Plot: The Reverend Cotton Marcus had performed more exorcisms than he could remember before he visited the Louisiana farm of Louis Sweetzer. That would be a day he wouldn’t soon forget. The last person Lious Sweetzer ever thought he would invite to his farm was an exorcist. But his young daughter Nell had been acting so strange. He could think of no other explanation for her behavior than possession by demons. But many long years of attending to those with questionable spiritual infestations has left Cotton a broken man. The faith he once proudly held up as a sheild against evil had deserted him long ago.

This day has brought Reverend Marcus to the Sweetzers farm where he plans to film a documentary of what he hopes to be his final exorcism. All of his past experience could not begin to prepare him for the terror that lay within. But upon arriving at the already blood drenched family farm, it was soon clear that nothing could have prepared him for the true evil he would encounter there. The Reverend must call upon a near-empty well of faith to protect Nell, his film crew and ultimately himself.

Review:There are several topics which are popular for producers to make horror movies. One of these topics is definitely exorcism. Yes, there are plenty of movies featuring a minister who tries to help victims to drive out devils from their bodies and there would be accidents in the process so that there are horrible scenes to make you scream.

But in The Last Exorcism, there are some differences. This movie is told from a minister’s perspective. He performed years of exorcism and he decided to take a documentary to record his last exorcism. And in this process, he exposed some frauds that he had made in ministry. He tried to help a farmer’s daughter but he encountered accidents in helping that girl to drive out devils.

For most of the horror movies, the main objective that producers and directors try very hard to fulfill is to scare you. If they could make you scream and cry, they would think that this movie is quite successful. However, some directors would not just be satisfied by this. They would try their very best to deliver some messages to the audience. And The Last Exorcism is one of these movies.

In this movie, the director would like to tell you that ‘if you believe in God, you have to believe in Devil as well’. This is the tagline of this movie. Why is that so? It is hard to tell here because if you know the ending or the detailed plot in this article you may lose your interest in watching that movie because watching horror movies with a known plot would not be so scaring.

Even though The Last Exorcism is using traditional idea of horror movies, improvements were made and the plot was actually quite unique. If you search online about this movie, you would also find that this movie has participated in several Film Festivals in the world and comments from audiences in those festivals were good indeed.

This movie would not be the best movie because basic idea was not really original. However, we should appreciate the work of directors and the cast in creating a sense of horror throughout the movie. Even though the minister was asking a boy for direction, you would also think that something horrible may happen.

This sense of horror is something which could keep audience watching that movie. For some movies, they lack this kind of sense but for this upcoming movie, there is and there is a strong sense of horror when the daughter of farmer suddenly becomes crazy in some occasions.

To conclude, this movie is worth watching if you love to challenge your sensation. If you want to check your ability of tolerating scary things, you could watch this movie. For those who think that they would not scream even when they are watching horror movies, this movie may break their words. And this is the truth for some people actually. Therefore, go and enjoy if you love horror movies.
