    A 10 of a horror movie!

    saw it years ago, it blew everyone away, (in my theatre at least), after a dismal renny harlin-directed "film" of 2004, this was quite a bounce back to the high standards that the original exorcist set

    A far superior film to beginning, though the ending exorcism is a little, you know, uninteresting, it is still a great film, i recommend it to anyone who loves the odd horror flick

    The only film in the series that does the first one justice.

  1. The film will come to share the video store shelf with Harlin's infinitely stupider rendition soon enough, but it's a shame they couldn't have been released theatrically head-to-head -- a death match-cum-clinical trial that might've supplied some objective stats on how much condescension the American moviegoer actually enjoys.

    Result is hardly a diabolical failure, if not quite a heavenly masterpiece. Schrader's intelligent, quietly subversive pic emphasizes spiritual agony over horror ecstasy, while paying occasional lip-service to the need for scares.

    The strengths of Dominion, however, have been little diminished by its long shelf life and, in fact, may have grown stronger with age.
