The Beginning, it looks good.

more info here


Synopsis:
Father Lankester Merrin thinks that he has glimpsed the face of Evil. In the years following World War II, Merrin (STELLAN SKARSGÅRD) is relentlessly haunted by memories of the unspeakable brutality perpetrated against the innocent people of his parish. In the wake of all he has seen, both his faith in his fellow man and the Almighty have deserted him. He can no longer honestly call himself a man of God.

Merrin has traveled far from his native Holland in a desperate attempt to escape the horrors that he witnessed there. While drifting through Cairo, he is approached by a collector of rare antiquities to join a British archeological excavation in the remote Turkana region of Kenya. They have unearthed a Christian Byzantine church in inexplicably pristine condition – as if it had been buried on the day it was completed. The collector wants Merrin, an Oxford-educated archeologist, to find an ancient relic hidden within the church before the British discover it.

But beneath the church, something much older sleeps, waiting to be awoken. Madness descends upon the local villagers and the contingent of British soldiers sent to guard the excavation. Merrin watches helplessly as the atrocities of war are repeated against another innocent village – atrocities he had prayed never to see again. The blood of innocents flows freely on the East African plain, and the horror has only just begun.

In the place where Evil was born, Merrin will finally see its true face.

Warner Bros. Pictures presents, a Morgan Creek production, Exorcist: The Beginning, directed by RENNY HARLIN and starring STELLAN SKARSGÅRD, JAMES D’ARCY and IZABELLA SCORUPCO. The film is produced by JAMES G. ROBINSON, executive produced by GUY McELWAINE and DAVID C. ROBINSON. Story by WILLIAM WISHER and CALEB CARR, screenplay by ALEXI HAWLEY. VITTORIO STORARO serves as cinematographer. The film is edited by MARK GOLDBLATT. Music by TREVOR RABIN.

Exorcist: The Beginning will be released on August 20, 2004 by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and internationally by Warner Bros. Pictures and Morgan Creek International.

Exorcist: The Beginning has been rated “R” by the MPAA for “strong violence and gore, disturbing images and rituals, and for language including some sexual dialogue.”

this is a true story that took place in a St. Louis MO hospital down town. the hostpital is still running but they closed down the wing where the incedent took place.

the freaky thing is it really did happen. a boy, not a girl, really was possesed and acted the same way as the movie tells. no one was killed however. i'm sure there's going to be stories in the St. Louis Post Dispatch when the movie comes out, i'll have to find out all the facts then.

I haven't seen the new prequel but I have seen the original one and it was one huge disappointment. I can't understand why all the fuss, I didn't find it scary

there's only four seasons
and this one's almost gone
these nights feel so good
but this one's almost gone

I saw it last night, and oh my fucking god, one of the scariest movies I have ever seen!
I was wearing a sweater and I put my hood on and hid inside my sweater at times, there were things I just could not watch!
The first one is crap compared to the new one.
I loved it and want to see it again.

I am going to go see it tonight with a friend. I really had no desire to see it, but since its free.. why not.  Its just going to remind me of one of my psychotic kids from work who thought he was being possessed by the devil and tried to kill the executive director. :)

I didn't find the original particularly scary either. There were a few disturbing scenes, but no more than that. It was still a very good film though, I enjoyed it a lot.

If this new one is as good as you say I'll go see that, if it ever makes it as far as the UK that is. I hope it does, it'll be the first time I've seen a film like that on a big screen.
