The Nazi Merrin was able to undergo a harsh experience as he was forced to choose ten of his group for immediate execution. Now, it seems that Merrin is still an emotionally broken man and trying to undertake a new mission by carrying out archaeological excavations in British-run East Africa.
It's a good, thoughtful horror picture -- and thiiis close to being a very good one.

After 32 years, two sequels, and two prequels, The Exorcist remains an impossible act to follow.

I can't call it a success, but it is certainly an outstanding failure, an attempt to broaden the horizons of a stale genre with real discussion of the matters that consume its maker.

I like both versions of Exorcist IV about the same... It's too bad that a clever editor couldn't have taken the best bits from both films and put them together into a co-directed, successful whole.
Exorcism aside, Dominion is well-acted, handsomely photographed and hauntingly scored.
