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].。《三王來朝》讲述三王来朝拜耶稣诞生的时候,但电影不是去歌颂这段故事,而是用了十分平板的手法去描述,三王更只不过是普通的人,大部份时间就是描述他们千辛万苦去寻找耶稣诞生地,及遇到的难题,而最大的难题是莫过于在山林中迷路及找路。 在近年众多新星导演之中,西班牙加泰罗尼亚导演Albert Serra算是较具争议性的一人。因为他的电影是如此简约,甚至可说是简陋,即使有不少人大力推崇 (如法国的 “电影笔记” 便曾把导演上一部 “Honour of the Knights” (唐吉诃德) [2006] 选为2007年最佳电影第七位),但也有人质疑他只是趁着当下慢板长镜头当道的艺术电影潮流故弄玄虚,制作出件件国王的新衣。。
