Exorcist is a classic, Exorcist II is boring, Exorcist III is fun and different, and Exorcist: Beginning is a flop.

Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist is a 2005 American supernatural horror film directed by Paul Schrader and written by William Wisher Jr. and Caleb Carr.The film serves as an alternative prequel to The Exorcist (1973). The film traces the story of Father Lankester Merrin (Stellan Skarsgard) back to his first encounter with the Devil in post-WW II Africa. It's interesting that WB finally released this title - although a limited release - after shelving it then shelling out the money to have another director (an arguably lesser director) do it all over again. Two British soldiers attempting to loot some precious stones from the church are then found dead the next day (one without the head; the other crucified to the altar head downward).

Years before Father Lankester Merrin helped save Regan MacNeil's soul, he first encounters the demon Pazuzu in East Africa. An escort who caters to Washington, D.C.'s society ladies becomes involved in a murder case. The movie is drenched in atmosphere and dread, as we'd expect from …
Merrin rushes back to the infirmary to wear Francis' vestments, and goes back to the church to begin the exorcism. Despite the Christian symbolism used in the murders and the testimony of Jomo (Determined to stop the 'Christian evil' from spreading, Jomo breaks into the mission school and slaughters Francis' students—Emekwi's two sons—before he is shot on the spot by British soldiers. Despite Schrader having faithfully directed the script the studio had developed, Morgan Creek (in Schrader's estimation) had a case of "buyer's remorse" upon seeing the result in rough cut form, believing that the film was too cerebral and lacking in overt "horror" scenes that would be expected from the franchise. A lawyer takes on a negligent homicide case involving a priest who performed an exorcism on a young girl. It's been a few years since I saw Beginning, so I don't remember too much about it (except, obviously, that it was forgettable). This Paul Schrader version is wonderful.

William Peter Blatty's director's cut of "The Exorcist III" which was thought to be lost. I prefer the Schrader version, certainly, but you know what? When a 12 year-old girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two priests to save her. Not in the Schrader version, which trusts evil to be intrinsically fascinating and not in need of f/x enhancement. Specifically, Schrader was not given enough money to conduct ADR, to bring cinematographer Vittorio Storaro back to perform the film's color timing (forcing him and Silano to approximate it themselves), nor to commission an original score for the entire film. Bidding farewell to Rachel and Cheche, now serving as Rachel's assistant at the infirmary, Merrin, who has regained his faith and is an active priest once more, leaves for Rome. Paul Schrader's "Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist" does something risky and daring in this time of jaded horror movies: It takes evil seriously. On their way back, they find corpses of hyenas (who have appeared out of season) being eaten by a herd of cattle. As fear descends upon everyone in the camp, it becomes apparent that a young disabled boy, Cheche, is possessed by the devil forcing Merrin to re-examine his own beliefs.
Odd to see the young priest and the doctor occupying the same rooms but played by different people. At the discovery of his ability to work miracles, Juvenal becomes a media sensation, but now he's prone to those who want to exploit him.

As Merrin recommences the exorcism, a supernatural With the demon driven out of Derati, life returns to normal and the British detachment leave. I hate to side with bottom line-obsessed studio executives against ‘70s-era cinema giant Paul Schrader, but Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist—the film famously shelved by Morgan Creek and then re-shot, with a new cast and script, by Renny Harlin as Exorcist: The Beginning—turns out to be as dreadfully boring, ridiculous, and pompous as rumored. Francis notices that this particular church is built in such a way as to restrain something beneath it. He is haunted by what he was forced to do in his native Holland during World War II. Follows three priests dealing with cases of a demonic presence targeting a family and a foster home.
