Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist

Originally set for release in 2004, this ambitious prequel, directed by "Taxi Driver" scribe Paul Schrader, was shelved in favor of Renny Harlin's ostensibly more commercial-friendly reshoot. In Schrader's version, Father Merrin's initial run-in with the evil Pazuzu at a post-WWII East African archeological dig is portrayed as a darker, more cerebral thriller. Stellan Skarsgård, Gabriel Mann, Clara Bellar, Ralph Brown star. 116 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish.
