The Last Exorcism

[superhero]

What a load of rubbish! Whoever wrote it watched far too many films like Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch. The main problem it was all talk and hardly any scary moments. It must have been the least scary movie I've seen in a long while, I can imagine people p*ying for it asking for their money back. Looking at the movie poster, I expected some Hollywood Budget horror film, but this was so low budget and that home documentary look just doesnt feel new anymore. The whole of the 1st hour was all talk and there were just 2 scary moments in the final 20 minutes. Yes the film was only 1hr 20 mins long roughly.
The ending....aww...the ending...everyone was like "What?????". Note to producers/directors, please stop copying Blair Witch, paranormal etc. 1/10 don't waste your time even watching this on TV! You've been warned.

5 youngish girls left after about 15 mins.

They were settling down to watch The Switch! Either the staff misdirected them to the wrong screen or they screwed up. If it took them 15mins to leave then I siuspect the latter.

LOL!

i am with superhero this was a terrible film. i want my time back! don't watch this even if it comes up on terrestrial tv!

it not even "ooh it in such a bad 'b' movie style i am enjoying it". it is simply boring boring, with too much talking and not enough story.

It was so low budget, I could have made it with a home movie camera in a week or two.

This film actually tried to make me vomit, I realised in time that it was the severe camera shake that was doing it which is why I was forced to shut my eyes. I suffer from motion sickness so camera shake for extended periods is guaranteed to make me projectile vomit. Then again the story was total crap so it could have been my subconcious trying to ask why I was even there watching it.

It was ok. This has major points for bashing a cat in with the camera (i thought it was pretty cool). But yeah. Started off far too slowly and wasnt gripping. Alot of unneeded backstory that didnt help the film or the character at all. But once it picked up the atmospheric feel drew me in. But yeah, that was short lived and the ending just reeked of "Oooh make it exciting", but that failed and it ended up being like: "Huh, ok".

Kind of disappointing as i saw it with 2 friends at Enfield and i was taking them for they're first free film (today was the only day they were free for ages). But they said it was alright. Atleast they didnt feel the need to bash me over the head for wasting they're time.

6/10

Makes me question their sanity if they could confuse The Last Exorcism with The Switch...

Imagine if that woman in the news recently did that to the cat instead of throwing it in the bin.......hmmm

I'm a sheep, what a whole loada...actually I really enjoyed it!!! What was good about it was the actor who played the reverend, he was very charismatic and carried the whole movie. For his performance, it was worth seeing. In fact the other actors were good too. And I thought the story was pretty cool. A kind of twist to the old Exorcist movies. I enjoyed the dialogue and narrative, its just the film wasnt in the least bit frightening. And I gues that unfortunately does defeat the whole point of its target audience so I can understand why most people will hate this and give it a thumbs down.

This film however, was a fusion of blatantly copying techniques (literally) used in Sixth Sense, Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity, Cloverfield, and Wickerman. If you seen those films, you will know right away the moments I'm talking about. Problem is, often the techniques were deployed very poorly. What should have been jump out of our seats moments, turned into a yeah ok that was intersting response.

But I'm fine with copycats, as long as they can deliver an entertaining movie on the whole and here they've done that until 10mins before the end. In fact. I would have give this movie an enjoyable 7/10 if it ended 10 mins before. To me it was a great end, and I would have been pretty satisfied with it. But unfortunately, the filmakers thought they want their audience want a spectacular over the top finale. And for that, they lose a point.

So 6/10 for the whole film. But 7/10 if you leave the cinema 10 minutes before the end!

Wow!! Haha...thanks for that! I was so sad that we missed it, although we did get thai for dinner to make up for it, so I'm stuffed and, therefore, a happy bunny. Made even happier now that I know the film was crap (omg, I wasn't expecting it to be puke-inducing-coverfield-blairwitch-style).

I think I should say a big....WHEWWWWWWWWW!
