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].。故事发生在十九世纪末的四川，出生在农村的郑么姑嫁给了杂货铺的老板蔡兴顺，成为了杂货铺老板娘。蔡兴顺性格老实而又木讷，非常不解风情，而郑么姑拥有美艳的外表，一娶进门便已经引来了风言风语。幸运的是，蔡兴顺有一个德高望重的表哥罗德生，每当有人想要欺负郑么姑时，总是罗德胜出面抵挡回去，一来二去之间，郑么姑和罗德胜之间产生了不应该有的感情。 罗德胜离乡数年，带回了想要从良的刘三金，利用刘三金的美色榨干了粮户顾天成的腰包，也正是刘三金的出现让郑么姑和罗德胜决定不再压抑他们的感情。。
