When he arrives on the rural Louisiana farm of Louis Sweetzer, the Reverend Cotton Marcus expects to perform just another routine "exorcism" on a disturbed religious fanatic. An earnest fundamentalist, Sweetzer has contacted the charismatic preacher as a last resort, certain his teenage daughter Nell is possessed by a demon who must be exorcized before their terrifying ordeal ends in unimaginable tragedy.
Buckling under the weight of his conscience after years of parting desperate believers with their money, Cotton and his crew plan to film a confessionary documentary of this, his last exorcism. But upon arriving at the already blood drenched family farm, it is soon clear that nothing could have prepared him for the true evil he encounters there. Now, too late to turn back, Reverend Marcus' own beliefs are shaken to the core when he and his crew must find a way to save Nell - and themselves - before it is too late.
Produced by Hostel director Eli Roth, The Last Exorcism is a possession horror in the tradition of The Exorcist, but shot in the documentary style of Paranormal Activity, The Blair Witch Project, or if you really want to delve back into the archives, Umberto Lenzi's grotty man-eating epic Cannibal Ferox.
The recently unveiled trailer shown here is the first glimpse we've had of The Last Exorcism, directed by Daniel Stamm, whose last movie was the disturbing A Necessary Death in 2008.
Set on a dilapidated Louisiana farm, Reverend Cotton Marcus agrees to perform one final exorcism on a possessed teenager. Desperate for a bit of cash, Marcus consents to carry out his rites in front of a documentary crew, and the gory, shadowy events shown here is some of the resulting footage.
The trailer is crammed with plenty of familiar horror movie tropes - aggressive backwater yokels and screaming, lank-haired women, but Stamm's previous form could make The Last Exorcism a late summer fright-fest worth keeping an eye on.
The Last Exorcism is due for release on 27 August.
