Excellent but underrated film

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Oh, look, Nell is back for another round of possession. Jeez, how many false scares can you cram into one movie? There was a lot going on here without anything happening. It was like a bunch of ideas put together, but did not form a concrete plot or story. It felt like it was going in circles. This was a completely unnecessary sequel. There are some nice effects during the climax, but I'm afraid I've lost interest by then.

This sequel to the 2010 film fore-goes the 'found footage' style in favour of a more polished, straight-forward manner of continuing the story. Happily, Ashley Bell returns as the previously possessed Nell, found skulking, glassy-eyed and terrified following her earlier ordeal. She is placed in a psychiatric hospital, which carefully helps her to adjust to 'real life' where she gets a job, tentatively begins a relationship with a boy and makes friends with the others who live in the home for girls where she has been placed. But bad dreams, sinister nurses, imaginary (or otherwise) happenings and dreams of an increasingly dark sexual nature are never far away.It's a slow moving picture, which may explain why it didn't eclipse the success of the original. And yet the time is taken to really allow us to know Nell as a person, and sympathise every time her delicate nature is fractured either by supernatural events, or the betrayal of her friends: in a clever development, the 'found footage' from the previous film has been loaded onto YouTube, and through that medium the other girls from the home become familiar with Nell's.Ashley Bell is excellent throughout. She conveys Nell's scripted unease with the world beyond her sheltered home-life with touches of surprise, curiosity and anger at the new strangeness around her, never quite sure of the apparitions she sees are part of 'normality', or fragments of her imagination …As well as this notoriety, Nell has also been observed for some time by The Order of the Right Hand, a group who promise to help her. Calder (David Jensen) and Jeffrey (E. Roger Mitchell), who run the group, conduct an exorcism but the demon Abalam is too strong, and they inject Nell with a lethal morphine dose (cure or kill, it seems). The demon appears to her as she dies, in the forms of people she knows, beseeching her too take their hand. When she does, Abalam finally possesses her fully and she sets about killing all those who have let her down. To show Nell is truly irredeemable by this point, she becomes a fan of that (inexplicable) modern horror staple, heavy metal – because clearly, all horror fans also love hard rock music (we don't)! Despite that last detail, this film is a thoroughly enjoyable sequel and a good story in its own right. Even if it had been more successful (it still turned in a $10 million profit, so it didn't fair badly), it is difficult to imagine how Nell's story could possibly continue.

Hoping to move on with her life, a young woman finds that the demonic possession that had previously plagued her has returned and threatened to destroy more than what happened last time around, forcing her into a battle for her soul.This was quite an enjoyable and really entertaining effort that has a lot going for it. One of it's better efforts is the fact that this one really manages to work the demon possession as something to be feared and dealt with in this, as the amount of time spent here is where this one really works out nicely. Not only is this something that torments her as she tries to go about her daily life, it also shows signs of doing this in her personal life as the new job and life among the rest of the girls in the halfway house are certainly enough for this one to get some chilling moments in by managing to infuse numerous amounts of demonic whispers and flash visions that interrupt her attempts to move on which are quite nice at building this atmosphere of her being tormented and targeted quite well throughout here. Likewise, the personal relationships including her boyfriend and those around her manage to come under attack with a slew of scenes including her being psychologically assaulted and levitating in the middle of the room which is where this all scores rather nicely by throwing these sections together to effectively showcase the intent of the possession throughout here. That leads into the film's biggest plus, which is the rather enjoyable exorcism scene here. Rather than relying on the traditional Christian methodologies that have been done dozens of times over here, the novel approach of a voodoo ceremony to accomplish the same thing makes this seem a lot more creative and unique than it would be without the tactic which also results in this one making for some exciting action as well to really go all-out in this one. There's not a lot to dislike here, though they are pretty heavy as this one really has a problem wandering around in the beginning without really getting anything accomplished. The film has a problem with variety as this resorts to continuous use of whispers and voices for its scares yet doesn't do much else to really utilize its' scares so this one really tends to drag on in the first half with a long wait time to really get interesting in terms of pacing since it does the slow-burn build-up instead of the rapid-fire pacing that makes for a lot more enjoyable tactic. As well, the finale is quite lame and doesn't really do much to restore faith in it's decision-making as the weak look and rushed feel definitely impact this overall. Still, it's got enough to make for a decent-enough watch.Rated PG-13: Violence and Language.

Okay, I try to do a little more than just blatantly slag off a film, but with 'The Last Exorcism Part II' it's kind of hard not to.I didn't expect to enjoy the first film and, amazingly, I was in for a pleasant surprise. It may have been a 'found footage' film, but it was enjoyably creepy, despite being an overused genre about an overused subject matter.Therefore, based on the first movie alone, I decided to watch the sequel. I really wish I hadn't. It's a completely different type of film for a start, i.e. not 'found footage.' I guess the film-makers wanted not to just do a rehash of the first movie and try something different. What they came up with was simply one of the more boring films ever made.We follow the girl from the first story, now trying to lead a normal life. But she can't. The spirit she fought before wants to be in her again. Things bump around wherever she goes, therefore, in turn, making her jump. That's about it. She has a gaggle of female friends who do little more than giggle and make clichéd remarks. Plus there's a love interest for out main lead. It adds nothing to the plot, other than detracting yet further from anything vaguely scary.The Last Exorcism (part one) was nothing that special, but at least it was watchable enough to be enjoyable (if you like low budget horror flicks). Part II, on the other hand, is just dull with no redeeming features.Maybe I should have known better than to watch a sequel to a film with the word 'last' in the title. Dear film-makers, PLEASE make part II the absolute last this time. I won't be watching 'The Last Last Last Exorcism' if it ever sees the light of day.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
