The Last Exorcism makes first-rate use of religious doubt and religious extremism to concoct a novel horror-thriller clever enough to seduce unbelievers while satisfying the bloodlust of its congregation/fanbase.
Full reviewHorror movie about a troubled evangelical minister, who agrees to let his last exorcism be filmed by a documentary crew. From producer Eli Roth (Hostel).
When he arrives on the rural Louisiana farm of an earnest fundamentalist, the Reverend Cotton Marcus expects to perform just another routine 'exorcism' on a disturbed religious fanatic – in this case, the farmer's teenage daughter. Buckling under the weight of his conscience after years of parting desperate believers with their money, Cotton and his crew plan to film a confessionary documentary of this, his last exorcism. Upon arriving at the already blood drenched family farm, it is soon clear that nothing could have prepared him for the true evil he encounters there.
