''The Last Exorcism'' has received generally positive reviews from critics, but [[Critical Dissonance|polarizing reviews]] among general audiences.

-----

 

* [[Based on a Great Big Lie]]: Cotton tries to prove that exorcisms and demon possessions are this.

* {{spoiler|[[Religion of Evil]]: Revealed in the last few moments of the movie to be the culprit.}}

* [[Spotting the Thread]]: How Cotton realizes Nell {{spoiler|isn't genuinely possessed. A real demon would never use the phrase "blowing job" as a term for oral sex; a naive, home-schooled 16-year old, however, would.}}

* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Cotton, who is a [[Hollywood Atheist]] and showman that comes to find evidence of genuine supernatural activity. Subverted in the last fifteen minutes of the film, when {{spoiler|he finds that he is not dealing with [[Demonic Possession]] (which is implied to have been at least partially psychosomatic), but a cult summoning something heavily implied to be the [[Satan|big bad himself]].}}
