Am I the only one who loved this movie?

I feel like the majority of the reviews for this movie are negative. I just don't understand why? I thought that The Last Exorcism was one of the best films to come out of "The Exorcist" sub-genre in a long time. The film is a mockumentary about a minister who wants to have his last exorcism documented to show the world that these exorcisms are fake. But soon things become way to real for the minister when he realizes he's facing an actually possession.

I thought the movie was well acted,Patrick Fabian did a superb job as the lead and the supporting roles were portrayed very well. Of course it is a mockumentary so it is a hand-held camera movie. If you don't like them... well don't watch this.

I liked that the movie threw in some comedy as well that kept you entertained in the earlier parts of the film. However a downside is that there is a lull in action in the middle of the movie where it gets kind've boring. But the last 45 minutes or so is full of action so wait it out.

Now from what I've read on here and other sites nobody cared for the ending of this movie. I however thought is was great and not cliché like most exorcism movies. I don't want to give away too many spoilers so i'll leave it at that.

I would definitely recommend this movie for any horror movie fan and fans of "exorcism" movies. Don't expect tons of scares but with a great cast and great writing The Last Exorcism entertained me up until the shocking end.
