Horror Vault's take

Before his fateful encounter in Washington D.C., Father Merrin has abandoned the priesthood and thrown himself into archaeological fieldwork in post-war East Africa — a man whose faith was shattered by the horrors he witnessed under Nazi occupation. When a mysterious Byzantine church is unearthed in the African wilderness, something buried far longer than any human civilization stirs beneath the sand. Merrin must confront not only a malevolent ancient force, but the question of whether he has anything left to believe in — or fight for. Stellan Skarsgård anchors this origins story with a performance of quiet, wounded gravity.
