A rare book dealer (Johnny Depp) who specialises in books on Satanism is hired to recover a 17th-century text with cryptic illustrations supposedly contributed by Lucifer himself. His investigation takes him to Europe, where bizarre deaths inspired by the book’s morbid illustrations befall all those who come into contact with it... except himself. (Via Vision Entertainment)
