Candy and a Movie: The Last Exorcism: Part II (October Movie 8)

The Last Exorcism: Part II

I'm just jumping straight into this review because the movie was lame and let's not waste more time on it than necessary. If you really want to you can watch the trailer, but it blows too.

A guy and his wife wake up one morning. She gets out of bed but he feels something still moving in there, which freaks them both out a little. Turns out its just Nell, the scary possessed girl from the first movie.

Nell sees a psychologist who sends her to a house for troubled women when she says Abalam (bad demon) is still coming. She adjusts to life there and seems to be doing pretty good. Her and a few ladies head down to Mardi Gras where people in masks are watching her. One says, “You've been missed”. Ooooo. She's gets a call a few nights later by a guy who says I want to be inside you. Ooooooo. Later that night she's sees her dad who tells her "he is coming for you" about Abalam again I suppose.

The next day she gets her first kiss from the guy she's kind of been seeing and eavesdrops on people banging at her job cleaning hotel rooms. I’m guessing that’s a pretty normal day for someone working at a hotel. That night her dead dad shows up to kill her and let her be free in his words but one of the other girls there who I thought was a little culty shows up and says "no one can have her but him" and sends him away. When the dude in charge of the place checks on things, everyone is of course gone. My cult radar was turned up to strong. Later she levitates but nothing happens with that either.

Nell heads to a church to do some praying but the pastor is in with the cult and sticking with the "he is coming" thing. I hope he is and it better be hard with all this big talk. A pedestrian recognizes her later on the street and wants to take selfie but it comes out all jacked up. He follows that with a seizure that he possibly deserved because he was kind of a douche.

After that little adventure she is contacted by a voodoo lady who tries to help her. It doesn't go well. Nell stops by her boyfriend’s house who says "he (Abalam) loves you so much and I could never love you like him" and slits his throat. Very emo.

Two guys show up with the voodoo lady and they attempt another exorcism. The dude shows up in the mask again (Abalam I think) during it and it turns out to be her. Lots of screaming and yelling with things moving around in her stomach. There is a lull until something loud starts smacking into the walls and ceiling. Her dad shows up and says the people are injecting her with a lethal dose of morphine. The voodoo lady says its true through tears because the possession is just too strong. Abalam shows up and says take my hand and you'll be free. Nell does.

The exorcists die and the house starts bleeding. She shows back up to the women’s house and goes full demon, killing the nice guy in charge and other girls. She gets in car and drives away setting things on fire as she goes and bringing the end of times with her.

Rating: 4.0 – This was a major stinker. I don’t remember much about the first other than thinking it was an ok movie with a solid ending. Part two was a lame movie with a beyond awful ending. It seems they went down two different paths. Everything sucks about this movie beginning with the story. There is really nothing too it. A girl keeps seeing hints that she’s possessed and then she is. That’s it. I’m spoiling it so you don’t see it.

Favorite Scene: You would think I’d like it when a house start bleeding but even that blew.

Favorite Lines: nope

What I would’ve done if I were the main character: Get an old priest and a young priest.

What happens in the sequel: The exorcism scene, which should be the most important one in the movie, lasts longer than five minutes. More people die. Fake fire looks better. But most importantly, a good director who can make a good movie possesses the director of part II. It’s what’s best for everyone.
