时值江户后期，有一个被极其暴虐的盗贼们称为“鬼”并畏惧着的男人。这个人正是“鬼之平藏”火付盗贼改方·长谷川平藏。火付盗贼改方，是特别警察的一种，不仅负责取缔江户市内外的犯罪，还能去他国抓捕犯罪者，是一个机动性很高的组织。然而平藏并不是个只忠于职务的顽固男人，有时也会对犯罪者手下留情。平藏绝不容许的，是非人道。《盗贼三项》——不杀人，不奸污妇女，不偷盗要倒闭的店——一旦违反这三条，背弃人道的人则决不饶恕。
The battle with demons begins: can faith and strength save an innocent soul? Father Park, a priest excommunicated from his parish for practicing exorcism, is contacted by an old friend who asks for his help in protecting a child with special powers. Together they assemble a team of individuals with supernatural abilities to confront potent demonic forces. “Exorcism Chronicles” is among this year’s most eagerly awaited Korean films. Adapted from one of the country’s best-selling series of novels, its appeal lies not only in its suspense, but also in its fight sequences, as spectacular as those in the iconic Japanese “Dragon Ball” franchise.
