Exorcist Series Episode 5
When Warner Bros. saw Paul Schrader’s completed Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist, they weren’t satisfied. The studio shelved the film and started over, bringing in director Renny Harlin to create a new version of the same story. With the same setting, cast, and basic plot elements, Harlin’s Exorcist: The Beginning became the official prequel released in theaters. But with two very different films born from the same script, which version tells Father Merrin’s first battle with evil more effectively? On this episode of Now Playing Podcast, Arnie, Stuart, and Brock compare the studio-approved prequel with Schrader’s original vision. Donate to Now Playing Podcast to hear the review and find out which film comes out on top.
