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].。大海一望无际，老船长甘于破旧渔村安身立命，青年渔夫却不想在此虚度一生。一天，青年失踪了。老渔夫声称他已葬身大海，母亲坚信他仍在生，日夜在港口等待儿归，越南裔妻子却面临被遣返命运。青年本想让其妻取得保险金后远走他方展开新生，可惜计划不似预期。韩国导演朴伊雄的次作更见成熟，在看似宁静的渔村泛起波涛暗涌，慢慢揭示贫乡困顿与绝望的现实，梦想难以启航。以晨静之国为喻，以小见大看韩国繁荣背后隐藏的忧患与危机。釜山电影节新流奖。。
