The Last Exorcism
Description
In this episode of The Killer Point of View Podcast, we dive into Daniel Stamm’s 2010 found-footage horror film The Last Exorcism. A story of faith lost, faith tested, and the terrifying consequences of playing with what you don’t believe in.
We kick things off with some recommendations and a quick look at what we’ve been watching, before turning our attention to Cotton Marcus, the preacher who grew up in the church but no longer believes in demonic possession. With a film crew following him, Cotton sets out to expose the tricks behind exorcisms but when the case of Nell takes a shocking turn, he’s forced to face something he never truly believed in.
We’ll break down: From Patrick Fabian’s layered performance as Cotton, to Ashley Bell’s unforgettable turn as Nell. Did Cotton’s decision to use a film crew to reveal the fakeness of exorcisms make the real possession more impactful?
On first watch, was Nell possessed, faking it, or suffering from abuse? Was Cotton’s skepticism blinding him to the truth?
Which possessed Nell moment was the creepiest? Did the ending completely flip your perspective on the film? Which scene left the deepest scar?
Finally, we’ll give our overall thoughts, share our ratings, and tease what’s coming next on the show.
If you love horror that questions faith, plays with skepticism, and delivers a gut-punch ending, you won’t want to miss this breakdown of The Last Exorcism.
