父亲摆摊照顾沉睡女儿12年

一个小镇保姆和她正在照顾的孩子们在万圣节前夕的连环杀手中挣扎求生。。。。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].。加拿大导演查尔斯·沃费瑟执导的犯罪片，影片将主人公阿基拉十五岁时的犯罪回忆与金盆洗手之夜偶遇少年犯的经历进行交叉剪辑，展现了一个罪犯的“赎罪”过程。影片引用了荷马史诗《伊利亚特》的相关情节，为故事增添了古典主义悲情气息，富有艺术美感的画面配以雷鬼、说唱等音乐形式，也使观众犹如欣赏一部超大型MV。本片入围2020年多伦多国际电影节最佳加拿大电影单元。。
