#178: The last exorcism , Movies recommended or seen lately... les films a voir

Genre: Horror/Horreur

Annee/Year: 2010

Format: Blu Ray

The last exorcism. This is one of those movies which work better on paper than in the final product. If you are wishing for a spriritual descendant from the Exorcist; forget it. This is the second movie from Director Daniel Stamm (who also made A necessary death) and shows some interesting potential.

The movie is about a preature in the US (played by Patrick Fabian) who has preached all is life and practiced dozens of exorcisms although he does not believe in the process himself. The priest is at a turnpoint in his life where he is no longer a believer himself and walks in his shoes as an automaton without any convictions and treating his work/faith much like a shaman. He is followed by a camera crew as he gets his last request for an exorcism in rural Louisianna. We follow him and the film crew as they engage in this exercise and meet a family of father and two kids; one of which a naive adolescent girl called Nell ,admirably played by Ashley Bell.

The movie which starts very slowly takes us through a roller coaster ride until the end which is a really great surprise and makes it quite memorable. A solid thriller movie but really not in the same vein as the old Exorcist.

The last Exorcism. Le second film du directeur Daniel Stamm, mettant en vedette Patrick Fabian dans le rôle d'un prêtre désabusé qui n'a plus la foi. Lors de son dernier exorciste en carrière, il est suivi par une équipe de tournage qui nous fait vivre l'expérience en première loge. Ils sont invités à aider une famille ou le père qui a deux adolescents est aux prises avec une fille somnambule et des animaux tués pendant la nuit. On y rencontre la jeune Nell (excellent role de Ashley Bell) une jeune ado naive.

L'exorcisme et le film nous font vivre un début un peu long, mais qui se transforme en montagne russe et dont la fin en surprendra plusieurs (meme-moi et ça c'est pas facile). Donc un film intéressant dans le genre, mais qui ne surpasse en rien l'original Exorciste des années '70.
