Yup, you got that right "Mr. Stark". I can't for the life of me figure out you anyone gave this movie a positive review.

Hmm, I just saw this today and while I'm not sure what to think about it, just yet. I really don't consider this a horror film. I think this film was more of an exploration of the Science vs. Religion debate. I do think that both sides were well represented throughout the entire film and no I don't think the last part ruined it. Like Shutter Island and Inception the last act or twist of the film could be seen as cliche and obvious (Though I think in Shutter Island's case it was more about the journey than the ending). But I think like Inception, The Last Exorcism was pretty much open to interpretation. Some still think she was possessed and others are still in doubt.

Scientific

The Baby looked like an undeveloped fetus covered in a lot of blood. I didn't see anything in the fire that resembled a demon ( but other people did). The people were probably occult members who worshipped the devil. She got impregnated by either one of the members (maybe her brother). The father wasn't in on this, which is why he was tied up and probably why he took her out of "Sunday School"(he probably figured something wasn't right about it). The brother joined because he lost his faith after the death of his mother. It's obviously not impossible to contort your body like that since the actress is double jointed and did all of her own stunts.

Religious

The people were demon worshippers and she was carrying the child of Satan. All of this was done against her will because she kept telling the father to kill her. She predicted the deaths of Cotton and his crew through pictures. The demon tricked Cotton into leaving with the "blowing job".

Hm.. I didn't think the movie was THAT bad. The ending was very good, but I thought it had some really freaky parts. For instance (SPOILERS) I thought when Nell stole the camera and was messing around with it ( I really liked how they blurred out her face a bit), then went into the barn and said "here kitty" in that super creepy voice and killed the cat with the camera leaving blood spatters all over it was a good effect. How about when they lock her in that room and they hear two voices, so when they open the door she is just sitting on her bed with a blank stare until they close the door and you see that flash of a smile. Maybe I just like subtle creepy images, they tend to freak me out more than the whole movie being cheap jump out and scare you tricks. I don't know, that is just my opinion. : /

Sorry, I don't mean that I wouldn't necessarily see it anyway if trailers etc appealed.

All I meant was that using his name doesn't swing the difference for me because even though he is a 'name' in horror at the moment, I'm not a big fan of his work.

The PG-13 rating was enough to know this wasn't going to deliver.

Cabin Fever was great, i felt it was a true blend between gore, suspense, and comedy. Hostel was the first on a long road of recent horror porn.
Roth definitely has credential and his own style.
Audiences need to learn that trailers are like used car salesmen. they will say anything to get someone to buy the product.
when was the last time a trailer quoted a critic and used more then four words?
so and so said its "scary", "a true fright" blah blah blah.

Seeing his name shouldn't make you go see, it watch the trailer if it appeals to your senses then go for it

As far as Eli Roth is concerned his best work was very easily Hostel. That isn't saying too much.

The general storyline actually had a good (and fresh) premise. But this film had NO CLUE what it wanted to be. What a shame because it was a waste of some real solid acting.

I agree with this review. I just came from watching this movie. This movie sucked majorly!!! It dragged on too long and reminds how Blair Witch was filmed. I want my refund back! People do yourself a favor save your money or see something else!

I've seen Cabin Fever, Hostel and Hostel, Part 2, and the only one I actually enjoyed was Hostel.

I don't really think Eli Roth is that great – I know he thinks he is but……….I'm not sure trying to sell a movie using his name means anything this early in his career.

Seeing his name attached certainly would not make me go and see it.

The premise for this actually sounds rather good, shame it seems they wasted it with the execution
