Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)
It is a pity this movie is so underrated, but I think the main reason
for that is the fact that people judge the movie before seeing it, so
they won't watch it objectively. Another reason perhaps is the
adventurous style of the film, but it is acceptable because father
Merrin is younger than in the original film. The best actor to portray
a young father Merrin is certainly the wonderful Stellan Skarsgård,
what a stylish performance, this superb actor gives such a perfect
image of how the main character would have been at the moment in his
life when he lost his faith. The two other most important roles by
Izabella Scorupco and James D'Arcy are excellent, the best supporting
role is performed by Alan Ford. The madness and the confusion in the
final battle between the Turkana and the Brithish are convincingly
brought to screen. As for the crew members, I was very impressed by
Trevor Rabin his soundtrack, the production design of Stefano Maria
Ortolani and the magnificent cinematography by Vittorio Storaro.
Conclusion: if you watch this film objectively than you will probably
enjoy it. All though sometimes over the top, Renny Harlin has made a
great prequel to the original one, with some very memorable scenes.
