I believe it was comedy genius Craig Ferguson who who pointed out the paradox in making a sequel to a movie called The Last Exorcism. The 2010 film provided to be one of the best examples of “found-footage” horror one could watch. So why is its sequel so bad? Never mind that—why was this film made?
The Last Exorcism: Part II picks up much later after the first film, finding the young possessed girl recovering from her ordeal in a home for young women in New Orleans. Her recovery doesn’t last long, as the girl becomes the target of menacing activity of the supernatural variety.
This film has a great deal wrong with it. It’s nothing like the first, so anyone who was a fan of its predecessor will be disappointed, to say the least. The intrigue of this film is about as flat as a pancake and half as interesting. It’s easy to get bored here and walk away from this.
To be fair, it did have a pretty cool ending sequence, but is a neat scene before the credits worth the payoff? I’d say not.
Don’t bother with this one. The only terror experienced is when you realize just how terrible this film is.
