夺走宝物

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].。台湾学生刘彦伶在间隔年来到大陆后对汉阙了发生了兴趣。她在清华建筑系完成读博士学位期间制作了本片。阙是汉代具体而微的缩影，本片探究缘起兴起及其文化内涵，即从一个侧面了解了中国汉代的体制和文化构成，了解汉代人的世俗生活和精神生活，及其兴衰的内里。 通过对汉阙的建筑形式、社会变迁、精神信仰、历史风貌等方面的描绘与重构，探寻东汉时期人们对于生死的态度，以及对今人生死观的深层次拷问。该纪录片先后到北京、西安、成都、简阳等地进行拍摄。 第一集壮丽重威第二集忠孝礼义第三集神仙安在第三集通天之路。
