The Last Exorcism

2 out of 5 Stars



When Reverend Cotton decides to do one final exorcism to expose them as a fraud he invites a documentary crew along to tape it. Along the way he begins to find things he doesn't expect and isn't prepared for. What seems like it could be an interesting story ends up being slow and uninteresting. I've never liked the documentary style film making much but I feel it could be interesting though it would be difficult to make happen. This is just another addition to this style and it doesn't pull out well. Although the acting is quite good, the rest of the film is not. It's interesting and entertaining when it shows how the reverend is making things happen in the exorcism but beyond that nothing really happens. We sit through over an hour of the film with practically nothing happening. When something finally does it might be interesting but also very short. Then by the time things really start to heat up and get interesting the film ends. Overall the film is more of a bore than anything. It's certainly not scary and only interesting for the fact of seeing what happens behind a fake exorcism. If liked Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch, or similar movies you'll like this most likely. Either way, the ending is terrible.
