The Last Exorcism Page #3

Synopsis: In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the evangelical Reverend Cotton Marcus was raised by his father to be a preacher. He agrees that the filmmaker Iris Reisen and the cameraman Daniel Moskowitz make a documentary about his life. Cotton tells that when his wife Shanna Marcus had troubles in the delivery of their son Justin, he prioritized the doctor help to God and since then he questions his faith. Further, he tells that exorcisms are frauds but the results are good for the believers because they believe it is true. When Cotton is summoned by the farmer Louis Sweetzer to perform an exorcism in his daughter Nell, Cotton sees the chance to prove to the documentary crew what he has just told. They head to Ivanwood and they have a hostile reception from Louis's son Caleb. Cotton performs the exorcism in Nell, exposing his tricks to the camera, but sooner they learn that the dysfunctional Sweetzer family has serious problems.

A little boy named Victor. Erm...

His name is Victor Turoy from Harrisberg, Texas.

This little boy was autistic.

and he was suffocated to death.

During an exorcism,

With well meaning people trying to

get this demon outta this child.

I remember that article and at the same time...

Justin was about this boy's age. And

I started having this...

recurring nightmare.

Where I was the exorcist and I was wrapping

a plastic bag around my own son's head.

Watching my son die everynight, breaking out in cold sweat.

Not long after that

I was in there washing dishes.

He came out of the office and he had this

story about the new Pope opening an exorcism academy.

And he was visibly shaken.

And he said:
"Do you know how

many people this will hurt? "

That's really when I decided... that... that,

Well! I'm done.

I not participanting... anyway what I wanna do?

is expose exorcisms for the scam that that really is.

And that's why we're doing this.

So what if I could expose for what it really is.

and save one kid from a plastic bag wrapped around his face.

That sounds like God's work.

Well! I thought how we'll do this. We will open an envelope.

and we will follow that request to wherever that takes us.

and I'll let you follow me.

And that way you can film all the behind the scenes.

my exorcism.

Pick the one on top!

From Ivanwood, Louisiana.

They're basically the same.

They're a whole bunch of people out there,who are

definitely convinced...

that they're possessed or possibly

some sort of crop failure or...

something wrong with the livestock.

I feel that I am building up a case of possession

by the Devil himself...

My livestock is being slaughtered nightly.

Little doubt who's being doing the ....

Looks like we'll going to Ivanwood.

Your daddy's pants look like satanic.

Break a leg! Love you.

- Give me a hug?

Bye guys! Love ya.

Where's amazing down here. Got

a real unique feel.

Nothing like it in any other part of the country.

Some of the plantation here have been standing

over hundreds of years.

This is the only part of the country that

I'm been thought... has six different flags. So...

there's a mix of culture and superstition

and folklore down here.

You got Voodoo. You got early Catholic's,

Pentecostalism.

all the different beliefs...

rubbing up against one another.

And they all looking at the saviour. They're

all looking for the answer.

There is a lot of illiteracy

and a lot of poverty.

And... between that and the "stop in time"

feel of the place.

It's like a... suitable breeding ground for...

Demons and evil.

I can't fight the devil

without armor!

Fraid that's a little...

Tight down here.

Sorry, sorry.
