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].。西班牙版的《纸牌屋》，西班牙青年导演罗德里哥索罗格耶执导的悬疑惊悚片，获第33届西班牙戈雅奖 (2019)十三项提名。描述政治人物腹背受敌的惊险处境，不仅得应付檯面政敌的明枪暗箭，更得提防同党队友的落井下石，惊悚呈现政治游戏的阴险狡诈，最终急转直下的结局完全超乎预期。 深具领袖魅力的政治家曼纽尔（安东尼奥德拉托雷饰），不仅受到民众爱戴，更拥有崇高的名声与地位。但「权力使人腐化」，私下的他却与党内同侪联手诈用公款、进行洗钱中饱私囊。不料当东窗事发，同侪纷纷与他切割，更强迫他一肩扛责，不甘自背黑锅的他，于是设下一关关骗局，展开强力反击…。
