Description
 
In a complicated turn of events, Warner Bros. gave director Renny Harlin the green light to complete the Exorcist prequel that was originally handed to filmmaker Paul Schrader. Harlin's version was released theatrically in 2004, after being deemed more commercially viable. However, this version--the Paul Schrader-directed feature--is arguably more successful. A darkly fascinating piece of atmospheric horror, Schrader's film eschews blood and gore in favor of chilling psychological suggestion. The plot unfolds in the same manner as Harlin's Exorcist: The Beginning, with Stellan Skarsgard starring as a young priest who encounters the Exorcist demon for the first time while on a trip to a remote region of East Africa. "The movie is drenched in atmosphere and dread, as we'd expect from Schrader, but it also has spiritual weight and texture, boldly confronting the possibility that Satan may be active in the world" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times).
