Review of The Last Exorcism (2010) by Kendall I — 26 May 2011
A little bit of Halloween-popcorn entertainment for ya.
PLOT:Reverend Cotton Marcus has been doing exorcisms for several years, but he's never really believed in them He just makes the person THINK they're cured and it ends up that they are. He gets a letter from Nell Sweetzer that says she's possessed. Cotton Marcus and his crew head over to the farm where they live to perform this fake exorcism, his LAST fake exorcism, for he doesn't know what's REALLY in store. The plot's not half bad, but it's not executed as well as I think it could've been. Nice attempt though! Especially for a horror mockumentary.
ACTING:Sucky and mediocre.Cotton's actor played the part with full disinterest, like it was only for money. Basically, it was wooden. Nell's actress played the part pretty nicely-it was just the movie that kept her from releasing her FULL potential.
SCORE:With the moments it had appeared, it was great. A great horror score.
EFFECTS:Little until the end. What effects they used were very realistic.
OTHER CONTENT:This movie was boring for the whole first half, but when the shocks came around they were pretty neat. the only thing that kept me from rating this movie down, was its kick-ass ending. Most people say it's too strange and bizarre, but I say it's a delightful twist with great effects and an unbelievable twist. The ending of "Blair Witch" on crack, basically.
OVERALL,an ok horror mockumentary with a decent plot, mostly poor acting, nice effects, and a great ending that ties the whole movie together.
