Question:

Is The Exorcist: The Beginning a bad or a good movie and why?

i like it becuse its so hardcore!!!!!


Answers:

...although "Exorcist: The Beginning" is a very well-made film, and reflects what the filmmakers pretty much thought that the audiences wanted, there in fact, lies the problem; the film is undeniably exploitive in trying to anticipate what the devoted audiences of the original "Exorcist" wanted to see...which is supposedly many of the visual elements that made the original film so great and horrific...

...now, may I ask, why would we want to see the same thing, all over again!!!

The alternate prequel to "The Exorcist", entitled "Dominion: A Prequel to the Exorcist", takes a much more psychological and somewhat disturbingly dramatic approach to the initial encounter between the possessing demon, and the character of Father Merrin (despite the climatic battle between priest and demon, being nowhere near as legendary and death-defying, as original vocalized in the original film; remember the line, "...the exorcism went on for days; it damn near killed him!!"), and made for a much more compelling, interesting, and ultimately, a much better film.

All due credit to director Renny Harlin, for giving us a most reflectively exploitive and entertaining film, but director Paul "Cat People" Schrader's rendition was definately the better film.
