10 Horror Movies That Lied To You In The Title

10. The Last Exorcism (2010)

Riding high on the mid-late noughties wave of found footage features that began with Paranormal Activity (2007), The Last Exorcism promised a new breed of exorcism cinema, with an impressive future-star cast in Caleb Landry Jones and Patrick Fabian.

The film follows the story of cleric Cotton Marcus (Fabian), who is riddled with remorse after years of conning the devout. Cotton decides to expose his own work on film, captured by a pair of documentarians, and travels to a Louisiana farm, where a young woman -- Nell (Ashley Bell) -- is apparently possessed by a demonic entity. No points for guessing whether this one's real or not.

Cotton has to draw upon his faith in order to try and protect Nell and himself from the onslaught of a bona fide demonic presence, the documentarians are killed, and a hellspawn is, well, spawned. The End.

Except it's not -- The Last Exorcism was followed by the unironically titled The Last Exorcism Part II in 2013. Ditching the found footage format, the film dragged itself over everything that made the previous movie good and proved that studios will make anything if they think audiences will buy it. And they kind of did -- with $25 million made at the box office against a $5 million budget -- but thankfully not enough for a third "last" exorcism.
