Exorcist: The Beginning
What a bloody, gory mess... both visually and literally. This prequel is set in Kenya, 1949. Father Merrin from the original movie is trapped in this confused collection of horror moments taking shape in the form of hyenas, crows, flies, maggots, and possessed souls. Then add some nightmares of Nazis to the mix. Rated R for the expected vile language (the devil made them do it) and the necessary blood and gore in such a film. Someone should call a real priest to exorcise the demons from this film.
Alien gives it 1 ½ prepossessed stars out of 4.
