The beginning of the movie starts in a city park (New York?)
City workers are digging and find a stone (I think it had markings on it and I remember it being black)
A businessman obtains it to impress his archaeologist lady friend. The woman is the love interest of the protagonist.
The businessman becomes infected(?) by the stone and is turned into or unleashes a monster. This part is a little foggy in my memory.
The protagonist finds a legend, or something, and searches for answers in an old church. It is currently being renovated and ladders and scaffolding are placed around the pews. On the ceiling there is a mural of a battle with the monster that was locked in the stone.
He looks at the warrior fighting the monster and grabs a hammer and chisel. He climbs a ladder or scaffolding and chisels away at the axe the hero is holding in the mural. He uncovers the actual axe and leaves to slay the beast.
The end is a little hazy, but it takes place in a new building that the businessman just opened. A party is going on to celebrate the opening and find of the rock (I think).
There was a woman in a room with a glass wall, for displays, and she was ironing. I think she was dancing. She was wearing monster feet slippers. Then the real monster shows up and kills her.
I do not remember what the creature looked like.
And the only scene I can remember for certain is the scene with the church.
Any help identifying this movie will be appreciated.
And it is not "The Relic" or "Frailty"
