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].。20世纪70年代，体弱多病的小男孩比利（Cainan Wiebe 饰）降临人间，他不曾感受到父母的温暖，反而自幼备受虐待。他的母亲（Karin Konoval 饰）甚至串通情人杀害了比利的父亲，而这一切都被这个只有5岁大的小男孩看在眼里。可怜的比利从此被母亲囚禁阁楼，度过了黑暗而漫长的童年时代。某个圣诞夜，长成青年的比利（Robert Mann 饰）逃出樊笼，并将母亲和继父残忍杀害，而同母异父的妹妹爱格尼丝（Dean Friss 饰）也被弄瞎一只眼睛。 15年后，比利家早已废弃的房子被改造成某学校的校外宿舍，八个青春靓丽的女生以及舍监芭芭拉（Andrea Martin 饰）住在这里。但她们很快发现，传说中的凶残比利似乎就在自己身边……。
