SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like The Last Exorcism, it uses documentary-style immediacy to make an escalating possession investigation feel uncomfortably plausible, balancing medical uncertainty with mounting supernatural dread.
02
Why this pick
Its church investigators, skeptical procedural approach, and restrained found-footage tension closely echo the grounded religious-horror atmosphere of The Last Exorcism.
03
Why this pick
It shares the uneasy collision of faith, doubt, and possible possession, treating an exorcism as a contested human event rather than relying only on shocks.
04
Why this pick
This mock-documentary possession story similarly builds credibility through observers and ritual detail before shifting into increasingly intense, unnerving horror.
05
Why this pick
A determined skeptic documents his attempt to disprove the occult, giving it the same first-person, faith-versus-disbelief engine that powers The Last Exorcism.

01 / THE STORY
Filmmakers Iris and Daniel follow Cotton Marcus, a reverend living in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who seeks to delegitimize exorcisms. Marcus, who lost his faith after the birth of his ill son, is accustomed to performing fake exorcisms on "possessed" individuals. He accepts an exorcism request sent by farmer Louis Sweetzer, who claims his livestock are being slaughtered by his daughter Nell; Louis suspects that Nell is possessed by Satan.
