The 2010 horror movie The Last Exorcism has been criticized for relying more on jump scares than a solid storyline. The film, shot in a found-footage style, narrates an exorcist's last work, but the story appears jumbled and shallow. Although at times the scares work rather well, the blend of scant plot development and incoherence cancels out the final effect for viewers, leaving little more than an insipid experience for the horror genre lovers.
