IMDB Summary

Years before Father Lankester Merrin helped save Regan MacNeil's soul, he first encounters the demon Pazuzu in East Africa. This is the tale of Father Merrin's initial battle with Pazuzu and the rediscovery of his faith.

MY REVIEW
This movie is the origin story of Father Merrin. While it is creepy and does give a chill or two, it is not as intense as the 1973 Exorcist  movie. It gives a history of what how Father Merrin became a exorcist priest. It is the story of how he became a believer in evil. It is his education of what evil can do. When I watched the 1973 I did not understand his confidence when he was fighting the demons that was inside the young girl Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair), In the 1973 movie Max Von Sydow played Father Merrin. But This movie explains FatherThis was a overall good movie and intense in some scenes. But it will not keep you awake like Regan MacNeil did.
