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].。祠堂是家族的圣地。 而在男尊女卑的时代，祠堂也是女人的禁地。 而我们这个关于祠堂的故事，恰恰是围绕着一个女人开始、发展、最终走向不可预知的结局。 明朝末年，徽州府临源谢家象征宗族团结兄弟和睦的祖祠悌让堂。同祖不同宗的前谢家长孙谢致卿和后谢家长孙谢致成一起在祠堂举行新婚大典，喧闹中祠门突然倒塌砸伤了前谢志卿，给喜庆的两谢族人心头蒙上了不祥的阴影。 戏班班主郑芝盟之女郑秀云自小与谢致成青梅竹马，却阴差阳错嫁给了谢致卿。新婚不久，致卿与致成结伴外出经商，秀云从此开始了徽州女人“一世夫妻三年半”的漫长寂寞的等待。 以秀云的公公秀才为代表的前谢，和以三爷为掌门的后谢一直在为宗祠的掌祠权而明争暗斗。秀才屡试不第，遂将耀祖光宗的全部希望倾注到被乡邻目为神童的小...。
