Reviews:

The Last Exorcist takes itself perhaps too seriously for its own good and, for me, was an unsuccessful attempt. Its grasp for ground in the supernatural horror subgenre doesn’t quite work, and it’s unfortunately predictable enough to risk leaving viewers bored. Ivens’ performance elevates the film, but one performance alone is rarely enough to warrant a recommendation.” Killer Horror Critic

“While there’s some effort put into a few of the make-up effects, everything else screams low-budget horror movie – especially the score – and even the Danny Trejo cameo, which I’m sure is there to put eyes on the movie, actually makes me think it’s a desperate attempt to make people watch something that has not much else going for it. Exorcism films are rarely originally but this one isn’t entertaining either.” Nerdly

“If the film at least had been shot with some flair it could have been an entertaining mess. But everything feels flat and uninspired. The girl’s mother killing a man in front of them is dull. The guy bursting into flames at the funeral is laughable. Jo in priestly robes having to interrupt her sister’s exorcism for a martial arts battle with a demonic terrorist doesn’t even work on a WTF level.” Voices from the Balcony
