Storyline
Dr. John Holden ventures to London to attend a paranormal psychology symposium with the intention to expose devil cult leader, Julian Karswell. Holden is a skeptic and does not believe in Karswell's power. Nonetheless, he accepts an invitation to stay at Karswell's estate, along with Joanna Harrington, niece of Holden's confidant who was electrocuted in a bizarre automobile accident. Karswell secretly slips a parchment into Holden's papers that might possibly be a death curse. Recurring strange events finally strike fear into Holden, who believes that his only hope is to pass the parchment back to Karswell to break the demonic curse.

Continuity: On the railway car, Karswell has his arms crossed across his chest. On several shots he has his left hand tucked inside and a few shots of his left hand on his right elbow. This is quite noticeable in the shots when Holden is trying to hand Karswell a piece of paper just after Joanna comes out of her trance. See more »Soundtracks
