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].。夜幕下，年过五旬的游女阿春在街头游荡，走进一个寺庙后，她回想起自己坎坷悲惨的前半生。 年轻时的阿春是一个贵族家里的女佣。她与下等武士胜之介相恋，二人偷情时被发现。阿春连同她父母被驱逐出城，胜之介则被处死。松平大领主为了继承香火，派人四处选妾。貌美的阿春被选中，做了松平领主的妾侍。很快，她产下一子。松平家族欢天喜地，阿春以为自己就此安定下来。可是原配十分嫉妒阿春，于是松平家族以阿春迷惑领主为由，将她遣返回家。为了偿还债务，阿春的父亲把她卖去游女之家。一个出手阔绰的客人看中了阿春，要为她赎身。然而此人是个专门造假币的骗子，随即就被抓走，阿春也被游女之家赶走。其后阿春经历了种种波折，她最终走投无路，只好沦落街头。贫病交加之际，她得知自己的儿子当上了领主……。克里斯托弗·沃肯、克里斯蒂娜·里奇加盟新片[珀西](Percy，暂译)，克拉克·约翰森(《卢克·凯奇》)执导。影片改编自真实事件，故事围绕加拿大萨斯喀彻温省一个小镇上一场“大卫与歌利亚式的对抗”展开，沃肯饰保护农民权益的农场主，里奇饰抵制转基因农作物的活动家。影片已在加拿大开机。。
