Life in the Catholic Church of the Holy Redeemer in Detroit is upset by a series of killings whose victims are all priests and nuns. All victims are found with a black rosary in their hands. Father Koesler begins collaborating with the police but soon finds himself in a spot when the killer decides to choose him as confessor.。影片讲述了在一个没有被历史所记载的朝代,因为它很短,而在这短短的十余年中,相传勾陈大帝留在凡间用来镇妖封煞的镇妖石被天火所毁,百妖肆出,从此举国上下都在忙活着研究同一件事儿,如何降妖。影片不仅呈现出了中国传统文化的艺术魅力和现实主义,还通过人和妖两族的争斗,暗喻了人和大自然之间的关系。。
