Dominion is the prequel film to the exorcist,it tells a important part of the exorcist story about how father Merrin (the priest who helps in the exorcism) comes to be experienced at exorcisms, it tellsof him as a young man who is a missionary in Africa after becoming disolusioned in the war, interested in archaeology he gets involved in a dig site where there is a buried temple hes confused as the temple appears to have been buried straight after it was made ,strange events start happening and soon father Merrin is forced to recognise a evil at work.
Dominion is definatley not as good as the exorcist, its not dark and scary but it does fill in an important part of the story, after I watched this film I watched exorcist again and it made more sense to me quite a few times father Merrins name is mentioned before he even appears and I loved this film for that reason , however this film does have some random acts of violent which seem to happen from nowhere and not fit well with the way they have chosen to tell this story, the special effects are quite good and chichi is quite scary as a sick little boy, but overall this film isn't a patch on the exorcist merely a little more information about the story

Good review of the film itself, although I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
