The Last Exorcism (2010) - ***1/2
Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian), a disillusioned evangelical minister, is on his last case of demonic possession. He intends to expose the fraud of exorcisms and brings along two filmmakers to document the ordeal. The film we see is the footage they shot. The faux-documentary horror film has been done many times over, but never this well. This movie is eerie, tense and surprisingly clever (despite the somewhat lazy ending). Special attention should be given to Ashley Bell, who delivers one helluva performance as a teenage girl who may or may not be wrestling with demons.
