视频简介

犯人麦克斯因患晚期胰腺癌获准监外执行刑期，在家度过生命最后的日子，他不得不联系早已生疏的女儿玛克辛，并与从未谋面的外孙生活在一起。本片是《暮光之城》导演凯瑟琳·哈德威克的新作，影片设定在拉斯维加斯，但丝毫没有在纸醉金迷的城市奇观上着墨，而是聚焦一个普通家庭的祖孙三代的生活日常。英国多面美人凯特·贝金赛尔在片中饰演为生计奔波的单身母亲，搭档金球奖电视剧集剧情类最佳男主角布莱恩·考克斯（《继承之战》），上演一段让人唏嘘又温情脉脉的父女情。。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].。
