L'Exorciste : Au commencement (2004)
Le Père Lankester Merrin est hanté par le souvenir des atrocités commises durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Sentant sa foi l'abandonner, il quitte sa Hollande natale afin d'effectuer en Afrique un voyage de la dernière chance - un pèlerinage qu'il espère salvateur.Au Caire, Merrin est abordé par un amateur d'antiquités rares qui lui propose de rejoindre un chantier archéologique au Kenya. Dans la lointaine province de Turkana, les Anglais viennent de faire une découverte des plus troublante : une église byzantine parfaitement conservée. Misant sur les compétences archéologiques acquises par Merrin à Oxford, le collectionneur espère dénicher le premier une ancienne relique dissimulée dans l'église. Mais, sous l'église, sommeille une entité diabolique qui n'attend qu'un signe pour s'éveiller et répandre à nouveau sur Terre le sang, la mort et les plus abominables violences...
