Review of Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist (2005) by Paul J — 09 Jun 2012
Schrader's prequel was ambitious and had great potential. Sadly, it didn't quite work out. First off, he was fired during the filming. They replaced him with Renny Harlin who made a significantly different version.
Finally, when Schrader was allowed to return to finish the film, it seems they ran out of money. It looks relatively cheap at times. However, Schrader's cut has more political weight and feels more artsy.
A couple of his choices almost make for a better cut but, overall, Harlin's is a much better HORROR film. Which kills me to say because I respect Schrader much more.
