Review of The Last Exorcism Part II

The first problem with this movie is that it is PG-13. I think this movie could have been a million times better had it been rated R. This happens because the movie studios are only concerned with selling tickets instead of making a good film. I also want to make it clear that Ashley Bell is an amazingly talented actress. The way she portrays her innocence and confusion regarding what has happened to her is soul shaking. She really makes you feel every emotion that she is feeling. That being said, it is not her job to make the entire movie scary all by herself! The first movie was so good and solid, so creative… This movie is just lazy, unoriginal and disappointing. A huge let down to fans of the first and I can only describe it as being slightly better than a made for TV movie. The only thing I thought was entertaining about this movie was Ashley Bell's awesome acting skills. Other than that, the story had no substance and when you finally get to the end, they treat it with kid gloves when they could have gone seriously terrifying. Huge disappointment. The only reason I give it a half decent rating is because Bell was so good.
