视频简介
American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。佩威尔是一个30来岁的男人,他和父亲齐格蒙特一起做着从法国北部贩卖二手服装到波兰的生意过活。 在一次从平常的“公差”的回程的路上,佩威尔看到自己父亲的照片被印在了波兰当地的小报纸上,名字下面写着“叛国贼”。齐格蒙特当年是一个天才般的反对派领袖,曾经在80年代组织过对独裁ZF的反对行动。可是现在,他的头像和名字却被冠以了叛国者的名字,而且那张有意境垮台的共产主义者掌权的小报还报道说,齐格蒙特是一个可耻的告密者,代号叫做“鼹鼠”。 在今天的波兰,虽然有着20年的民主化进程,但是齐格蒙特的故事还是引起了不小的波澜。报道指出,齐格蒙特当年领导的运动害死了不少矿主,而他的老婆伊娃的父亲,就死在当年的运动中。佩威尔坚信这是反对他父亲的人的无中生有之事,但是齐格蒙特很多反常的举动让佩威尔不得不对自己父亲的过去产生很多疑虑。事情波及到了这一家人,齐格蒙特前往法国北部...。
