Editor's Note Disillusioned charlatan Reverend Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian) comes face to face with pure evil after recruiting a documentary film crew to capture the final exorcism of his career. For years, Reverend Marcus has taken advantage of the faithful and desperate. Now it's time for him to finally come clean. Just as Reverend Marcus prepares to shoot the film that will set the record straight, he receives an urgent letter from a desperate farmer. The devil has taken possession of his beloved daughter Nell (Ashley Bell), and Reverend Marcus is their last hope for salvation. Up to this point it's been all fun and games; now things are about to get serious.

Village Voice 7 of 10
...With a small, well-chosen cast, sly script, and slippery, ambivalent characters, The Last Exorcism gives a welcome titty-twist to the demonic-possession movie revival. - Nick Pinkerton

Boxoffice Magazine 10 of 10
...The Last Exorcism does more than its job with scares and creeping tension and knock-knock-boos, but the deeper scare it leaves you with is the sinking distrust you can't believe even the travesty before you. There aren't demons that can get under your skin deeper than that. - Sara Vizcarrondo
