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].。邱吉尔的政途于三十年代中期起下滑，已经退休的他虽然依旧参加国会的讨论，但不得志的他还是整日闷闷不乐，生命陷入低潮。。更雪上加霜的是，在股灾中，邱吉尔成了最大的受害者之一，财政状况十分糟糕。虽然他夜以继日地为各大报刊撰稿，也仍然填补不了财政赤字。但忙于政务的邱吉尔对帐务上的危机视而不见，这可愁坏了邱吉尔夫人，她努力地应付平时的各项开支，但她已渐渐觉得精神和体力都承受不了这么大的压力。 此时国际形势严峻，德国纳粹不断扩张自己的势力，希特勒的狼子野心更是日益显现。邱吉尔准确预测德国的野心侵略，为大英帝国在国际上的地位担心不已。但国会却依然持着绥靖政策，任由德国纳粹势力发展，不愿出兵干涉。更可气的是，财政大臣居然鼓动国会同意卖给德国制作飞机的发动机，丝毫没有意识到德国带来的威胁。当然，对德国问题忧心忡忡的不只是邱吉尔一个人，还有任情报机关重要领导的瑞尔夫，他...。
