Exorcist: The Beginning Movie
In the years following World War II Father Lankester Merrin (Stellan Skarsgard) is haunted by memories of brutality of his war. He can no longer honestly call himself a man of God since he was occasionally forced to participate in a Nazi crime. He tries to escape his memories travelling through far countries. In Cairo he meets a collector of rare antiquities who have unearthed a Christian church in the remote region of Kenya. The church seemed to be buried at the same day it was built. The collector wants Merrin, an Oxford-educated archeologist, to find some ancient artefact hidden within the church before the British discover it. But while investigating, they find out that the church was built to protect the area against an evil force, which has been buried long ago and eventually released along the excavations. The horror has only just begun.
