""In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the evangelical Reverend Cotton Marcus was raised by his father to be a preacher. He agrees that the filmmaker Iris Reisen and the cameraman Daniel Moskowitz make a documentary about his life. Cotton tells that when his wife Shanna Marcus had troubles in the delivery of their son Justin, he prioritized the doctor help to God and since then he questions his faith. Further, he tells that exorcisms are frauds but the results are good for the believers because they believe it is true. When Cotton is summoned by the farmer Louis Sweetzer to perform an exorcism in his daughter Nell, Cotton sees the chance to prove to the documentary crew what he has just told. They head to Ivanwood and they have a hostile reception from Louis's son Caleb. Cotton performs the exorcism in Nell, exposing his tricks to the camera, but sooner they learn that the dysfunctional Sweetzer family has serious problems."
Review:
Overall the movie had great acting at specially by the girl who pay play Neil. I would give it a maybe a six I have 10 stars because nothing really scary happened. It was more of a drama with an exorcism plot. It started out really good but towards the end it became cliché and as though it wanted to add a gimmick when they had Neil being sacrificed to the devil. Because they wanted to have the movie seem real by using a first person point of view many things did not seem real. If it wanted to seem more realistic they should have gotten the police in the first half an hour.
Although it wasn't as scary and great as many people made it seem I would still recommend it for a one time watch.
