[edit] This is the better version of the prequel

I was able to watch this film first on HBO an it was really original, had mystery, depth and more believable characters. When I watched the Dominion prequel (I thought it was the same film), I was really disappointed. Why did they remove the good scenes and characters and why did they even bother making this when the first prequel was superior in every way? Also, the CG in Dominion was so obvious (e.g. hyenas which looked more like monsters), it felt like it was a shame that the film ever got produced.

Yes, because you got it backwards. Even though the other Dominion was released second, it was the original version. The studio feared it would not do well, and hired Schrader to remake it. He used some of the same footage and eventually came up with The Beginning, with more action and horror added. But it did not do as well as the studio hoped, and they later decided to release the original also, under the title Dominion" Prequel to the Exorcist. So it was the remake that was actually released first. I know, what a mess! ShirleyPartridge (talk) 06:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
