The Last Exorcism

     If you obsess over horror films like me, I definitely recommend The Last Exorcism. This is the most recent movie I've seen in theaters and i was pleasantly surprised. The title alone attracts the attention of the fans from all the previous "Exorcism" films before this one. So, the movie did not really need a famous cast to promote it. This movie was released August 27th 2010 and the reviews have been either really great or really bad reguarding this film. I happen to be a fan of the original Exorcism, so i thought i would check out the new demon possession movie. If you have a morbid curiosity and don't mind some disturbing images, this is a must see for you.
   This movie was filmed like a documentary, which made it seem more real. The movie centers around a small town Reverend named Cotton Marcus. He preforms exorcisms on the sick but only does it for the money. So, essentially he is selling something that he doesn't even believe in. Rev. Marcus has a camera crew follow him around and watch him fake exorcisms. He justifies it by saying he is still helping lost souls because if someone believes they are possessed with a demon, they will only be healed when the demon is "cast out of them." and that is his job. Reverend Marcus is portrayed as the clever con artist who fakes the very act of religion.
   But when Reverend Marcus discovers Nell, a girl clearly possessed by a demon, will cause him to rethink everything. Nell is his hardest case yet. The camera crew follows him on the journey to heal Nell, but  disprove exorcism in the process. Will it work? Will Marcus believe in exorcisms by the end of the film? The end to the movie blew my mind. If you like a good twist and an interesting plot to keep you entertained, watch The Last Exorcism. What do you think about Exorcisms? Real or fake? Thought please!

My first blog.

Hello world.
My name is Alannah and I'm a freshman at Carson-Newman College. I'm starting a blog for my communications class. I am really interested in film so I thought I would write about that. I'll be writing about films i see and give you my honest opinion on that movie. I'd love your feedback as well. Hopefully I'll make a new post with each different film i see. I'll talk about the plot (without giving away too much), actors, music and if i would see it again.
I do not like just one type of movie. I find the history of film and the background of a movie very important to the viewer. I intend on keeping my reader filled in and updated in the realm of film. Read and enjoy.
