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].。影片讲述在1975年印尼入侵东帝汶期间,五名澳大利亚记者被枪击的事件。本片实际上是通过第六位澳大利亚人的视角来讲述,罗杰·伊斯特是那场灾难中的幸存者。 幕后制作 “巴里布五人组”事件仍是困扰澳大利亚与印尼之间的阴影。34年前,五名澳电视记者尝试拍摄印尼入侵当时葡属殖民地东帝汶时丧生,而此事未得到官方妥善解决。于2009年公映的影片《巴里布》引起了澳方对此事的再次关注。 五名记者于1975年10月死于印尼边陲小镇巴里布,遗体不久得以下葬。印尼方一直称这五人是在印尼士兵与独立战士的交火中丧生的。尽管此种解释曾遭死者家属的强烈不满,澳方出于维持两国关系的考虑,从未对此说法有过任何质疑。 澳方对此事的缄默态度两年前才被打破。新南威尔士州的一名验尸官发现五名记者是被印尼特种部队战士蓄意杀害的,而这是上尉Yunus Yosfiah的命令,为了阻止他们披露印尼对巴...。
