Exorcist The Beginning Review

Synopsis: This prequel to the classic 1973 horror flick The Exorcist recounts Father Merrin's early-20th-century journey to Africa, where, while doing missionary work as a young priest, he has his first encounter with Satan.

In the years following World War II, Merrin is relentlessly haunted by memories of the unspeakable brutality perpetrated against the innocent people of his parish. Merrin leaves Holland inorder to escape the horrors that he witnessed there. In Cairo, he is asked to join a British archeological excavation in the remote Turkana region of Kenya.

They have unearthed a Christian Byzantine church in inexplicably pristine condition as if it had been buried on the day it was completed. The collector wants Merrin, an Oxford-educated archeologist, to find an ancient relic hidden within the church before the British discover it. But beneath the church, something much older sleeps, waiting to be awoken.
