This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A very interesting, skeptical film about the paranormal which descends into cliche, laziness and non-sense in the final 20 minutes.

The simple single-cam documentary style approach works fantastic, helped in part by charming performances and lack of music.

However, the movie doesn't have confidence to back itself and ends up resorting to traditional horror tropes by the films end. Entertaining, but could have been much more...

The Last Erectionism.

Found Footage Horror

For a budget of 1.8 million, no special effects and rated PG-13 this is a pretty good movie. If they had only pushed it and made it a rated R movie this could of been a really good movie. Some of it is predictable but I like how the movie unfolds with some of the twists surprising. It's not the best found footage but I like how it's a documentary setup. Right away it made me think of the documentary Marjoe, about a Pentecostal preacher who was a phony and has a camera crew follow him self to expose what he does. It's a really interesting watch.

I most certainly hope it was......

Boring, predictable navel lint of a film. One of the weakest entries in the found footage genre.

Not something to watch if you want to get spooked, but an entertaining found footage film about a possession. There was some creepy build up moments and a few jump scares but honestly nothing to really freak you out, which was a little disappointing. I loved the reverend/exorcists character and how they made him out to be sort of a con artist and ended up basically shitting his pants when it turned out to be real. And the ending was great in my opinion, it reminded me a lot of Rosemary's Baby.

I was frustrated with this, I was really enjoying the movie, but the ending ruined it for me, they managed to really keep you guessing if it was supernatural or not, and the characters were really interesting, and the main preacher is very likable and you root for him, and he has a conflict of faith that is interesting to watch... and then they had to add that stupid ending that really brought it down.

This film had promise, but barring a couple of creepy parts it was let down by being overwhelmingly dull, and a completely bullshit ending.

mockumentary is a different way to develop the story but finish the movie without end was a big mistake.

If only...

I was really surprised by this, I was expecting the usual, straight up exorcist film but instead it leaves you wondering and confused about what is really real within the film itself. It plays with the idea of both real and fake exorcisms and the practises of both. Nicely executed.

A charlatan reverend makes a documentary to show of his tricks of the trade while performing an exorcism. Another one of those "found footage" Blair Witch Project type films. This one is good but the ending leaves a lot to be desired.

An evangelical preacher who has lost his faith teams up with a documentary crew to show him performing an 'exorcism' on a young girl to expose what a fraud he feels the whole practice is...

Thoughts - More 'found footage'

The actual film was fine if a little bland. It keeps the ambiguity going as to whether the girl is really possessed or not. Ashley Bell as Nell sells the whole naive teenager who may or may not be possessed by a demon really well, Patrick Fabian as the preacher is a likeable enough presence as well. The film is actually pretty well done for the most part delivering some decent scary moments and it feels 'authentic' enough.

And then we get to the final ten minutes.....which are frankly an absolute travesty.
