Directed by Paul Schrader, the 2005 prequel followed the disenchanted Father Lankester Merrin (Stellan Skarsgard) haunted by terrible acts the Nazis forced him to participate in, who focuses his energies on helping with an archaeological dig in the northern part of Kenya. There, the crew uncovers a church that predates Christian missions into the area, but the discovery also causes strange events to start occurring — including physical changes to a young, disabled boy whom Merrin grows to suspect has been possessed by a demon.
Rated R for strong violence and disturbing images, the film sports a 30% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: While director Schrader’s attempt at a literate, internal exposition on evil temptations and human sin is admirable, this prequel suffers from hit-and-miss psychological tension, poor visual effects, and weak writing — an overambitious failure of a horror movie.
