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].

强行加入的BLM元素让人并不舒适，两个小时对于人物的特点刻画来说显得有些太短。
女主很面熟，查過才知道看過她主演的不少片子，只是她老了好多；
刷完6季黑道家族再来看前传，只能说是情怀了，Uncle Jonior一点搞笑情节都没有，Tony的儿子还真是一个模子刻出来的，最后的音乐绝了，总之是情怀大于剧情的电影，终究扣题了T母说的，He is a Saint
前一小时的自救互救还是挺有氛围感的，收尾暗淡
有点乱，感觉要说很多个中心但是又戛然而止。
作为一个三刷过黑道家族的老观众 电影确实太散了 什么都想交代 又什么都没交代好 Tony对Dickie的崇拜也没有讲清楚 起码他们之间的交集电影里展示的太少了 很失望。
有没有人和我一样一脸懵逼？现实和小说傻傻分不清楚。我家的土屋妹纸身材真浓缩
我不知道看过六季黑道家族的人看这电影什么感觉，我是没看过，有点摸不到头脑。
真不明白一个人爬到山尖上去，到底有什么意义？
你的地盘里有不服管教的小混混，你不感到可耻吗？
真的很好看，神作，全程无尿点，要留意每一个细节，很棒，牛
这部片子的主线好乱，黑人造反？白人搞后妈？
悬疑的真相平平无奇，叙事手法却挺有趣。日剧中触动心灵的小感动没有缺席，无出轨就编不了故事的传统也一如既往。
原著好看，但是这个电影拍的，只能说有点浪费演员。个人觉得一般
难得能看进去的电影，虽然看到结局有种并不怎么好看的感觉
絮絮叨叨的不明所以，充着老剧来的，可惜太失望
剧情稍显拖沓，不过内容还是很不错的，越琢磨越有味道，值得一看，值得一品。
除了情怀 有一种给剧做引子的感觉 名字里带圣人 做事真的狠 死得突然 就像黑道上生死一线隔的现实 下手的人我也呵呵 没看剧的各位看完这个赶快去看剧 单做电影的确比较散 但是重要人物都出来了
53岁的Naomi Watts，遇到渣男，为艺术献身
