The Last Exorcism

"Possessed by suspense, talent, brains and a gothic sense of humor (...) makes first-rate use of religious doubt and religious extremism to concoct a novel horror-thriller clever enough to seduce unbelievers while satisfying the bloodlust of its congregation" 

"An unusually restrained and genuinely eerie little movie perched at the intersection of faith, folklore and female puberty" 

"It's not just the hand-held camera that will shake you up. The Last Exorcism gives you good reason to be very afraid of the dark (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" 

"This supernatural yarn is thoroughly engrossing until it loses its way (...) It's as if the filmmakers didn't know how to resolve the mayhem, opting for silly over diabolical (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)" 

"Satan is optional in The Last Exorcism. This is the rare horror film that would have been entertaining even if nothing scary happened" 

"The method is well-worn and the subject-matter familiar, but this is a smart, scary little picture. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
