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].。《千古风流人物第5季》是一部大型历史文化类系列纪录片，该片将目光聚焦中国历史上现象级的文化名人，希望通过解读这些人物的人生故事与艺术成就，去梳理出数千年的中华文明史以及背后的文化内核。 对于这部纪录片，我们不希望他只是一个人物传记，而是可以走进主人公的内心，把他们还原成一个普通人，解读他们的情感和内心世界，他们的快乐，痛苦与失落，结合他们的经典作品以及时代背景，在这个过程中形成对这个人物的独特理解，并在片子中展示出来。。
