The premise

New York, Christmas Eve, 1999 - at the dawn of the new millennium - a subway construction crew unearths an eight hundred year old Celtic skeleton and a mysterious key. Archeologist Karen Goodleaf is called in to determine the meaning of the discovery. News of the discovery reaches a Middle East monastery where the warrior monks knowns as the Knights Templar - an ancient sect entrusted with protecting holy relics - choose their best pupil, Lukas to face the diabolical threat. As Lukas races to New York, an evil Minion seizes Karen and uses her body like a parasite and host!

Horror Vault's take

On the eve of the new millennium, a subway dig in New York City disturbs something that should have stayed buried — an ancient skeleton and a cryptic key that stir a dormant supernatural threat. A lone warrior monk dispatched by the Knights Templar must race across the globe to contain the evil before it uses an unsuspecting archaeologist as its vessel. Equal parts action thriller and occult horror, The Minion blends apocalyptic tension with B-movie swagger as the clock ticks toward midnight, 1999.
