Purely Joyful Movie!
Best movie of this year hands down!
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
View MoreFilmed in a way as if this is a documentary containing 'archive material' this movie was something you don't see everyday! That was a nice surprise and especially refreshing within the subject of supernatural movies about possession etc. Actors seem to move and act quite naturally and a fun fact is that most actors have the same First name as in real life. The effects are believable. The ending was quite the same as in 'Wake Wood' which was a bit of a letdown and the ending seems to have been rushed to completion, but I'm very fond of this movie nevertheless!I recommend this movie very much. Eli Roth was involved and it seems that Mr. Roth is becoming quite a name within the horror genre :-)
View MoreIf you ARE a fan of exorcism movies and movies like the Blair Witch Project or even horror movies in general, The Last Exorcism is a good watch to satisfy your boredom and keep you entertained for an hour and a half, especially if you understand and like the construct of "sluggish build up" and if you have a few extra bucks that you're looking to spend.If your looking for a horror movie that will revive the horror genre for our time, this isn't it. But the film isn't trying to be the next big name in horror, so my rating is based off of the intentions of the film itself. Overall, the movie did it's job in being mildly original, having great acting (considering that this is in fact a lower-budget horror movie), in staying true to the genre, and in delivering an engaging story.
View MoreScraping the bottom of the barrel is how I would describe this film. I am not one that writes a bad reviews for a movie but this one is awful. A terrible mockumentary - definitely not a documentary.I watched the first 5 minutes or so of this movie and was appalled at what I saw. I could not even watch it long enough to get a good laugh out of it. The opening scenes were too fake - I felt as if I could have done a much better job at filming and acting than what I saw in this movie (and I do not say that about 99% of the movies I watch only about 1% I will say this about and The Last Exorcism is in that 1%).I fast forwarded through the movie just to see if I thought it would get better but, alas, I only saw more of the same terrible acting and filming that was in the beginning. "OK, time to see this ending that I've heard others talk about" I said to myself -- what I saw was just stupid.I cannot even get a laugh out of this film much less a good scare.1/10
View MoreOkay, as any horror fan knows, 'found footage' films are 'in' right about now. It seems anyone can run round shaking a camera for ninety minutes and call the result a 'found footage' horror film. The Last Exorcism is one of these 'found footage' films. This time a camera crew follows an exorcist on a job and well, if you've ever seen (a) a found footage film or (b) and exorcism film, then you'll know what to expect.And you get just that. Some might say that that's a bad thing as everything is pretty predictable (and they're probably be right – there's nothing really that new here to see). However, it's not as terrible as most found footage films. The characters are believable and they don't make a hundred and one stupid decisions (maybe one or two, here and there, but that's still less than your average star of a horror movie), so the acting remains good and the camera not too wobbly.Of course the story descends into what you'd probably expect as the team get more than they bargain for.I won't say that anything here is a classic, so it's really down to whether you can be bothered sitting through – yet another – found footage film, combined with yet one more exorcism film. If you decide to give it a go, be gentle – like I say it's no masterpiece, but watchable enough.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
