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].。该片讲述了一对年纪相差19岁的情侣风暴一般热烈而短暂的爱情。。20世纪初，Amberson家族在当地是一个名门望族。年轻人Eugene Morgan（约瑟夫·科顿 Joseph Cotten 饰）苦苦追求Amberson家的Isabel（多洛雷斯·卡斯特洛 Dolores Costello 饰）无果，Isabel最终嫁给了Wilbur Minafer（Donald Dillaway 饰演），两人生下儿子George（提姆·霍尔特 Tim Holt 饰）。George在父母的溺爱下长大，从小就是个骄横的孩子，长大后更是变本加厉。从大学回家的George遇到了来他们家做客的Eugene Morgan，此时的Morgan已是一个在研究动力车的人，他的妻子去世，留给他一个女儿Lucy（安妮·巴克斯特 Anne Baxter）。George爱上了Lucy，而George的姑姑似乎也对Morgan青睐有加。不久George的父亲去世了，George开始在Amberson家族里当家做主。他听闻了Morgan和他母亲的一些传闻，严厉阻止了其发展，并带着他的母亲去欧洲旅游。而Morgan的汽车研究正在不断壮大，却遭到了George的轻视。无视社会发展的George正在随着Amberson家族的没落而渐渐失去了他原有的一切...... 本片根据Booth Tarkington于1918年出版的同名小说改编，提名奥斯卡最佳女配角和最佳影片等奖项。。
