The New ‘LAST EXORCISM PART II’ Poster Isn’t All It’s Cracked Up To Be

Did you hear that sound? No, it’s not the sound of Ashley Bell’s spine cracking into a back bend – though that may be the case as well.  The sound I’m referring to is the sound of a lot of horror fans laughing at the sight of this new poster that looks like something from the ad campaign for Scary Movie 5 or the Wayan’s A Haunted House.  I get that her body and shadow form the number “2” (yawn) but that still doesn’t excuse that this poster is pretty generic and not the least bit threatening.  I actually hate to write this because I was such a BIG fan of Daniel Stamm’s original scare-fest.  My only hope is that this poster isn’t an indication of the generic thrills that might be in store for us.  We will find out when The Last Exorcism Part II hits theaters March 1, 2013.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
