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].。【故事梗概】 师范学院女学生娜塔莎认识了建筑工程师谢辽沙，两人—见钟情。娜塔莎抛弃学业嫁给了他，并生了个儿子。谢辽沙很有工作能力，但过分自信，刚愎自用。他虽然爱妻子，但并不尊重她。当谢辽沙升为总工程师后，更是唯我独尊，一批拍马屁的人整天围着他转，更助长了他自高自大、独断专行的作风。娜塔莎对丈夫的—切行为很看不惯，她多次规劝丈夫，反而引起丈夫的反感。娜塔莎便痛下决心带着儿子出走。她在旧日同窗好友的帮助下，终于完成... 幕后花絮这部影片是50年代中期苏联代表作品之一。通过一对夫妻之间关系与情感的变化，创作者触及了苏联电影过去很少涉及的有关人的尊严、人的信任、人的生活目的等方面的内容。这部影片和其它许多影片一样开始表现普通人的生活和工作，表现他们的喜怒哀乐，开始涉及道德范畴，开始探索人物的内心世界，特别是对女性的细致丰富的内心生活和精神世界进行了大胆的...。
