10 Criminally Underrated Films Turning 10 Years Old In 2020
10. The Last Exorcism
The decade started with a guttural, terrified wail in this little-discussed found footage horror movie. As a genre flick this did exactly what is was supposed to do: scared audiences silly and took them on a twisty journey through the already creepy Louisiana backwaters.
The plot is better than you'll find in most found footage yarns - a fake exorcist is summoned into a real possession situation - but its director Daniel Stamm's ability to put together frenetic set pieces at one minute, then ultra tense reveals the next that make this a breathless experience.
From the sun-tinged opening all the way to what remains an unexpected finale, this devilish feature deserves to be ranked alongside Paranormal Activity 3 and The Conjuring as one of the scariest horrors of the 2010s.
