The Last Exorcism Review

Day 10 - 13th January
Snacks Eaten - Cottage Pie. yum
Film Number 10 - The Last Exorcism
Directed by Daniel Stamm
Year -2010

This mockumentary horror stars Patrick Fabian as a minister who, with the help of a camera crew, intends to expose the reality of exorcism by creating a fraudalent ritual. Unknown to him, the case picked at random turns out to be more real than he predicted. With production involving Eli Roth, director of horror films such as Cabin Fever and Hostel, this latest movie of its genre holds it own.
As expected, the majority of the acting ability has to fall on the possessed victim, in this case Ashley Bell. Her progressive deterioration is very believable and subtly portrayed without the shock value of excessive gore. In ways similar to The Blair Witch Project, we experience every incident through them, unaware of the next surprise. Fabian is convincing as the evangelical minister, as is the documentary crew with him. Thoroughly enjoyable with some true to fashion terrifying moments.

This is cool, I like it. I like it a lot. The next film is.......Inglorious Basterds!!!!! yay!!! another absolute favourite. Now sod off and stop wishing I was writing more blogs, I know I'm so exciting. Oh and yes the connection is pretty simple......
