Polanski can do horror!
Roman Polanski's reputation as a brilliant director was cemented with seven-inch nails in films like Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby. Now he's flirting with his favorite subject again – the occult – and as a Danish newspaper so aptly wrote:
When the master is on the field, there's no one ahead and no one next to him. Polanski can do horror. And he loves it!
Dean Corsa (Johnny Depp) tracks down old, rare books for wealthy collectors. But when a client shows him a particularly well-preserved copy of The Nine Gates and the Kingdom of Shadow, he simply can't believe his eyes.
The book is a legend in occult circles, written in the 17th century, reportedly in collaboration with Satan himself. That's why all copies were burned at the stake, along with the author!
Hidden in the old writings are instructions on how to summon the Evil Powers. A satanic manual. For a man like Corsa, the book's riddles are an irresistible temptation. But if you give the Devil a little finger, things happen...a dangerous game is underway....
