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].。诉说了一个发生在20世纪初的故事：一位科学家发明了时间机器，试图通过它回到过去，拯救因车祸去世的女友。他成功地赶到了车祸发生之前，并阻止了悲剧的发生。然而，他没有意识到这一行为扰乱了宇宙原本正常的运行轨迹。数百年后，这种干扰导致了月亮偏离轨道，最终撞击地球，毁灭了人类的高科技文明，并让人类社会倒退回史前时代。 在这场灾难中，一部分人类为了躲避灾难，长期生活在地下。随着时间的推移，这些地下生存者逐渐进化成了具有攻击性的生物，它们甚至开始捕食地面上的人类，形成了所谓的吃人怪兽族。。
