EFF - Land of the Dead, Serenity, Dominion Exorcist Prequel

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 16 Jul 2005, 15:55

I'm going to the Edinburgh Film Festival. Apparently it will have the world premiere of Land of the Dead (Romero's eagerly awaited zombie flick).

Also gonna catch a rare screening of Dominion: Prequel to Exorcist.

Paul Schrader directed Dominion: Prequel to Exorcist. However the executives were not pleased with the psychological thriller approach - they wanted more MTV style nu-ass cheap scares so hired Renny Harlin to give the movie a good raping. The end product is the pile of turd known as Exorcist: The Beginning.

Now for the first (and only) time in the UK, Dominion will be shown in its original form. It's supposedly not gonna receive a commerical release so I'm looking forward to seeing this. Reviews so far have been positive.

Also hoping to check out Serenity (the firefly movie). It will be shown on the last Sunday. Tickets not on sale for that showing yet.

Gonna see:

36 Quai des Orfèvres
Bittersweet Life
The Moustache
P

Plus whatever takes my fancy. Hoping to shake hands with a few stars like last year. Elija Wood's gonna be there.

Cool.

I heard the "Dominion: Prequel to Exorcist" would be released on DVD one day.

Have you seen "Exorcist: The Beginning" to compare it to? I never knew they actually finished shooting "Dominion: Prequel to Exorcist".

I would rather scoop out my eyes and feed them to my ass, than see any of the bile Exorcist films ever! the 1st one sucked hard cock! the sequels suck bigger ones, I dont see why they even bother at all, they aint scary and they aint good.

Scerenity may not be finished for the showing! appraetnly its not done CGI wise still, taking long apprently! I cannot see them delaying it now.

The original THE EXORCIST is a horror classic.

Or would you prefer a Michael Bay remake???

The Chainsaw remake was an improvement overall. But Bay didn't direct it. I first saw The Exorcist via bootleg when I was 13. I knew even then it was something out of the ordinary. Revisiting it for the 25th anniversary sold me on it as a classic. Most horror movies aren't this good. Just watch any of The Omen films for proof.

I did see The Exorsict only a few years back, and didnt like anything. Maybe if I saw it really young it may have worked, but as an adult I couldnt help but think it was a joke people could get worked up over it, it was hilariously poor at times

I know Bay didnt direct CS, but he is producing some fine films it seems. After all he probibly has more cash than God now.

I saw Land of the Dead (and Otomo's Steamboy subbed) last night at the Auckland International Film Festival, it ROCKED.

I hope Serenity is good, since Firefly was excellent.

Anyway, I've only seen the Bay-produced remake of The Amityville Horror - it was pants.
