Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

paulclaassen The deliberate blurring and out of focus effects seemed forced to make them believable as found footage film. Yet, they had an excellent quality camera, so it is not believable. For someone owning such an expensive camera they sure do film like an amateur, and that was a bit annoying.The problem I have with found footage films is that you always know the fate of the characters beforehand: they're going to die. Yes, to put it bluntly. Otherwise it wouldn't serve a purpose being found footage, would it? Here it is even predicted how they will die, and sure enough they die exactly as predicted, so there were very little surprises.Patrick Fabian plays Reverend Cotton Marcus, who has lost most of his faith and belief in the church, and is now an exorcism fraudster. Showing his tricks upfront was effective and made it more interesting when things really started getting out of hand, and beyond his control. The acting in general was very good, but especially Ashley Bell as the possessed girl.

Andy Van Scoyoc I had such high hopes for this movie...and no...I wasn't expecting horror; at all.What I was expecting, was something grand...and what I got was disdainfully disappointing.The movie started out, bland, but good and I was thinking, okay...this charlatan is going to pull one too many frauds and get what's coming to him. He'll get a real possessed person, the demons will give him more than he bargained for, and I'll laugh, hysterically, because TV evangelists and fake preachers just out for money (which is far too many) are depraved.What I got was a fairly decent movie, with a ridiculous ending.I went from being hopeful at some scum getting his butt supernaturally kicked...to a bunch of people, lead by some old coot, playing dress up.Robes? Really? If I came upon a scene like that, first thing I'd do is make sure it's not Halloween, second, make sure it's not a movie set and...finally...if both of those scenarios weren't the case, I'd laugh... hysterically.Robes and all that junk are nothing but pomp and show, and no one serious, is going to play dress up dressed like Merlin and his magical court. Waste...waste...waste...

Python Hyena The Last Exorcism (2010): Daniel Stamm / Cast: Patrick Fabian, Ashley Bell, Iris Bahr, Louis Herthum, Caleb Landry Jones: Independent horror film in the tradition of The Blair Witch Project. This one regards a form of spirituality that was heavily present in the Bible but since then science and doctrine has connected other reasons for such behaviour. Patrick Fabian plays Cotton, a preacher after his father whose sermons are enthusiastic showcase. Accompanied by his producer and cameraman he ventures to a remote farm to answer a call regarding a teenage girl and several unexplained slaughtered animals. Convinced that his faith is for show, Cotton displays props for an exorcism that convinces everyone accept for an aggressive teenage male named Caleb whose hatred for preachers stemmed from his mother's death. Director Daniel Stamm is backed with a convincing low budget production that adds to the film's eerie affect. Fabian is hilarious in his bemusement with his subject's beliefs in supernatural elements but he soon is unable to explain what is not a prop from his kit. Iris Bahr is the voice of reason as his producer. Ashley Bell plays the victim who starts out bright eyed and happy but eventually becomes a menacing possessed creature twisted out of proportion. Louis Herthum plays her father under speculation due to past tragedies and his willingness to use a shotgun if needed. Caleb Landry Jones plays a good sadistic young brat with a devious grin. The ending is wayward and foolish but until that point it is an intriguing view of a spirituality that was thought long past. Score: 8 / 10

mitchw-61-305942 I watched this movie by myself, at home, in the dark at 9:00pm on July 21st, 2014. It all seemed very familiar to me. I could have sworn I'd seen the film before because of the entire beginning, albeit very confused if I had. I didn't remember it being documentary-styled. I did remember the reverends motive for his documentary (which is depressing as hell for a horror flick, right? If that's the plot, where's the horror?). My story ends here - I had seen the beginning ... and never watched anything further or fell asleep.So I got to watch the story build-up (twice) and my first impression of something scary is about mid-way through the film at a hotel, and I was like "phew!" ... maybe this won't be nothing. I don't mind character build-up at all. I encourage it very much. The realism was FANTASTIC. I do not know of this actress who plays Nell. No sets. No Hollywood. I couldn't tell if they used computer graphics which was a solid plus. I read the actress playing Nell performed the contortions herself so maybe not, except for the end, unless they used kerosene (ha ha).I can't say much about my theories, because I don't want to give out spoilers, but I do have some about her brother and the ending. I believe it ended ambiguously. I read some comments on here and people have different perspectives about what was actually going on there, does that make it ambiguous or is it only ambiguous if that was the intention? Who cares? Heart racing sh!t for me. I believe in Satan! I believe in Satan! Does that make it more scary for me? I actually DoN't believe in Satan. Not in a demonic possession-way. I will say that it questions my doubt. Nicely played.I was frightened and entertained. I've got a HUGE collection of horror films and regularly rent them. I think that says something to the quality of this film, for me anyway. The ending was unexpected which is great. Whether it went "too far" supernaturally, well, yes and no. I'm glad it was unexpected. I will settle for 'no'.The actors did a great job. I don't know who the camera-man was played by, perhaps my only criticism ... no, I should say disbelief, is that he manages to hold the camera through everything he witnesses cause I would drop the F**K** and run the other way till my legs fell off.Oh, and I just watched the second one. Not sure if it's because I turned the light on or what but it's not comparable to the first one at all (IMO). See it, don't see. Whatever.Cheers!
