Wellllllllll, as its not a remake or something dragged back from the 80's it'll most likely be something you'll enjoy mate..
The reviews are:
" You
have discovered a gem of a movie. Folks in a summer of disappointment,
get in line now for THE LAST EXORCISM."
" Trust me, i am really not a fan of modern horror films, but this was one
of the scariest movies i have ever seen. It was truly shocking and
scary as *beep*
I give it 4/5 stars and recommend it to anyone who says they enjoy horror.

" Caught this last night at the LA Film Fest. Great, tight story with
some really impressive performances (especially Cotton and Nell). The
plot had a number of really great twists, that kept me unsure of where
it was going the whole time.
I'm assuming it was directly influenced by the 1970's Oscar-winning
documentary Marjoe, where an evangelist who has lost his faith invites
a documentary crew to follow him as he reveals all his tricks. They
took that idea into a twisted and really original direction.
I only wish they'd used a little less music - it could be a bit
overpowering sometimes, and ruined the verite style. But all in all, it
was a great horror flick.

" Very low expectations, went in knowing nothing about it, and was really
surprised. Smart and scary. Actually had something to say which I
appreciated. Also surprisingly funny.
From the beginning, characters were fantastic and unlike a lot of other
movies using the same narrative device, there was actually a purpose to
this one. The lead actor is a professional exorcist and is having a
crisis of conscience after years of ripping people off pretending to
rid people of demons. He's a fraud and he invites the camera to
document his deceptive practices. Right off the bat I was hooked
because I think exorcisms are bull.
Then things get weird. That girl is creepy and great. Her
fundamentalist dad was scary and reminded me of people i knew where i
grew up. The whole family was creepy. Terrifying that people believe in
this stuff, even more terrifying than if it were real.
I can't decide if religious folks will like it. At first I thought not
a chance, but by the end I thought maybe it actually validated
exorcisms. It was mostly non-denominational and never actually said
what faith (presumably among the many Christian faiths) it was. But in
the end it didn't feel like a completely non-secular experience. They
list on the poster that they are rated PG-13 but i think that will be
hard to pull off.
This is a much better, smarter, scarier movie than others in its
category or anything else i have seen lately.
Great movie.
