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].。关原之战不仅是日本战国史上最大的激战，也是日本史上中世和近世的分水岭。庆长五年（1600年）九月十五日，以德川家康为总大将的东军，以毛利辉元（实际上是石田三成）为总大将的西军集结到现在的岐阜县不破郡关原町一带，大决战爆发。真正的战斗不过持续了一天，结果却是翻天覆地的。石田三成等西军将领或遭斩首、或被没收、削减领地，胜利者德川家康三年后就任征夷大将军，建立了江户幕府。此后二百余年，幕府政权一度稳如磐石。战斗并不止于关原一带。从东北到九州，大小领主各怀心思，作着不同的判断与斗争。背叛、杀戮、父子兄弟相斗，整个人间被卷入漩涡之中，不复旧时形状。 这套剧集是日本TBS电视台在1981年为30周年台庆而制作的，改编自司马辽太郎的小说，投资6亿日元，幕前明星云集，布景极尽豪华，在1月2日、3日、4日连续播完全部三集，创下收视纪录。总之，对喜欢历史、战争题材的朋友...。
