The 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtrack is also excellent with full use of all channels. There are some really great panning effects and ample use of the surround soundstage. Using PLIIx enhanced the rear soundstage even more offering a more seamless illusion with some of the sound design. Dialogue never sounded strained or tinny and the score was balanced well with the onscreen action.

The sound is no less impressive than the visuals. While the film doesn't seem to have any room-rumbling low-end moments, the 5.1 Dolby Digital and 5.1 DTS tracks are incredibly effective in their usage of the rear channels. There are numerous instances in the film where something will happen off to the side or the rear and the surround sound kicks in and actually adds to the ambiance of the scene. Sound levels are well-balanced, channel separation is excellent, and dialogue is clear and crisp through the center channel.

The soundtrack is presented in a very aggressive Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and DTS Surround, both in English. Either of these tracks will fit the bill. Both the Dolby and DTS track feature a ton of surround sounds through both the front and rear speakers. In fact, many of the scares are derived from the creepy music and sound effects. All aspects of the mix are free of any excessive hiss or distortion (except when needed by the film). Also included on this disc are English, French, and Spanish subtitles.

By far, the most impressive aspect of Exorcist: The Beginning is it's sound. Both DD and DTS versions are available to choose from, but the difference between the two tracks is so marginal that I couldn't tell you which is better. The good news is that they both sound excellent. The first few chapters dish out a heavy dose of surround channel, but then it dies down as the movie progresses. Thankfully, the sounds from the rear channels re-emerge at select scenes. This could possibly be by design to provide an added jolt when you no longer expect it.

One of the early scenes is a lone man walking a battlefield with thousands of bodies scattered around him. The sounds of desolation are perfect whether it be blowing winds from all channels or the laugh of hyenas picking at the carcasses, both near and distant.

Sound has been a hallmark of the Exorcist films from the first film, which set an extraordinary high standard. If the movie itself is an unsurprising disappointment, the actual sound is fabulous, as menacingly huge and loud as one could hope for. Saying the audio mix, whether in 5.1 or DTS (and there isn't much difference between the two), is enveloping would be a massive understatement.

If you think that the movie Exorcist: The Beginning is a let-down, wait until you hear the great audio which accompanies this bad movie. The DVD contains both a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track and a DTS 5.1 track. Both of these tracks sound great, as they provide clear and audible dialogue with no audible hiss. The movie has a very nice sound design and these tracks make great use of the surround channels and subwoofer. During the few action scenes, the sound surrounds the viewer and does add a little something to the movie. The edge here goes to the DTS track, as it is crisper and provides a deeper bass sound, but both are very good.

The premise lends itself to immense tension and atmosphere, which are enhanced by the included Dolby Digital 5.1 option. The surrounds kick hard and often, even in more reserved sequences. But the gloves come off in the assorted tense sequences, which is when the surrounds get down to business. The speakers use power, range, and depth to put you in the middle of it all, with excellent results. I found the LFE use to be superb also, as it has some serious punch in numerous scenes. The cheap scares stand out to me, as the pops are loud and sure to pull you off the seat a few times. The dialogue is clean and clear also, with no volume balance problems to report. I was very surprised, but just as pleased to also find a DTS option on this release. As expected, the DTS track edges out the Dolby Digital counterpart in all aspects, with a more immersive and potent overall audio atmosphere, very impressive indeed. This disc also includes subtitles in English, Spanish, and French, just in case you might need those at some point.
