TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

paulclaassen Oh, look, Nell is back for another round of possession. Jeez, how many false scares can you cram into one movie? There was a lot going on here without anything happening. It was like a bunch of ideas put together, but did not form a concrete plot or story. It felt like it was going in circles. This was a completely unnecessary sequel. There are some nice effects during the climax, but I'm afraid I've lost interest by then.

GL84 Hoping to move on with her life, a young woman finds that the demonic possession that had previously plagued her has returned and threatened to destroy more than what happened last time around, forcing her into a battle for her soul.This was quite an enjoyable and really entertaining effort that has a lot going for it. One of it's better efforts is the fact that this one really manages to work the demon possession as something to be feared and dealt with in this, as the amount of time spent here is where this one really works out nicely. Not only is this something that torments her as she tries to go about her daily life, it also shows signs of doing this in her personal life as the new job and life among the rest of the girls in the halfway house are certainly enough for this one to get some chilling moments in by managing to infuse numerous amounts of demonic whispers and flash visions that interrupt her attempts to move on which are quite nice at building this atmosphere of her being tormented and targeted quite well throughout here. Likewise, the personal relationships including her boyfriend and those around her manage to come under attack with a slew of scenes including her being psychologically assaulted and levitating in the middle of the room which is where this all scores rather nicely by throwing these sections together to effectively showcase the intent of the possession throughout here. That leads into the film's biggest plus, which is the rather enjoyable exorcism scene here. Rather than relying on the traditional Christian methodologies that have been done dozens of times over here, the novel approach of a voodoo ceremony to accomplish the same thing makes this seem a lot more creative and unique than it would be without the tactic which also results in this one making for some exciting action as well to really go all-out in this one. There's not a lot to dislike here, though they are pretty heavy as this one really has a problem wandering around in the beginning without really getting anything accomplished. The film has a problem with variety as this resorts to continuous use of whispers and voices for its scares yet doesn't do much else to really utilize its' scares so this one really tends to drag on in the first half with a long wait time to really get interesting in terms of pacing since it does the slow-burn build-up instead of the rapid-fire pacing that makes for a lot more enjoyable tactic. As well, the finale is quite lame and doesn't really do much to restore faith in it's decision-making as the weak look and rushed feel definitely impact this overall. Still, it's got enough to make for a decent-enough watch.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.

toddg-473-289818 Not sure why this movie evoked so many negative reviews. A sequel always has more potential if it tells the next chapter in a story, rather than repeating the same story again. THE LAST EXORCISM II does that, following Nell Sweetzer on her journey from the farm to the big city, and how the demons still haunt her and want to possess her permanently.Make no mistake about it, this is an Ashley Bell movie. Her amazing physical dexterity shown in the first movie is used again in this movie, along with a greater range of emotions than just sweet and innocent turning into demonic rage. And the vehicle that the script uses to further the attempt at her possession is a sexual one, rather than a violent one. Fortunately, the movie chooses to be suggestive rather than gratuitous, and could have easily fallen off the slippery slope of being too overtly sexual. What didn't work in expanding Nell's character in this way is that she is supposed to be 17, yet she and the other girls living in the halfway house all look to be in their mid 20's, far past the time when schoolgirl crushes and giggly behavior look plausible.The title of this movie is a bit misleading, as only a small portion of it is dedicated to exorcising her demons, and that section is too quickly glossed over. And the man leading the exorcism transitions from supremely confident to frightened and incapable as if his character's placement in the movie was an afterthought.The ending shows Nell overtaken by her demon, paving the way for a third installment, rather than proclaiming some sort of victory or redemption. Kind of a letdown, but not nearly as much as the ending of the first movie.

kosmasp After the first movie being Found footage, this goes the "traditional" ("normal" movie) route. Of course it does make sense to have watched the first movie, before going into this. It does work without it (especially because you do get remarks and everything else you need to part 1), but it works better if you have seen the first one.When I saw the rating, I was expecting something much worse. And while it does have clichés and you will know where this is leading to (beware of some nudity and sexual situation if that "destroys" a movie for you), it also has some very nice touches - no pun intended. We get some people from part one reprising their roles (some expected some unexpected). Not great but still way better than generic stuff such as "Nothing left to fear".
