rapidly deteriorate into "Three Stooges" slapstick. Character development is acceptable, and there is some sharp dialog. The opening and closing theme song is memorable, as is the long lasting image of a Nun firing a rocket launcher. In the end, the strong first half is enough to almost overcome the weak conclusion. - MERK

Evil girlfriends... Nuns with rocket launchers... A guy girls keep trying to kill even though he's undead. Even the food attacking people was an uplifting sight. A true cult classic in the poorist form. I found this movie irrelevant and enlightening.

I have to say I rather enjoyed this mixed-up, satanic, teenage love story. One can really tell the actors are having great fun even though their performances may be a bit lackluster. It has a couple of really hilarious one-liners and some laugh out loud slapstick..(When Maggie is guiding Rocco and he walks straight into the wall was great.)There is also a couple small lines thrown in that kind of make you think a little.. "The devil never learned how to read"...interesting. Throw in a lot of sex humor, profanity, two impressive stunts, and a really cute antagonist in mini-skirt and you've got this slightly over-looked late 80's comedy/horror gem. If you've got some time to waste, give this one a shot!

Yea... yea... I know its not a politically correct "I wanna change the world" movie.Nor...is it written by some Ivytower "I'm smarter than you" elite Hollywood snob writer/producer with a mega budget.Just because a movie is not pushing the latest agenda from some crybaby group doesn't make it trash.I myself found this movie to be very amusing and entertaining.I will admit I have a soft spot for corny, freespirted,funny,and happy go lucky movies from the 80's being I was was in my mid 20s in the late 80's.Unlike the movies that followed in the mid 90's. They are mostly dark and gloomy with dysfunctional prozac taking misfit freaks crying about something or acting like a reject hiphop simpleton punk losers with 50 word vocabularies portraying disgusting anti social behavior.Boys are portrayed as emasculated and girls are portrayed as trashy sluts who are smarter and just as strong as men.How PERVERTED !Good job feminist movement ! Little do you know but your perverted agenda has set the womens movement back!Now young girls are portrayed in movies acting like men !!!They have no self respect for themselves they deface their bodies "Trampstamps" They dress like cheap sluts on the corner. They sleep with whomever and speak like illiterate fools spewing vulgarities.So in other words they act like men.LOL Good job you demented angry fools!!! OK... back to the movie!This movie came out at a time when the political correct straight jacket was being thrust upon us by every intolerant whining group from A to Z. Just another reason why this movie was so funny by making fun of some of these soon to be ridiculous hot button gender issues to come in the loser mid 90's too the present.It's funny and sad that this goof ball movie that was pointing out and making fun of these issues is now reality.Just look at the foolishness on T.V.Women fighting fist to cuff with men.It's absolute perversion!Its the main reason I don't watch TV. I haven't in over five years.Total perverted trash oozing from the demented sewer pipe of Hollywood.OK...My mind needs a break from this insanity!I'm going to pop in Girlfriend from hell and laugh from start to finish.Oh yeah,even the closing credits of this movie are funny as all heck.Check them out sometime.

After buying this movie from a car-boot sale for £2 about 6 years ago, I've watched it so many times and found it even more funnier then next! It's like nothing else out there on the shelves. Maggies hair is hilarious, and Rocco's Girlfiend is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life! She plays the part so darn well (laughing to myself as I write this) And causes such an out burst when Rocco burst a balloon! She's a big part in this movie and I don't think it wouldn't have been the same with out her! If you see this movie on TV, she's the one in the yellow shorts with BIG blond hair! Absolutely HILARIOUS! In fact, I'm gonna go watch it now.... see ya! OHHHH LA LA LA LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAA!

Okay Oscar winning material this is not. But if you like movies that are so bad they're good...this is it. God's hit-man, a geeky looking guy who drinks and likes to womanize, chases the devil throughout eternity. In this movie the devil leaps into a wall flower of a girl named Maggie. The ensuing hilarity which ensues involves rocket launcher toting nuns, women constantly punching their boyfriends, a high speed car ride, and the stealing of men's souls through their...umm...just see the movie. Don't expect witty dialogue...this movie is definitely only for those who like bad movies. I enjoyed it but I've got weird tastes.

this movie has always made me laugh out loud. i make all my friends watch it. some people might not enjoy it but i say anything that has nuns with guns in it is a riot. i own the vhs copy and hope that there will be a dvd version soon i have already wore out my vhs copy from watching it so much.

It's a good question why anybody would even care to start thinking of ever being willing to see something as remotely dope as a title belonging to any piece of trash art such as the medium of movies called 'girlfriend from hell' without wanting to be focused on the proof of the opposite of the evidence of your intelligence given by the choice of availability showing your true character in your preferences certainly and then what can one say if the movie turns out to bhave a nice beat on the music with one of those cool dudes from David Lynch's Twin Peaks coming here to debase himself not really in a bad role but in a negative performance thereof by which we can conclude that it's the fault of the director certainly as anybody could blame the poor guy's position on the chair... Would have been better with Linda Blair as the girlfriend from hell, but apparently she was too busy doing thing with her own crucifix. A film to be seen by the youngsters only and even in that case there are way better ones also more silly than this particular one here: in big letters, avoid if you can.

Firmly stuck somewhere between zero and shoestring budget, this prodution still manages to entertain. That's mainly thanks to a good basic idea and also a good script with some sitcomy situations. Sadly, this did lose a lot on its way to the little screen, thanks to bad actors and sloppy direction/editing. The low budget was not the problem here, someone should remake this script with actors who can deliver witty dialogue, and edit the thing with some comedy timing (the nuns with guns scnene should have been 20sec, max, fir nstance) The 6/10 I rate this are rather generous and take the low budget into account, but the thing IS entertaining - I didn't feel the need to fast-forward more often than three or four times.

Right, well as I sat down in 2022 to watch the 1989 horror comedy "Girlfriend from Hell", I must admit that this was the first time I had ever heard about it. I liked the movie's synopsis, as it sounded like it could be a fun, cheesy archetypical late 1980s teenage movie. So I sat down to watch writer and director Daniel Peterson's 1989 movie. And this was both the first and last time to watch "Girlfriend from Hell". Why? Well, the movie just simply fell short of entertaining me. The storyline felt like a swing and a miss, and there wasn't much fun throughout the course of the story. Actually, I didn't even laugh a single time. And truth be told, then the storyline was rather mundane and boring in comparison to other late 1980s horror comedies. There were two familiar faces in the movie, which were James Karen and Dana Ashbrook, and they weren't exactly the lead actors. So the movie was a gallery of unfamiliar faces on the screen, and that is actually something I enjoy in movies. It was just a shame that the actors and actresses in "Girlfriend from Hell" had next to nothing to work with in terms of script, storyline, characters and dialogue. I am sure that there is an audience out there for a cheese-fest such as "Girlfriend from Hell". My rating of "Girlfriend from Hell" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
