What Color Trench Coat To Buy

The final exorcism


Another film about exorcism? Honestly, against "The Exorcist" was no objection, also called "The Haunting" or "An American Haunting" was quite good movies. But one wonders if the genre is not pushed slowly. What else is there to exhaust, except maybe the effects?

"The last exorcism" is reminiscent stylistically very beginning of "The Blair Witch Project", although it of course not as clever advertising campaign has been given. filmed in the style of a documentary, we follow the Reverend Marcus Cotton, who preaches since his childhood. Due to personal Circumstances he falls into a crisis of faith, then even when the Vatican opened an exorcist Academy, will he finally be colorful. Together with a camera crew, he sets out for the call for help to family Sweetzer, whose daughter is said to be possessed by a demon Nell. But his intention is not, this "demon" to drive out - rather, he wants to debunk the help of the exorcisms as Scharlatanei illusions. Or, put another way, show the placebo effect through faith. This he does, and sees his task as done - to him and the team Nell 5 miles to a motel in this and so prejudicial appears distraught in his room. The history yet seems to be more than originally suspected.

reminds As mentioned in the film very well-known to the "Blair Witch Project", without being lurid, but already beginning. The film develops slowly and builds up a successful atmosphere in which the viewer startled even one or two times. Really great cinema but it is not, but this is largely due to the still weak story. Although it has no length in the sense, but it is outrageous for the very good beginning to after all. The actors do not pull the film out of his misery, they are good but not outstanding. Positive is that the sound effects are used very consistent.

All in all, this floating piece of work in the fairway with his big brothers, but stays barely above water, and especially the end (which I will not be revealed here) breaks his neck. But this is only my perception and as always, everyone should do his own image. Interesting and he is always recommended for a scary movie night.

3.5 / 5 points
