I completely agree with your opening statement. That's why I get so frustrated when non film enthusiasts assume adapting a book is such an easy task since it's written, "just do that" they say, but no, it completely removes the artistic element and ideals of the creatives involved. It's going to vary no matter what, even if somehow a product has all the logistical elements required. And your experiment has been done a few times, especially in film schools, I had to do it once myself, and it's pretty fun seeing how it pans out. Ours went from a sort of drama piece about a pair of sisters that developed into a horror comedy about an undead sister ruining her older sisters date lol

The reason Merrin's head burned the possessed Sarah's head was because when he picked up his crucifix, he sees the holy water on the floor and then he dips his finger in the holy water and makes a cross on his forehead. I'd also like to think that the main lesson in the story of The Beginning is that you can find light even in the darkest of places.

Hey Great video, I had just recently re-watched all 5 Exorcist Movies. The Reason Father Merrin burnt Sarah when he put his head to hers is because he had put a cross on his forehead with holy water.

Great review! The movie "beginning" is OK, but the CGI is so horrendous, I don't know why but in horror movies I have less tolerance to bad CGI, like "It" that it's very good but the bad CGI keep taking me out of the movie (balloons, the blood in the bathroom, etc etc) . So many good movies spoiled with bad and unnecessary CGI. I have to check Dominion by the way

Fan of the Exorcist since about 86. When I turned 18 lol. Anyway I only recently watched these 2 prequels and I actually found both enjoyable in their own ways. So that's my take. Hopefully not too controversial lol. Great video Brother. 😊

I feel like Dominion was a bit more consistent however The Beginning felt more satisfying, even if the pops were cheaper, but better. I like both but I think that The Beginning shines a little more.

It felt to me like Beginning got run through a focus group and they took out everything anyone had a problem with, and then the movie got watered down until we ended up with Dominion. It's just bleh and meh in comparison to Beginning. However, there was some good philosophical dialog with Merrin and Rachel in Dominion.

Actually they literally used 90% of the exact same cast. Literally they only changed the Female Doctor Actress, they got rid of the weird bald chinese guy that didn't belong and used a new actor for Fr Francis. Everyone else the soldiers and the site and everything are exactly the same

i just watch The begining version and its much better then Dominion and i have to say I think Joesph was in fact possesed by either god in protection or by pazuzu to make everyone think it was him and not Sarah also when Merrin touched foreheads with sarah remember he put holy water there so thats why she got burned

The Beginning was more entertaining for sure. Dominion, well, it was worth a try. I'm kinda glad The Beginning made the tribe more of a focal point though and they didn't try to make them seem so ungodly.

I think the idea of a prequal was a good idea in principal, although I was disappointed with both Exorcist: the Beginning and Dominion. Too many clichés and too predictable. I wonder what would have been the result had William Peter Blatty had had a hand in a prequal... that said, they were marginally better than Exorcist II.

To be precise - Germany surrendered in may 1945 and Japanese surrendered at the beginning of september 1945 - about 4 months later, its not that long :) you make it sound like Japanese keep fighting for years after war in Europe has ended:) sorry for that comment -I am a big history fan - and i like keep tight to the facts:)

Haven't seen The Beginning yet. Watching that one tonight. Watched Dominion last night. Cgi and boy / demon effects were cringey. But I liked the Rachel character and her acting, and thought the whole arc of Fr. Merrin losing and regaining his faith to be done fairly well. Not nearly as good as the original Exorcist but not a sh*t show either.
