My Review of The Last Exorcism


    So I just saw The Last Exorcism and I thought it was good; not the complete the bomb, but good.

    I will give you my views in bullet point style (SPOILERS AHEAD):
    • The film gave us a great intro to Rev. Cotton (the actor is really cute) and his views on preaching and exorcism.
    • The slow burn of the movie worked really well.
    • The actress who played Nell, was great.
    • Nell's brother was creep as Hell.
    • The book of Exorcism was a great piece in the movie. I wish there was more info about it and how Cotton's family got a hold the rare book.
    • The reason why the "exorcism" was filmed could have fleshed out more.
    • The filming of Cotton's work was similar to The Blair Witch Project.
    • In fact, this film felt like The Blair Witch Project/Paranormal Activity/Rosemary's Baby.
    • The "fright moments" felt natural and not forced.
    • I'm not sure why Nell was "chosen" and what truly possessed her. And if she was carrying a demon, who impregnated her?
    • The father was very convincing. I really felt sorry for him.
    • Was she really possessed? She was pregnant with a demon, does that make her possessed too?
    • The use of Nell's disfigurements were cool, but a little cliche.
    • The ending felt rushed; there wasn't any rhyme to reason to it. Basically, it ended like The Blair Witch Project and that kind of killed it for me.
    • The actors in the movie were great, very wise choices.
    • The ending... I can't express how I wished for a better ending.
    Again, I think it's a good movie. Feel free to check it out.Source URL: https://americanendeavor.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-review-of-last-exorcism.html
