  It's not related to The Exorcist films.
  
  It's awful.

  I thought it was decent enough, worth a watch. If you have seen Paranormal Activity 3 you will see that it was inspired by the last exorcism.

  Fairly effective, with some decent shocks. Best to switch off before that joke of an ending arrives - mars the rest of the film. And yes, PA3 was perhaps sorely reminiscent of The Last Exorcism.

  My advice is watch it, but turn off ten minutes before the end!

  Watched myself last night and I have to fully agree with people who have said turn off the last 10 minutes. The films premise is this:
  
  A 'fraud' exorsist who is getting paid handsomely to perform these religious ceremonies to 'rid demons', decides to make a film exposing the fake nature of his work in an attempt to warn people about the dangers of having an exorsist work on children; after hearing about a death of a young boy. He takes on a job with film crew in tow and is confronted with a tricky job that has nothing to do with 'demons', or does it?
  
  I found the film's angle quite refreshing as it took the approach of a sceptic. The lead was good enough, a cheesy pastor type, smug. I thought the performance of 'Nel', the 'possessed' girl, very good. The pace of the film continually altered to keep you off guard and as I prayed for an interesting but inevitable twist. What I got was a mixed bag of loose ends. It is a shame the ending raised more questions than it answered and it did leave me a little disappointed overall. It is worth watching if you enjoy this type of films but if you enjoy second guessing a good ending, you will be left a bit deflated by the conclusion.

  If you want a jumpy film about possession shot in night vision then yeah the PA series does it well. The Last Exorsism tries to do it differently which I aplaud and with the exception of the last moments of the film, actually enjoyed the story of it and the issues of battling conscience.
