Just saw Dominion, sorry folks Beginning was way better.......

So what is the reason for Sarah being possessed?
There isn't one. Stupid twist that makes no sense.
Wrong, Sarah and her husband went into the church together in the beginning, the boy was a distraction from her to let Pazuzu stay hidden in her.

What is the reason for Regan being possessed?
It's the same as Cheche. Random. But..
Wrong again, she used a ouija board by herself.

Satan isn't Pazuzu, Pazuzu is just never mentioned (like in the original).
The statue in the crypt is Pazuzu though, an African version.
How do we know it's Satan??? At least in the beginning it's a associated with Pazuzu...........

It's apparent you don't know much about exorcisms. I"m not criticizing you here but there is a method to it in every case ever reported, real or fake.

You are incorrect. The statue in the crypt cannot be Pazuzu. Either it was the depiction of another demon, or it was a blatant error on the part of the set designers.

From Wikipedia:
"Pazuzu is often depicted with the body of a man but with the head of a lion or dog, talons instead of feet, two pairs of wings, the tail of a scorpion and a serpentine penis. He is also depicted with the right hand upward, and the left hand downward; the position of the hands means life and death, or creation and destruction."

In this incredibly stupid movie, the statue had both hands up. Whether it's the African version or not, the representation should always have one hand up and the other down to represent life and death / creation and destruction.

Anyone who has a brain, I urge you to skip this movie. Its only value is that it is unintentionally humorous at times.

Exorcist 2 is better then both part fours.

Ah a breath of fresh air. Thankyou for sharing your wisdom.

To those who just dont get it,

Oddly enough these comments most of you make are atleast half true.Regan McNeil wasnt possesed by coincidence."Caused by guilt" - People thinking its their fault for something wrong happenings i.e. the separation between chris & Regans father.Pazzuzu yes is another demon another name but if any of you recall, it says in the original "she says she's the Devil himself". Then again the Devil is of many names. The Quija board isnt the reason but toying with spirits is. If it was, all fortune tellers & kids who buy the parker bros. game would be possesed.And unless she was some sort of devil worshiper, I dont think Regan really accepted the possession with open arms.Also Cheche was also not coincidental.Think about it.Wheres the last place you'd look for the devil? The power of deception. And Damien Karras wasnt the target of possession but of deception. And to all you self proclaimed Exorcism professionals and experts, How can you validate your "facts" on a subject thats religious based. The faith and belief alone in whatever your religion is and not of pop culture and the power of the art of cinema and works of fiction.
You honestly believe that since you've witnessed a hollywood made ritual of cleansing out a demon that youre all the wiser in a subject thats not even fully understood by people in the actual fields of demonology,theology and so on.In the end...Dominion is superior to beginning,a summer horror flick gone bad,Heretic is a film only for those who've aquired the taste for it,legion is still questionable due to the fact that the true version isnt out,the beginning is a good movie in some ways,the original is a cinematique masterpiece,and all of you are fools who cant accept this series' value in the art of cinema and power in storytelling.

I can accept the fact that alot of you are going to bitch about what you've just written.But keep in mind,unless you are W.P.Blatty,Bill Freidkin,Paul Schrader,John Boorman, you have no write to say whats wrong!Its their movies.Their Visions.Not yours.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

Since I preordain the answer to be a big, fat, "NO!" I'll go ahead and enlighten you.
Tarot is a means of meditation, and in the right hands, divination by way of meditation, based on the Holy Qabalah.
Ouija is brought to you by Parker Bros.
And yes, bonehead, you spelled it wrong. Now please, educate yourself before you speak on the internet again.

Please, shut up, you, The Ignorant. You know nothing of "The Occult," but I bet you wet your bed at night thinking about it. Care to grow a pair? Then admit to yourself: the word "occult" simply means "hidden."
Now go cry to mommy, coward.

Dear Dumbass,
You may want to switch to Crack Lite. This film is superior to Harlin's ham-handed crapfest by several billion light-years. You sound like a drunk college freshman trying to be deep.
For you education: Satan never was Pazuzu, and Pazuzu never was Satan. Pay more attention before you start barking.”


Thank you for adding to the conversation. You have shown us the light. Please forgive our miserable ignorance and our misspelling. We are worthless compared to your enormous wisdom, your way with words, your sense of etiquette.

Did you ever think that the writers/producers/directors of these films are also ignorant to the intracacies of the occult (or the Qabalah)?

By the way, it's "For your education" not "for you education". Show some common courtecy and lay off. (...waiting for an eloquent retort...)

Are you people on something? Seriously? I just got done watching it and it was brilliant. Schrader did a good job on this beauty. It was a serious and it established why Marrin was the way he was in the "Exorcist" the enemy is after him. 10/10. I liked for the fact those WW2 shots weren't flashbacks.

whoever made the comment about the whole possession of the deformed boy being more cruel was spot on. he was the only 'innocent' out of all the locals; totally immune to the corruption of the outside world by virtue of his physical and mental defects, which unfortunately, in turn, lend him the status of pariah. he doesn't understand the concept or right and wrong. the standard notion of morality doesn't apply. the 'demon' corrupting him signalled, at least to me, the end of hope
