Ghost Rider (2007)

Corrected entry: The Caretaker suggests Johnny Blaze not leave the cemetery, saying he's safe as long as he's there, since the demons pursuing him can't come onto hallowed ground. However, Blackheart later confronts a priest in a church, which, presumably, is also hallowed ground. (The final confrontation between Ghost Rider and Blackheart also occurs in a church, but it could be argued that this ground has long since become unconsecrated.).

Correction: The caretaker was correct. The demons pursuing Blaze could not come onto hallowed ground. Which is why they waited outside the church while Blackheart spoke to the priest. Blackheart is a son of the devil, and the devil has been known to stand in the very presence of God Himself. So, it seems a fair enough assumption that the devil's offspring could enter mere hallowed ground while lesser demons could not.

But then why wouldn't Blackheart just go to the caretaker himself to get the contract?

He tried to, but Caretaker wouldn't give up its location, so Blackheart decided to force Johnny to convince Caretaker to give him the contract by kidnapping Roxanne.

Correction: Blackheart had no idea where the contract was, so kidnapping Roxanne was the only way to get it.
