Following on from the success of the original, which turned a .8m. budget into just shy of m. at the box office, The Last Exorcism Part II will be hitting the big screen this spring with a new dose of possessed horror for the masses.
With two months to go before its arrival, the first poster for the sequel has debuted over at Yahoo Movies, and is just as great as the original’s.
“In the continuing story, Nell Sweetzer is found terrified and alone in rural Louisiana. When she returns to the relative safety of New Orleans, Nell finds that she can’t remember large portions of the previous months, but she does know that she is the last surviving member of her family. As Nell begins the difficult process of starting a new life, the evil force that once possessed her comes back with terrible new plans for her, meaning that her last exorcism was just the beginning.”
Ashley Bell is back once more, reprising her role as Nell from the original film, and this time around will be starring alongside Spencer Treat Clark (Much Ado About Nothing), Julia Garner (Martha Marcy May Marlene), and Muse Watson (Prison Break).
Ed Gass-Donnelly (Small Town Murder Songs) is taking over the helm in place of Daniel Stamm, directing from a script he co-wrote with Damien Chazelle (Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench).
The awesome king of horror, Eli Roth (Hostel), is once more serving as producer alongside producing trio Marc Abraham (Dawn of the Dead), Thomas A. Bliss (In Time), and Eric Newman (Children of Men).
The Last Exorcism Part II will be released in the US on 1st March, with its UK release date set slightly later on 15th March. For now, here’s the first poster, which you can click through to enlarge.
