Creepy demon movies with found footage!

The Last Exorcism Part II:

Story:

Nell finds refuge in a shelter, only to discover that the demon Abalam is still pursuing her.

Review:

With a Metascore of 33 and an IMDb rating of 5.1, I wasn't expecting this to be overly good, but Ed-Gass Donnelly and company did a surprisingly good job continuing the originally mediocre series.

What I liked the most:

1. A somewhat original possession story.

Despite some cliches, the story manages to keep its originality, maintaining a unique and engrossing story about Nell's struggles with demons.

2. Nell.

Nell's character is a perfect balance of good and bad, making her character very easy to connect to in a very disturbing story

What I liked the least:

1. The ties between the original movie and this one.

Part II did a great job, but it was partially ruined because of its connection to the first part. This would have been even better as an original movie instead of a continuation.

Who I Recommend The Last Exorcism Part II to:

Those looking for a different demonic horror film.

Sinister

Story: A struggling writer moves his family into the house of the murders he's investigating. The truth behind the murders puts his and his family's life in danger.

Review:

For a paranormal film, Sinister is amazing. It's an intriguing horror film with enough scares and creepy dread building to keep it going. I'm going to cut this short and say this movie is worth watching, especially if you're a horror fan. I thoroughly enjoyed Sinister.
