After receiving a letter from a farmer asking for help in driving out the devil, he meets the farmer's afflicted daughter.[6][7] The film received positive reviews from critics and was a box office success, grossing more than $70 million against a $1.8 million budget.

A sequel, The Last Exorcism Part II, was released on March 1, 2013.
