Dominion : Prequel To The Exorcist (2005) 6/10

Starring : Stellan Skarsgard, Gabriel Mann, Clara Bellar, Ralph Brown
Director : Paul Schrader
Running Time : 112 mins

Following a massacre by the Nazis that he could do nothing about, Father Lankester Merrin (Starsgard) travels to East Africa to start a new life at the local parish, but soon he is faced with more evil when he comes into contact with the evil demon Pazuzu for the first time.

This is almost exactly the same as Exorcist : The Beginning, with some minor casting and character changes. Unlike the other version, the scary moments are completely hammy and have barely any relevance to the plot. There are some very unusual sequences with white faced people who I guess are meant to be scary but, in my opinion, this really didn't work as well as The Beginning, and some of the effects only look half done.
