“A troubled evangelical minister, Reverend Cotton Marcus (played by Patrick Fabian) agrees to let his last exorcism be filmed by a documentary crew.”
Director Daniel Stamm stays true to the movies’ documentary style viewing. If you like watching first person in-your-face movies then you may be entertained by this one. I liked how the preacher set out to expose exorcisms for being fraudulent attempts made by the church in order to keep its flock in line. I liked his reasons for becoming a crusader for truth and I enjoyed how when faced with the girl’s unusual behavior, he tried to steer her father into getting the girl medical (mental) help. As I understand it, in order for you to be able to cast out demons, you must be a believer and this preacher sure wasn’t.
Now, I didn’t like the underlying explanation that was given for the girl’s condition near the end of the movie. Also, even though I found the twist at the end to be interesting, it had a low believability factor for me.
Bottom line: if you like horror and documentaries, you should give this one a look, but if you’re looking for something with more substance, wait for it to hit cable TV.
Knight Chills gives THE LAST EXORCISM 2 1/2 kills out of a possible 5.
See you on the dark side.

ReplyDeleteI recently saw Evil Dead the musical. Not scary, but hysterical. Need to get my clothes dry cleaned because of the blood spatter.
