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].。重阳节，琼台书院学生张逸民与镇台府丫环翠莲相识。镇台夫人认为翠莲在外面有私情，翠莲死不招认。道台要纳翠莲为妾，翠莲得知后，女扮男装逃出镇台府。琼台书院掌教老师谢宝带翠莲到书院，与张逸民相见。翠莲愿与张逸民回乡同甘共苦。镇台带兵丁包围书院，张逸民向谢宝说出实情，谢宝决定成全他俩。谢宝以书院是道台所辖为由，拒绝镇台搜查。镇台叫谢宝同去见道台。谢宝把翠莲藏在轿内，走到半路，谢宝下轿步行，待镇台和谢宝走远，轿夫放出翠莲，与张逸民远走高飞。。
