When he arrives on the rural Louisiana farm of Louis Sweetzer, the Reverend Cotton Marcus expects to perform just another routine "exorcism" on a disturbed religious fanatic. An earnest fundamentalist, Sweetzer has contacted the charismatic preacher as a last resort, certain his teenage daughter Nell is possessed by a demon who must be exorcized before their terrifying ordeal ends in unimaginable tragedy. Buckling under the weight of his conscience after years of parting desperate believers with their money, Cotton and his crew plan to film a confessionary documentary of this, his last exorcism. But upon arriving at the already blood drenched family farm, it is soon clear that nothing could have prepared him for the true evil he encounters there. Now, too late to turn back, Reverend Marcus' own beliefs are shaken to the core when he and his crew must find a way to save Nell – and themselves – before it is too late.I really liked this movie. You know how after the Blair Witch Project opened up so many movies tried to do the same mockumentary hand held camera approach and it was all over done and got beaten to death? Well, this one finally delivers just like The Blair Witch Project. Its super short, they establish legit doubts about exorcisms and what not, the camera angle approaches build up in creepiness, and then it culminates in a way that you are glued to the screen. Granted, I didn't really expect too much from this movie. Maybe that led to my enjoyment of it, but I still liked it alot.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out . . . . . if you enjoy movies like this. There is hand held camera throughout so avoid if that makes you naseuous. It also gets pretty grisly at the end so be warned.
