After the first movie being Found footage, this goes the "traditional" ("normal" movie) route. Of course it does make sense to have watched the first movie, before going into this. It does work without it (especially because you do get remarks and everything else you need to part 1), but it works better if you have seen the first one.When I saw the rating, I was expecting something much worse. And while it does have clichés and you will know where this is leading to (beware of some nudity and sexual situation if that "destroys" a movie for you), it also has some very nice touches - no pun intended. We get some people from part one reprising their roles (some expected some unexpected). Not great but still way better than generic stuff such as "Nothing left to fear".
... View MoreAfter the millions that made The Last Exorcism the producers must have been cursed by some evil spirit to summon the money out of horror buffs to see this awful second entry into the story of Nell (Ashley Bell). I thought that Ashley would show her abilities again of moving her body in weird ways but it just didn't happen. It's a slow builder, the evil entity comes slowly in the life of Nell but once it does it never develops. There's nothing frightening or nothing even works out fine here. After a while it even became rather boring. I don't understand that a ,name like Eli Roth, involved here didn't make it worth watching. And when things go wrong and Nell is getting possessed the evil is shown off-camera. The final was even laughable when Nell is driving away. The Last Exorcism part 2 was made just for the money, let the devil curse the producers. Luckily Ashley Bell looked believable. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5
... View MoreThe seventeen year-old Nell Margareth Sweetzer (Ashley Bell) is found completely insane and obsessed by the demon Abalam. After medical and psychological treatment, she is sent to the Deveraux transition house in New Orleans managed by Frank Merle (Muse Watson), who helps her to start a new life. She finds a job of hotel housekeeper; befriends her roommates; and has a crush on the teenager Chris (Spencer Treat Clark). But soon she is haunted by people from her cult and by an evil force that wants to possess her. When Nell meets Cecile (Tarra Riggs), she tells that she has been following Nell since the hospital. Further, she discloses that she belongs to the sect Order of Right Hand that can protect her from the evil and Nell goes to her house. Will Nell be protected from the powerful evil force?"The Last Exorcism Part II" is an unnecessary sequel of "The Last Exorcism". The movie is not so bad as described in many reviews, but the conclusion is a great deception. Ashley Bell has good performance but the story is weak and pointless. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "O Último Exorcismo - Parte 2" ("The Last Exorcism Part 2")
... View MoreUm, what's there to say, it's bad. But it's that weird kind of bad. It's full of weird people, and plot points, and just plain weird scenes. The characters and their acting range from bland to....a lighter bland. Before the last ten minutes, it was pretty straight forward that Nell is batsh-t insane, there ain't no demons, came on. This is pretty much the things people in the real experience, and claim to be some possession BS. I honestly couldn't tell if any of the characters were good, they were all just so strange, I was suspicious of everyone. Really, I juts can't focus my thoughts, this film was so jumbled. There are so many pointless moments, like that guy commanding some light tree thing, right after Nell was having her...sex...dream thing. Or that statue guy during the parade. I don't know, this movie was overly sexual, numerous times throughout the film Nell listens in on people doing it, she dreams about it constantly, she looks like she wants some Gwen, she at the end she even licks her face. It's just stupid, maybe it symbolizes the fact she has to be the Devils baby mama, it's just dumb. It's time to talk about clichés. First on the list, birds flying into the windows, that's three horror films in 2013 alone that have that happen, my god. Second, the static T.v., that plays mysterious video of Nell. I'm surprised there is no levitation or contorted movements, oh wait, you'd at least have to put some scary scenes in the film to do that. Yeah that right, not one, and I am dead serious when I say not one, single second of this movie tried to be scary. People having seizures, not scary. Creppy guys on demonic phones, not scary. There isn't even any of that stupid jump scare music, or any loud noises for that matter. Even the lowest budget, quarter ass-ed, garbage on Netflix tried harder than this. And yes, Nell looks like she's at least 30 in this film, even though she is only 17, they did even try to hide her aged face.And lastly, the ending. Nell switches over to the dark side, she magically UN-restrains her self from the table, and takes the imaginary devils hand. She really just grasped at the air. Oh, yeah this had a 30 second exorcism scene, YEP, 30 seconds, wow. Then they just gave up and pumped some poison into her, which was clearly a mistake in such a time sensitive moment. They should have just bashed her head, but no, the film wants to set itself up for a continuation. It ends with Nell becoming some type of X-men/Carrie wannabe.Now I remember why I didn't go to the theatres to see this, well it's still better that The Conjuring, whoops.
