Pure brilliance. Elegant simplicity. Well if Regency pictures came to me and asked me for a pull-quote blurb, that’s what I’d say. Because it’s true.

When a coach, teacher, parent, or peer says “...hey there, that was a really competent job.” Competent? Yeah. Competent. A really condescending term that points to the ultimate in back-handed compliments. It’s not bad, per se, but it ain’t great either. Enter The Last Exorcism. A really competent piece of filmmaking.
Suffice it to say there’s a lot to unpack here. There’s monsters! There’s blood! There’s blood monsters! There’s bat demons!...

Ok, I gotta get something off my chest. I saw the trailer for this beauty back in 1985 and was so horrified by its content I could have sworn that I’d seen the whole film -- front to back. This was some seriously dense scar tissue built up over the years. But alas, I’d never seen this flic. That was, until a couple weeks ago.
You love 'em. You hate 'em. You don't know where to start. You worship at their altar. All these things are true. One of the most polemic (and satisfying) devices in the horror genre -- shaky cam/found footage flics.
