Due to its success at the box office, The Last Exorcism wasn't really the last and we'll be seeing a sequel next year. While we've already reported on some of the plot details, but here's a new official synopsis from AFM:
Via Collider: "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.
Continuing where the first film left off, teenage Nell Sweetzer 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…"
The official title being used right now is The Last Exorcism II: The Beginning of the End, but we wouldn't be surprised if it changes by the time it hits theaters. The film was directed by Ed Gass-Donnelly (Small Town Murder Songs) with Ashley Bell making her return as Nell Sweetzer. There's no release date yet and this movie is said to have been designed with an R-rating in mind. Here's a promo image (thanks BD) that was being shown off at AFM last month:
