Last Exorcism

Had the day off work so watched another movie in between everything else that we did.  That movie happened to be "The Last Exorcism" ... and that will end up being not only the first time but the last time I ever watch it.  The movie wasn't the worst I've seen but it certainly wasn't good either.

First off, the movie is told in the "documentary" style where they are following the main character chronicling his life.  I really don't like that style of movie 99 times out of 100 and this wasn't that 1%.  It is just hard to give the movie good flow or feel in that style of filming.

Next, the plot wasn't all that great.  While the idea of having the priest not actually believe in demons and possessions and instead believing that he is just helping people overcome a mental problem was somewhat new, it was still a possession movie.  Priest goes to farm, sees girl, fakes an exorcism, turns out she is possessed so he then tries to help, yadda yadda yadda...

The end was nothing special either.  Turns out the girl is pregnant with a demon baby and the town priest led the satanic cult.  Good priest attempts to "fight back the demon baby" while his crew runs off only to be killed.  Of course by having the camera crew run off you have no idea what happened with the priest/demon/remainder of the cultists but it can be guessed the priest got killed somehow.

The movie didn't really flow well, didn't really develop characters well ... and in general just didn't entertain me.  I don't recommend this movie and is the worst of those I've reviewed thus far ... easily...
