The much-maligned sequel to The Last Exorcism is hitting DVD and Blu-ray this June, and it will be home to an unrated version of the movie. Will said footage be enough for The Last Exorcism Part II to win back its fanbase?
From the Press Release
From producer Eli Roth (The Last Exorcism, Hostel series) and the producers of Dawn of the Dead comes the terrifying supernatural thriller THE LAST EXORCISM PART II, available June 18th on unrated Blu-ray™ and DVD with UltraViolet™ from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. In this pulse-pounding sequel to 2010’s horror hit The Last Exorcism, the evil force that once possessed a young woman is back to prove that “the last exorcism” was only the beginning. Ashley Bell returns as Nell, the role that earned her an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress and an MTV Movie Award nomination in the original film. This shiver-inducing follow up finds her back in the relative safety of civilization, living in the city of New Orleans.
Just as she begins the difficult process of starting a new life, the evil force that once possessed her is back with other, unimaginably horrific plans. Co-starring in the film is Spencer Treat Clark (The Last House on the Left), Andrew Sensenig (I Love You, Philip Morris), Judd Lormand (The Hunger Games), Muse Watson (I Know What You Did Last Summer 1&2) and Julia Garner (The Perks of Being a Wallflower).
The unrated Blu-ray and DVD features unseen footage too frightening for theatres, a commentary track with director Ed Gass-Donnelly and producer Eli Roth, and three featurettes, including Hair Salon Scare – The Last Exorcism Part II goes Viral, Nell’s Story and Shooting in New Orleans.
THE LAST EXORCISM PART II was directed by Ed Gass-Donnelly (Small Town Murder Songs), and written by Gass-Donnelly and Damien Chazelle (Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench). It was produced by Eli Roth (Hostel series), Marc Abraham (Dawn of the Dead), Eric Newman (Dawn of the Dead) and Thomas Bliss (The Last Exorcism).
