The Last Exorcism


A preacher, Reverend Cotton Marcus who makes unsuspecting people part with their money by performing mock exorcisms is on his way to perform what would be his last “exorcism” along with a documentary crew to document his false exorcisms and make the world aware of his frauds. But when he gets to the rural Louisiana farm of Louis Sweetzer, he hasn’t a clue as to what he might be getting into. Thinking of just playing his usual routine exorcism ploy he finds that the daughter, Nell Sweetzer is really possessed by the devil. The role of Reverend Cotton Marcus played by Patrick Fabian is that of a person looking to right all his wrongs but finds himself in a position that makes it a matter of life or death.

The movie is shot in mock-documentary style and is nothing like the trailers promised it would be. All the best shots have been used in the trailer which makes them feel old when seen in the movie and do not provide the necessary shock to the viewer as they would have had they not been used in the trailer. Ashley Bell, playing Nell Sweetzer, does a stellar job and makes the audience really feel for the poor possessed girl.the movie provides the necessary chills but could have been better. Give it a watch.
