The Church (1989)
Mittelalter: Eine Horde Kreuzritter fällt über ein Dorf her, das angeblich Schauplatz von Ketzerei sein soll. Sämtliche Dorfbewohner werden brutal getötet und in einem Massengrab vergraben. Neuzeit: Während der Arbeit in einer Kirche, die auf dem Massengrab erbaut wurde, entdeckt die Restauratorin Lisa eine geheimnisvolle Schriftrolle. Sie vertraut sie dem Bibliothekar Evan an, der daraufhin beginnt, das Geheimnis des alten Gemäuers zu erforschen. Doch dabei geht er einen Schritt zu weit: Er öffnet ein uraltes Siegel und entlässt so das Böse aus dem Grab...
