This movie did not suck as badly as I thought it would! OK, that is faint praise, but reading other reviews of Exorcist-The Beginning, one would think this was the worst movie ever made, and I have seen a lot worse movies.
Not super scary, but a few jolting moments. Not real smart, but few horror movies are. This movie is a purported prequel to The Exorcist, and introduces us to a young Father Merrin, and his first encounter with the demon that would later scare the crap out of everyone by taking over Linda Blair.
I do remember that there are two versions of this, one released from the original director, and this one. Both were badly reviewed, but I may need to rent the other just for comparison.
Would not recommend this flick, but if you get it for free, it is watchable.
