Verdict on The Last Exorcist
The Last Exorcist is a horror movie that follows siblings as they deal with an unexpected possession connected to their past. However, it takes them down a much more sinister path as they search for answers.
This movie does everything you would expect from an exorcism movie. It doesn’t offer very much new, despite having deeper reasons for the haunting. The fact nothing feels that believable in the performances doesn’t help and we end up with a typical low-budget late-night horror movie.
Final Thoughts – The Last Exorcist is not one of the better exorcism movies.
