"The Last Exorcism Part II" is a really not good sequel of "The Last Exorcism" movie of 2010. In this movie we have again Ashley Bell who after the first movie in which the evil force has possessed her and finally left her now it returns. I did not like this movie because I think that it is not the sequel which many people expected to be and because it was really awful. This movie makes you believe at the beginning of it that it will be a nice movie but after that you will change your mind. Finally I have to tell you that if you want to have a comprehensive view of this movie sequel you have to see it and then regret it.

After the millions that made The Last Exorcism the producers must have been cursed by some evil spirit to summon the money out of horror buffs to see this awful second entry into the story of Nell (Ashley Bell). I thought that Ashley would show her abilities again of moving her body in weird ways but it just didn't happen. It's a slow builder, the evil entity comes slowly in the life of Nell but once it does it never develops. There's nothing frightening or nothing even works out fine here. After a while it even became rather boring. I don't understand that a ,name like Eli Roth, involved here didn't make it worth watching. And when things go wrong and Nell is getting possessed the evil is shown off-camera. The final was even laughable when Nell is driving away. The Last Exorcism part 2 was made just for the money, let the devil curse the producers. Luckily Ashley Bell looked believable. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5

Unlike so many others (general audience not critics) I count my self a fan of the original Last Exorcism. I found the film to be throughly engaging. Funny with some creepiness and a burst of disturbing at its unexpected if slightly hammy conclusion. The no. 1 thing I loved about that film was Cotton the Reverend, the second thing Nell played by Ashley Bell in a physically daunting, creepfest performance. So when I heard they were developing a sequel I was game Because the first film had created characters that I liked. But as the release loomed closer I realized that Cotton wasn't going to be part of the mix which was a little bit of a let down. However even though the trailer looked a little silly, well a lot I wanted to give the film makers props for not going with the know annoying found footage routine and updating out main characters story to something more classically cinematic. The results are mixed but it's safe to say that there's enough to merit a soft recommendation. The film picks up the moments after the events of the original where Nell is found traumatized and brought into a girl's halfway house. Everything seems well enough at first as she begins to adjust to everyday activities. It's a little lifetimeish as she listens to her first ipod, wears some lipstick and has her first real kiss but we like the character and Bell keeps it engaging. But strange things begin to happen and we slowly but surely discovering that the demon from the original is still looking for her to fulfill a prophecy of horrific proportions. It all sounds a little generic but the way in which the material is approached is somewhat interesting because you see the demon has in fact fallen in love with her and is sort of courting her destroying the life around her. It's a n intriguing concept sadly not fully explored but hidden inside this is great one and had they had more a budget to hide this hokey effects (cartoon cgi fire ugh), A more in depth screenplay and a harder rating which would have allowed them to show more this could have been a real blast. There is potential that runs throughout the film populated by solid performances especially for the genre, some decent scares, a creepy indie atmosphere and some really nice cinematography (the shadow work is impressive). But in the end it fails to really deliver on any of its promises which is sad and with its dismal box office and a feisty finale which could have led to something pretty cool it doesn't look like we are going to see another entry. Maybe we'll get lucky and they will explore the concept further on a direct to DVD sequel. But regardless of the films faults of which there are many it's a lot better than most of the big studio crap they've been releasing like The Possession and The Apparition at least there's a story here an an intriguing one at that. 3/5

Nell, traumatised by the events preceding and following her exorcism in The Last Exorcism, spends time in mental hospital and then a halfway house, trying to find a way to a normal life. Unfortunately, it appears that the demon Abalam may not have finished with her. Nell's further adventures are chronicled in a film which, thankfully, abandons the "found footage" approach of its predecessor, and delivers a perfectly acceptable tale of a young woman, earmarked for demonic possession, trying to escape what fate has in store for her. Ashley Bell's performance doesn't have the double-jointed physicality of the first film, but it is still effective in showing all sides of an ordinary but tormented girl. The plot advances constantly, though never in an unexpected direction. The New Orleans setting adds some atmosphere, and the movie is suspenseful rather than scary - most of the scares are of the loud noise variety. Overall, I thought it was better than the inaccurately named The Last Exorcism (it wasn't the last one at all, there was another one in this film).
