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].。这部已经拖了四年时间的「美国起源」题材迷你剧根据2007年出版的写实小说《Savage Kingdom: The True Story of Jamestown, 1607, and the Settlement of America》改编。1607年，从英国来到美洲大陆寻梦的探险者在弗吉尼亚的詹姆斯敦（Jamestown）建立了新殖民地，这是北美地区第一个英国定居点，美国的历史从此开始。到了1619年，原本荒凉的殖民地逐渐转变成一座新兴城镇，詹姆斯敦社区已经有模有样。但是在这12年间，这里只有男人。 又有一批人从英国本土乘船来到美洲大陆。刚刚抵达詹姆斯敦的人群当中有几名年轻漂亮的女性显得格外突出，她们是詹姆斯敦早期定居者的「婚配对象」。不知名的丈夫们为她们支付了跨越大西洋的一切费用，她们带着憧憬、兴奋与恐惧交织的复杂心情来到北美殖民地。Jocely...。
