Stellan Skarsgard is mesmerising as Father Lankester Merrin in Exorcist: The Beginning. With a perfect slow burn, we learn about Father Merrin's life and struggles with his faith.
We see him in Cairo, at an excavation site. The site pre-dates Christianity and the subject of the dig is a relic of a demon. The local tribesmen flee and refuse to continue to participate in the dig.
Disturbing occurrences begin to happen and Father Merrin is drawn into a terrifying situation where he finds he needs his faith to fight an ancient evil.
A very eerie, skin-crawling and frightening film. This is my favourite of The Exorcist franchise.
