Here After Review | An Emotional Catholic Horror Drama That Fully Commits
I’ve always been fascinated by Roger Ebert’s review of a usually derided film, Paul Schrader’s Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist (recut into the inferior The Exorcist: The Beginning for mainstream audiences). It’s strange to see such a lauded writer (Taxi Driver) and director (American Gigolo) take on the fifth entry in a horror franchise, but Schrader made the best Exorcist film since the original for a simple reason that Ebert nails. The critic says his film, “Does something risky and daring in this time of jaded horror movies: It takes evil seriously.” Dominion comes to mind after seeing the new horror drama Here After, and for good reason.
