Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)
Despite a good performance by Stellan Skarsgård, the biggest sin this Exorcist prequel makes is that it's just not scary and very paint-by-numbers. 5/10
Dominion: Prequel To The Exorcist (2005)
The original prequel, before it got shelved by the studio. It follows the same story as The Beginning with almost the same cast & crew, but it's an entirely different movie. Schrader's version focuses more on the spiritual side of loss of faith and demonic possession. It's a far more interesting movie, although it drags in places and the cgi is horrible. 6/10
The Exorcist III (1990)
Interesting psychological horror movie about a tired policeman who chases, quite literally, a ghost. This ghost commits gruesome murders through mentally insane people in a psychiatric ward. For a horror movie it's quite tame. They never show us the gruesome details of the murders, for instance. It's more interested in the search for reason and psychological mind games. 7/10
Lu Over The Wall (2017)
Cute anime about a music loving mermaid who befriends a couple of high schoolers who started a band. It's a bit like Ponyo, with a dash of Panda! Go, Panda!. Knowing it's the director of Mind Game, this could've been a lot crazier. 7/10
Norwegian Wood (2010)
Beautiful, yet very depressing and slow paced movie about a student caught up in a love triangle after his best friend kills himself. Great acting and cinematography. 8/10
