Review of Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist (2005) by Andrew G — 12 Jul 2016

Dominion is basically the same movie as The Beginning, except for a few things. Dominion was actually made before The Beginning, but the studio thought it wouldn't be successful, so they gave the job to another director to make The Beginning, when The Beginning failed miserably, they gave another chance to Dominion and released it the following year.

Is it any better? It is a bit better, but it's still far from a great movie. The story is the same, except in the ending rather than Rachel/Sarah being the possessed, it's Cheche, a character which wasn't at all in The Beginning and frankly, I prefer this ending, even though it's still far from being a good ending.

Most of the actors are the same, so the acting is the same. I also liked the direction in this movie more and it seems a lot like an 80s movie at times because of it. I really don't know what to say about this movie since I already basically reviewed it.

The CGI is still bad, they didn't improve in that territory. All in all, a better movie than The Beginning, but it still suffers from most of the problems The Beginning suffered from, too. I'd recommend this movie over The Beginning.
