5.0 out of 5 starsI liked it.
By Mr. A. P. Venables on 9 April 2006
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
At one point, while walking around at night time, the character of Father Merrin knocks his head on a sign. He doesn't curse, complain, nurse his head or hit the offending object. Instead he turns, and holds the sign, stopping it from swinging. Instantly we know a little more about the character of Father Merrin and how he interacts with his world.
This version of the Prequel to the Exorcist cares about its characters to such an extent that the film feels like a throw back to the cinema of 1970s. All the characters are superbly drawn and wonderfully acted. Nobody has a moment when they are not in character.
What might jar you out of the story are the special effects. The CGI in this film is ropey as hell with some key scenes lacking polish.
There are some great images in this film and it also has some interesting themes that are explored in a mature way. Though it does have scary moments, it doesn't fit into the horror genre the way it is at the moment; this isn't Saw or Wolf Creek. Like I said before it feels like this film has come out of different era.
If you go in with an open mind you will be enriched by this mature and unfashionable movie.

3.0 out of 5 starsA story too dangerous to tell?
By C. Quinn on 30 Mar. 2006
Format: DVD
The Schrader v. Harlin debate will probably run and run, because frankly neither movie (this or Harlin's "Exorcist: The Beginning") is good enough to win out finally. The odd thing about the whole story is that -- as another reviewer has mentioned -- while you can see why the studio wasn't happy with "Dominion", it hardly warranted a total reshoot on the strength (or weakness) of the director's work alone. I think there's more to it than that...

"Dominion" is a sober, well-scripted movie with some strong performances (Stellan Skarsgaad as Father Merrin (the character played by Max Von Sydow in ther original movie) and Ralph Brown's British sergeant stand out), mostly understated. It's creepy rather than outright scary, and while Schrader handles most things well he isn't up to building the crescendo the finale requires. As others have pointed out, the effects and the score are still unfinished, which isn't really the director's fault. (I have a feeling the studio may even squeeze a "Dominion: Special Edition" out of this if there's enough interest.) There are even a couple of fluffed dialogue lines left in. All of this unfinished business does somewhat deflate whatever tension the director has built.

But did the film's flaws demand a total reshoot? Plenty of movies have been more or less successfully salvaged by a second director shooting action sequences, and Harlin's remake isn't so great as to remove all doubt that it was the right way to go. I think the trouble was actually with the script, which in this version can be read as thinly-veiled attack on Christianity -- not what you'd expect from an Exorcist movie and certainly not what William Peter Blatty, who still presumably owns the intellectual copyright to the overall concept, would approve.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsThe serious one....
By Corey Newcombe on 16 May 2015
Format: DVD
At an archaeological dig in Africa, Father Lankester Merrin has his first encounter with the devil incarnate.

Merrin has focused on archaeology, rather than spiritual matters and is intrigued when a church buried beneath the sand is excavated. Inside, he finds many signs of devil worship.

To a great extent, he has lost his faith and is particularly haunted by events during the Nazi occupation and the impact of his decisions had on his parishioners.

When the devil occupies the body of a young patient in the village hospital, Merrin risks his life to save him....

So this is the other version, the one i was actually excited about more than Harlins predictable, cheesy, horror that made it to the big screen? Paul Schrader has an amazing talent, but none of it is shown in this lame duck.

I don't really care about the connotations about westerns or the fact that this has some very good performances from the leads, the fact of the matter is that the story is very poor, and it's just boring to the point of wanting to turn it off.

Warners should have left the Exorcist franchise well alone after the first, but they had to keep getting that little bit of money from it by re-releasing the same movie or making other versions.

the one version of this was for the young horror/gore obsessed teen, who is used to movies like Haloween Resurrection and want to just forget about everything for ninety minutes.

This version is supposed to be for real lovers of film, and it's just offencive stuff. probably the first subliminal major film release for two different versions of a film for two different classes of people.

Give me Harlins version any day, at least i can laugh at how bad that is.

3.0 out of 5 starsAn intelligent film from an erudite director
By technoguy VINE VOICE on 14 Sept. 2010
Format: DVD
This film,prequel to The Exorcist,is a character-driven vehicle with philosophical intentions rather than a schlock-horror(no character development/much CGI!).You don't jump up or start out of your seat.Is evil imminent in our nature or is it a force in the world?"Man can choose good or evil.I chose good.Evil happened anyway".Is that a devil I see or a demon?Father Lankester Merrin(Skarsgaard,excellent) is a man whose faith has lapsed,is on hold,since he was forced under the evils of Nazism(the early scene sets up the premis) to question his faith.

He becomes an archaeologist in East Africa,where a Byzantine Christian church is uncovered,buried by the desert sands.Why was it buried?The church has been built upon a temple for pagan worshippers,who kneel to demon Pazuzu.There is a Polish Jewish nurse,Rachel Leslno(Bellar), out there who works alongside the missionaries to help the natives.Father Francis is a catholic priest assigned to the dig to watch Merrin.The British military are there to keep order,finely acted by Brown and Wadham,the Sgt.Major and Major of the troops contingent..As the temple gets uncovered we get a series of bizarre happenings which creates opposition between the customs of the African locals and the British,who see them as `savages'.

The Turkana tribal elders want the church/temple complex covered up again as they castigate the evil spread of Christianity.Cheche(Billy Crawford)a crippled outcast,strangely becomes healed as the evil forces spread.Father Francis mistakes him for the new Messiah,dueto his self-healing at a fast rate.Cheche sees himself as `perfect',an androgynous figure like a young Mephistopheles.The elders want Cheche and the Father killed.Children in a school are slaughtered by a Shaman,British troops are sacrificed.Read more ›
