This was a boys' night out: my older brother (48), me (36) and my nephew (11).
Verdict? All 3 of us enjoyed the movie, and even accepted the ending that some people complained about.
This is a fresh sort of 'horror' movie, offering something a bit different. In my opinion, "The Last Exorcism" was a movie where modernity and vintage meet. The sense was that it made you feel safe by the rational thought, and exposing of so-called Exorcist charlatans by the main character, but ultimately it ended with a sense of Rosemary's Baby.
Again, this is just my opinion, but he movie hooked me from the beginning and didn't let go until the credits started. The acting was solid, the dialog interesting, and yes: the ending was appropriate, IMHO.
The people whining about the ending are either unimaginative, or like their movies wrapped up in a pink bow with pretty ponies stamped on it.
The abrupt ending was *not* abrupt; it was totally solid and because it wasn't necessarily a happy ending doesn't make it a cheat.
I also consider it an insult to relate this movie to The Blair Witch Project, although parts are reminiscent BECAUSE the movie DOES tie up the ending more-so than TBWP.
I'm one of those people who don't like it when there's not a happy ending, but I can honestly say I don't feel cheated or let down.
It's a horror movie, deal with the ending.
