Film Review – The Last Exorcism Part II

One of my primary criticisms of 2010’s found footage horror hit, “The
Last Exorcism,” was its artificial feel and cringe-inducing

brings the franchise to its senses, dismissing improvisations and
shaky-cam cinematography to find a more traditional route of terror by
switching the demon activities to the realm of scripted drama, treating
the next round of storytelling in a more cinematic manner, allowing the
audience to be pulled into the tension instead of randomly bopped around
