The Last Exorcism Part II (2013)

Thanks for the memories!

Perfect cast and a good story

A Masterpiece!

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The Last Exorcism, Part 2 (2013): Dir: Ed Gass-Donnelly / Cast: Ashley Bell, Julia Garner, Spencer Treat Clark, Tarra Riggs, Muse Watson: While the first film had amusing elements regarding phony preachers and the whole reality take on things, this sequel is standard and boring. We are given flashes of the first film during the credits then possessed Ashley Bell ends up in some strange couple's bed and eventually in their kitchen. Then she ends up at a halfway house in hopes to make her normal. She is in the wrong film for that sort of help. Bell is a talented actress but her role here is laughable. Apparently the demon possessing her gives her massive orgasms in her sleep while her body elevates and arches above her bed in a display that would leave pornographers in envy. Julia Garner plays the standard brat out to make Bell's halfway house experience more embarrassing. Spencer Treat Clark plays that standard guy out to possess Bell sexually. Tarra Riggs is laughable as this spiritual woman out to exorcize her. Muse Watson has the laughable role of landlord of sorts for a home for girls. Perhaps these girls were locked away so that they could not flee the set. This is all visually well made and directed but very bloody stupid. It is just a money grab with no other reason to exist. This film is so bad that the only good it can do is to be tossed in a garbage disposal and possess that for a few minutes. Hopefully Miss Bell will not be remembered for this forever but one must wonder whether she would react with the same facial actions if this junk ends up summing up her career. Best wishes for her. Score: 2 / 10

After the previous events at her farm home, Nell is found insane when trying to explain what happened to her and her family. After medical and psychological treatment, she's sent to the Deveraux transition house in New Orleans managed by Frank Merle, who helps her to start a new life. As Nell starts to become more confident she finds a job, befriends her roommates, and develops a crush on a coworker. As time passes, though, Nell starts to see visions of her father and he seems to warn her that the demon who previously possessed her still has a hold on her. Seeking help, Nell meets Cecile who tells her that she has been watching her since her hospital release, and that she can help. Now it's a race against time to try and exorcise the demon before it takes complete control of Nell once again.OK straight to the point here....the first movie wasn't bad....this one sucked. The 1st movie was decent because it was a "lost footage found" movie and was pretty creepy, but this sequel is shot as an actual movie and is most definitely is not creepy. The main reason why it was so bad for me is that it just didn't go anywhere or do anything. It was in no way creepy or scary and it most definitely didn't have the same eerie atmospheric feel as the 1st film. There is the odd moment here and there where you think "finally - it's going somewhere!" only to see that it comes to a dead end once again.Ashley Bell, while doing a decent job as Nell, didn't really play the part as good as she did in the 1st. There were too many moments where she jumped at different situations and looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Although, after living through the events of before I guess Nell WOULD be jumpy and timid.The best part of the movie by far is the last 10 minutes or so, and it's this that saved it from getting a lower rating for me. Overall, The Last Exorcism II is boring, non-eventful, and just really a waste of time.Do yourself a favour - give this one a miss.

Not sure why this movie evoked so many negative reviews. A sequel always has more potential if it tells the next chapter in a story, rather than repeating the same story again. THE LAST EXORCISM II does that, following Nell Sweetzer on her journey from the farm to the big city, and how the demons still haunt her and want to possess her permanently.Make no mistake about it, this is an Ashley Bell movie. Her amazing physical dexterity shown in the first movie is used again in this movie, along with a greater range of emotions than just sweet and innocent turning into demonic rage. And the vehicle that the script uses to further the attempt at her possession is a sexual one, rather than a violent one. Fortunately, the movie chooses to be suggestive rather than gratuitous, and could have easily fallen off the slippery slope of being too overtly sexual. What didn't work in expanding Nell's character in this way is that she is supposed to be 17, yet she and the other girls living in the halfway house all look to be in their mid 20's, far past the time when schoolgirl crushes and giggly behavior look plausible.The title of this movie is a bit misleading, as only a small portion of it is dedicated to exorcising her demons, and that section is too quickly glossed over. And the man leading the exorcism transitions from supremely confident to frightened and incapable as if his character's placement in the movie was an afterthought.The ending shows Nell overtaken by her demon, paving the way for a third installment, rather than proclaiming some sort of victory or redemption. Kind of a letdown, but not nearly as much as the ending of the first movie.

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".
