After Eli Roth's Cabin Fever and Hostel enjoyed their UK premieres at past FrightFest events
, it is ironic that The Last Exorcism (which Roth helped produce) should be the first film to bring the noughties horror icon to FrightFest in person ironic' because Daniel Stamm's faux documentary, written by merry mockumentary pranksters Huck Botko and Andrew Gurland (Mail Order Wife), shares none of the graphic violence or gore that has come to typify the Roth oeuvre. Instead, it packages a subtle dialectic between faith and skepticism (or at least between outright gullibility and the willing suspension of disbelief) in the wrapping of a demonic chiller.Watch the last exorcism online for free
After years of cheating believers out of their money by staging exorcisms of demons that he has himself long ceased to believe actually exist, charismatic preacher Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian) invites a small documentary film crew to join him on one of his call-outs and "expose exorcism for the scam it really is." Clearly there is something amiss on the Sweetzers' Louisiana farm. Its recently widowed, Christian fundamentalist owner Louis (Louis Herthum) insists that a devil is making his home-schooled 16-year-old daughter Nell (Ashley Bell) mutilate livestock in the night but Cotton, spotting precisely the sort of deluded psychological dysfunction that his performances are designed to treat, begins the girl's holy therapy, all the while showing his crew (and us) the many tricks of his trade.
After the exorcism is complete, however, Nell's behaviour becomes more unruly, and as Cotton seeks the underlying cause of all her horrific physical contortions and disturbing utterances, and struggles to protect the troubled girl from her increasingly aggressive father, it begins to seem that there may be a devil at work after all.
Introducing the European premiere of his film on-stage, Stamm claimed he had always said European audiences would get his film, before pleading: "So please get it tonight." This was not mere currying of FrightFesters' favour for there truly is something to get in a film that first goes out of its way to reveal how to fabricate a possession before presenting us with a terrifyingly convincing simulacrum of the real thing, and then going on to suggest that all of the supporting characters have been involved in a diabolically complicated charade of their own.
Even the film's use of manipulative editing and added score elements which the subsequent Q&A revealed annoyed and disconcerted some viewers had a crucial part to play in its meaning and interpretation as a polished product rather than the sort of found footage' seen in The Blair Witch Project or Cloverfield. Here, the medium truly is part of the message.
The Last Exorcism is like The Exorcist (and The Wicker Man) mixed with F for Fake, and it is only after the full-impact shock of the surprise ending has worn off that viewers can pick themselves up and work their way back to all the equivocations that the rest of the film has so carefully put in place. To say that The Last Exorcism will play just as well to the Bible Belt as to hipster infidels is not only to recognise the commercial canniness of the filmmakers, but also to recognise Stamm's (not to mention his fictive filmmaker's) consummate handling of ambiguity.
For the devil remains in the details as to whether this ends up being just another film about satanic goings-on, or a work of multi-layered charlatanism designed to give us, in return for our money, precisely the cathartic treatment that we desire.
