Let's be realistic.

It is a performances centric movie

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This movie so not scary. 5.6 is just overrating it. This movie has a very bad story line. The ending is is just awful. It is supposed to scary. But is not. It is just cheesy and overrated. It the story of a single father who has daughter that possessed by a demon. So he hires an exorcist to get ride of it. Oops it turns out he a fake. It hate this movie. I do not no why people are scared of it. It could not scary an eight year old. It so not scary. It has got to be one of the worst horror movies ever. Come to think of it the sequel is worst. But still before The last exorcism par II came out this was the worst horror movie ever.

If you ARE a fan of exorcism movies and movies like the Blair Witch Project or even horror movies in general, The Last Exorcism is a good watch to satisfy your boredom and keep you entertained for an hour and a half, especially if you understand and like the construct of "sluggish build up" and if you have a few extra bucks that you're looking to spend.If your looking for a horror movie that will revive the horror genre for our time, this isn't it. But the film isn't trying to be the next big name in horror, so my rating is based off of the intentions of the film itself. Overall, the movie did it's job in being mildly original, having great acting (considering that this is in fact a lower-budget horror movie), in staying true to the genre, and in delivering an engaging story.

With a film crew following his last days in the church, a skeptical preacher is called out to perform an exorcism on a remote farm and finds a far greater evil than he ever imagined and must summon all his faith and courage to combat the evil.This was an enjoyable if still somewhat problematic entry. One of it's biggest attributes is the fact that the shaking-camera footage is kept to a minimum throughout here despite the fact that this one is based around the found-footage concept which here is allowed to really showcase the action on-screen. Granted, it might not be a lot but there's still the point of this one keeping us really centered on the action and how enjoyable it is to be able to see what's going on without the blurring images and out-of-focus shots that typically render a lot of these types of films moot. Here, we get to see these all pretty much cleanly which enables the few action scenes to come off rather nicely in the second half where the race to get her out of the house before the father shows up and the finale's Satanic ceremony which is quite a bit of fun throughout the devilish incarnations and action throughout. That is certainly helped along by the different exorcism attempts earlier on where the inhuman actions and responses given to her condition really cement the idea of something out-of-the-ordinary going on and his obliviousness to it all in the face of his documentary attempt makes for some chilling times by exploiting the concept rather nicely. Still, these here don't really allow this one to truly overcome it's few flaws, mainly in the criminal lack of activity that this one undergoes in the middle portions of the film. It really has such little action that it throws in several outside characters merely to try to have some semblance of characters because it doesn't have much of a plot to string that kind of action off of, and leaving these scenes to consist of either endless wandering around the house doing nothing or spouting off inane backstories to keep up with the hoax of what he's accomplishing and neither of these are all that effective at making this one enjoyable. Likewise, the other big flaw here is the criminally underwhelming exorcism scenes that take place here, most notably the second one which is supposedly the true exorcism. The first one is for show and generally supposed to be weak, yet the main one here is really weak and not all that exciting, generally taking up space in the film with it's lack of seriousness and overall underwhelming results. These issues here do hold this one back though it is quite enjoyable nonetheless.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.

The Pastor took a different view to a serious problem .... but when he realised the seriousness it was already over .. Shows how important the role of a Pastor is .. It is important to understand Church and Pastors are there to guide and help us, but it is our duty to be watchful and know the rotten eggs out there! Just because your Pastor says something that is not right, you don't need to follow it ... Anyone can be corrupt in the end days and this movie is a very raw and straightforward testimony for that brutal fact! Many think getting inside a church is the end of a problem related to the dark force, the solution is within ... Faith! Not outside ... find it and fight it with Him (God) by your side!
