Not as simple as horror

In addition to the unprecedented destruction and devastation of Europe in World War II, it also caused severe trauma to Father Merlin's soul. Merlin gave up his identity as a priest and his faith in God to become an archaeologist.

Under the guidance, Merlin came to Kenya to dig out a church buried in the ground for thousands of years. Everything was so strange. Merlin’s curiosity was triggered by this, and the truth became clearer with Merlin’s investigation...

despite the advertised horror, Thriller, but in my personal opinion, it is more like a suspense film, the plot is subtle and fascinating. To be honest, I really guessed the wrong character and didn't realize it until the last few minutes.

The film is full of plot due to the crimes and ethnic conflicts involved in World War II. The crimes of World War II left both physical and spiritual traumas to those who experienced it. The scene of the little girl being shot in Merlin's brain lingers, Sarah was repeatedly violated in the concentration camp and did not have menstruation; the local natives took all this. The symptom was attributed to the invasion of the white people, a riot of breath spreading, the ignorant young priest called in the army...This

film is the fourth film of the same subject, the first "Exorcist" was born in 1973 , The film is based on real stories.

"Exorcist" has epoch-making significance for the development of horror films in the future. It is definitely a textbook among similar films. Many scenes and ideas in the film have become templates and guide the development of horror films.

After reading the prequel, I was eager to find "The Exorcist", trying to continue this pleasure, perhaps because of the age of the time, the first part, which is aimed at nausea and horror and has a soothing plot, is obviously not to my appetite, fast forward Read the matter in a hurry.

The film began to be produced in 1997, but in 2003 when Paul Schrader (Paul Schrader) handed over the filmed "Exorcist Prequel" to the investor Morgan Creek, this horror costing $50 million The masterpiece made investors furious because they did not film the bloody horror scenes that investors expected. "Exorcist IV: The Beginning" that you see now is a 100% overthrow and remake by Renny Harlin. Due to repeated investment, the production cost of this film is as high as 100 million U.S. dollars, which has become a film history. The most expensive horror film in the movie.

You can see these two versions at the same time on the DVD released by Warner. A careful comparison will definitely not be interesting.
