I like both versions of Exorcist IV about the same... It's too bad that a clever editor couldn't have taken the best bits from both films and put them together into a co-directed, successful whole.

"Dominion" isn't outright horror, and a welcome relief from the days where shots are shorter than the hairs on our heads.

After 32 years, two sequels, and two prequels, The Exorcist remains an impossible act to follow.

I can't call it a success, but it is certainly an outstanding failure, an attempt to broaden the horizons of a stale genre with real discussion of the matters that consume its maker.

Neither a masterpiece nor a failure, it will probably appeal mostly to those with knowledge of its death and miraculous resurrection.

Exorcism aside, Dominion is well-acted, handsomely photographed and hauntingly scored.

It's true "Dominion" is a better prequel than "The Beginning", but in the end, that's not really saying much in either case.

Schrader's intelligent, quietly subversive pic emphasizes spiritual agony over horror ecstasy, while paying occasional lip-service to the need for scares.
May 20, 2005
The Schrader variation is awfully dull, with scant evidence of the sort of things that make horror movies attractive -- like mounting suspense and spine-tingling creepiness and, oh yeah, the element of horror.
May 20, 2005
To be fair, Schrader's version fails in ways that Harlin's dumbed-down version didn't.

It's a good, thoughtful horror picture -- and thiiis close to being a very good one.

The frights, the scares, they just weren't there.
