Horror buffs will surely be compelled to compare and contrast Dominion with Exorcist: The Beginning, two films weirdly linked by film history. Director Paul Schrader shot Dominion only to find studio bosses underwhelmed by its horror aspects, at which point Renny Harlin was hired to direct another take on the subject with the same lead actor, setting, and similar storyline. That became the 2004 theatrical release Exorcist: The Beginning.
As expected, the Schrader version has more tortured religiosity and visual poetry than Harlin's cheesier (but admittedly gripping) re-do. Father Merrin (Stellan Skarsgard) carries his guilt from the Nazi occupation to a remote African archaeological dig, where a mysteriously buried church has been uncovered. Strange stuff happens nearby, and a fervent young priest (good performance by Gabriel Mann) parries spiritual points with the now-doubting Merrin. Some of the ideas are strong and the sun-and-sand cinematography by the great Vittorio Storaro is often stunning. As beautiful as the film is to look at, it must be admitted that the climax is disappointingly flat, the leading lady (Clara Bellar) is a washout, and one begins to yearn for the occasional genre shock of the kind Schrader was able to conjure up in his remake of Cat People. If you're an Exorcist fan, watch it for its serious treatment of Merrin's crisis, which ties in to his character in the 1973 original. --Robert Horton

It's a must see to any Exorcist fan, and has never been released in Brazil.

Schrader's "Dominion" has been misunderstood, as evidenced by the public reaction to it. To my mind, this is one of his greatest accomplishments as a screenwriter and, along with "The Exorcist 3", the best addition to the "Exorcist" trilogy. (Renny Harlin's hilarious "Beginning" doesn't deserve even one viewing.)
Stellen Skarsgard gives a believable, serious performance as Father Lancaster Merrin, an exceptional priest who will eventually have to give his life fighting an evil which ... Read More

Dominion is the better prequel to the Exorcist story line. There is no bad language. I am tired of viewing films that have profanity occupying 10% or more of the total movie dialogue. The screen writers spared us the "potty mouth" on this film.
The movie also does a decent job of depicting the reality of spiritually dark, demonic forces and their harmful effects on human beings. I watched it over and over again. It gives a great portrayal of how Father Merrin becomes "The Exorcist."

This version (Dominion) is by far the more superior of the two releases (i.e. 'The Beginning' being the first release by a different director). It didn't have me squirming like I and III did, but that wasn't the intent. I thought it was a good story about how evil slowly works its way into unreasonable situations and transforms them into something undeniable.
Budding film makers should see both 'Dominion' and 'The Begining', for a great example of what a quality director can do with the same ... Read More

I bought this film the same day I bought the Renny Harlin version. Sadly enough the Renny Harlin version was better. The Harlin version was more of a horror/violence/action film, when this version was more of a Lifetime Movie of the week. Neither film is a masterpiece, but avoid this one.
