With the American Film Market in Santa Monica now a thing of the past, little pieces off horror-related goodness are still trickling in from the festival -- such is the case with this bit of news regarding the official plot synops for the upcoming sequel to THE LAST EXORCISM.
The Last Exorcism II: The Beginning of the End continues where the first film left off, "teenage Nell Sweetzer (Ashley Bell) is found dirty and terrified in the woods having just escaped a demon ritual in which a cult helped her give birth to a demon baby. Confused and scared, Nell is examined by doctors but she doesn’t remember much about the previous few months except that as a result of everything, her family is now dead. She is moved into Davreaux – a girls’ halfway house in New Orleans, where she will try to put her life back together with the help of the therapist, Frank Merle. She even begins to date a boy named Chris and starts a job at a local hotel.
But something doesn’t feel right to Nell. She is being sought after by the demon who possessed her in the first LAST EXORCISM. It wants Nell, but in a different way than before…"
Eli Roth & Strike Entertainment bring us an even more terrifying and bigger scale sequel to THE LAST EXORCISM that grossed $70 million worldwide.
It looks like Nell Sweetzer’s last exorcism was not foolproof.
She is back… and so are her demons.
As previously reported, Ed Gass-Donnelly (This Beautiful City) will direct, and the sequel will be going for an R-rating (as opposed to the PG-13 of the original).
