At the Movies with Peter Travers: ‘The Last Exorcism,’ ‘Piranha 3D’
In this week’s segment of At the Movies, Peter Travers discusses two new films involving Hostel director Eli Roth.
The Last Exorcism, which Roth produced, concerns a skeptical preacher who invites a documentary team to shoot … his last exorcism. “You’re not seeing a lot of violence,” explains Travers, “you’re just feeling it in your bones.” In the bloody but hilarious Piranha 3D
, meanwhile, Roth appears as the emcee of a wet T-shirt contest. The movie has had such cult success in its first week that a sequel has already been planned. For more on Roth, check out his recent visit to Rolling Stone
for Travers’ Off the Cuff series.
Meanwhile, Travers want to know: “What really scares us and when did it begin?” For Travers, Night of the Living Dead sparked a jones for zombie moves, which continues through films like 28 Days Later. Tell Travers your scary movies by writing to @petertravers on Twitter.
