Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Last Exorcism is a 2010 American mockumentary horror film directed and edited by Daniel Stamm. It stars Patrick Fabian, Iris Bahr, Ashley Bell, and Louis Herthum.The film is told from the perspective of a disillusioned evangelical minister, who after years of performing exorcisms decides to participate in a documentary chronicling his last exorcism while exposing the fraud of his ministry. After receiving a letter from a farmer asking for help in driving out the devil, he meets the farmer's afflicted daughter.The Last Exorcism has received generally positive reviews from critics, but polarizing reviews among general audiences.A sequel titled The Last Exorcism Part II was released in 2013 focusing on Nell, who survived the events of the last film but with little memory of what occurred, as the evil force that once possessed her comes back with a more sinister intention.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

The Cuckoolander Was Right: Louis, who had been portrayed as a crazy and superstitious person throughout the movie, turns out to be right about the whole thing being supernatural.

Based on a Great Big Lie: Cotton tries to prove that exorcisms and demon possessions are this.

Decon-Recon Switch: The film starts out as a deconstruction of Demonic Possession movies. Cotton is a charlatan who lost his faith in God long ago, and the various cases of possession that he tackles are portrayed as psychosomatic, signs of mental illness as expressed by people brought up to believe that demons are real. The thing is, the exorcisms are also psychosomatic, and Cotton's work is shown to genuinely help those who believe that they're possessed by making them believe that the demons have been driven out of them, which is the reason why he kept doing it for so long. And when it turns out that, in this case, the demon is Real After All, this knowledge restores Cotton's faith in God just in time for the final confrontation.
