hyped garbage

Did you people see the same film I saw?

A Masterpiece!

Blistering performances.

After running away from a Satanic cult, a man tries to have a cult expert keep him and his daughter away from the cult's mastermind who intends to sacrifice her to Satan and bring about the end of the world.This was an overall decent if not all that spectacular effort. One of the film's few bright spots is the rather impressive atmosphere here surrounding the use of the cult and their powers as this one really tends to let-loose with this more often than expected. Scenes like the snake transforming from the telephone cord or the hallucinations of the previous rituals make for quite a fun time here as not only are these scenes quite fun but the shock jump from the former and the sleaze and depravity found in the latter compliment each other nicely. The first flashback hallucination scene, which is the big shock here, also manages to get really creepy with its use of Satanic imagery and ceremonial artifacts to really make for a demented sequence before it really gets going with the implied impregnation at the finale which is quite surprising throughout here with this one really going full-on to match its contemporaries in the genre who were far more at ease with such demented showings. Likewise, the finale which is the epic battle between the two with the Satanic powers coming to full bore makes this one quite exciting with the full powers of each side getting a chance to show itself and really makes for quite a fun time. Still, there's not a lot else here that really works since this one tends to spend a large portion of time as a thriller rather than an out-and-out horror film. Not much of anything really happens here, as there's more talk about what happened to cause his exit from the priesthood and how he turned over to the Satanic arts than anything else, a lot of scenes of the father wandering around with a worried expression on his face and the tormented girl not doing much of anything else but complaining that this one tends to move about so agonizingly slowly it takes way too long to get going and doesn't really feature a lot of interesting marks when it does happen which ends up with the biggest flaw against this one. Likewise, for as much fun as it is to witness the final battle in here, this one tends to utilize it's powers so quickly it's over quite suddenly without much happening to really offer a lot of coherent basis for what happened. It's too sudden for all the drawn-out fun it could've had and really tends to lower this one a lot along with the really dreary and dull pacing throughout here.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Full Nudity, Language and a sex scene.

A heavily pregnant woman arrives at a house and is led in to a bedroom by some members of the clergy one of which resembles Rosa Klebb while another looks like Dracula . They then bind her legs together and if the clergy are binding the thighs of a pregnant woman it's obvious that they've closed the stable door after the horse has gone and bolted With this film the horse has also gone and truly bolted for Hammer Studios . While New Hollywood was coming out with hugely interesting and successful movies with contemporary settings and directed by movie brats Hammer was still bringing out movies with Dracula and Frankenstein and when they did try to move the market in to a modern setting it was obvious they were out of their depth as this movie showsThis is really terrible turgid stuff . . Some scenes such as pregnant woman has her legs tied together don't make much sense but at least you're able to read between the lines to understand that the baby will tear itself out of her mother's womb as a sort of precursor to ALIEN . Most of the scenes involving plot turns don't even begin to make the slightest bit of sense except to the screenwriter . You could easily chop the whole film in segments , rearrange them in any order and you'd still have the exact same movie . I notice the director is called Peter Sykes but if it was directed by Eric Sykes the movie would have improved . It says something that Dennis Wheatley the author of the source novel wrote to Hammer saying he didn't want the company to produce any more of his books . He needn't have worried because this was the last horror movie the studio made and is amongst the very worst movies it made

In London, the occult novelist John Verney (Richard Widmark) is contacted by a stranger named Henry Beddows (Denholm Elliott) during a lecture in a private gallery of his friends David Kennedy (Anthony Valentine) and Anna Fontaine (Honor Blackman). Henry asks John to meet his daughter, the nun Catherine Beddows (Nastassja Kinski), in the airport since she is coming from Munich and lodge her in his apartment since Henry has had a problem with Satanists and he would like to protect his daughter. In return, John could write a book with his experience with the Satanists. John brings Catherine to his apartment and sooner he learns that she belongs to the church "The Children of Our Lord" from Germany, and she will be eighteen years old on the All Hallows Eve. While she is sleeping during the night, John realizes that Catherine, and not her father Henry, is actually in danger. Sooner he finds that the excommunicated Catholic priest Father Michael Raynem (Christopher Lee), who is Catherine's godfather, and a group of Satanists that worship the Devil plan to use Catherine to become Astaroth through a ritual. John visits the bishop, who is his friend, and asks permission to read the same pages of The Book of Abramelin that Father Michael had read in the 50's. Now John battles against the powerful Father Michael to save the life and soul of Catherine. "To the Devil a Daughter" is the last film from Hammer with a promising story and a great cast with Richard Widmark, Christopher Lee, Nastassja Kinski and Denholm Elliott. Unfortunately they are wasted in a lame screenplay with many flaws and a disappointing conclusion. The gorgeous Nastassja Kinski (officially born on 24 Jan 1961, but sources tell that she was born in 1959) naked does not seem to be only fifteen years old; seventeen would be more acceptable. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Uma Filha para o Diabo" ("A Daughter to the Devil")

The last Hammer Horror film features Nastassja Kinski in only her third film, and her first major role. The film was banned in many countries because she was only 15 at the time.There are several fine actors in this film. There is Oscar-nominee Richard Widmark (Kiss of Death), Christopher Lee (The Wicker Man, LOTR) in what may be his finest performance, Honor Blackman (Goldfinger), and Oscar-nominee Denholm Eliott (A Room with a View, Raiders of the Lost Ark).While Sister Catherine (Kinski) is being cared for by novelist John Verney (Widmark) on the eve of her 18th birthday at the request of her father (Eliott), we flashback to her bloody birth, bursting from the belly of her mother, presided over by a smiling sinister Father Michael (Lee), as the others present turn away in disgust.While Father Michael is using his Satanic powers to draw Sister Catherine to her destiny, Verney endeavors to protect her. A battle of will and dark forces ensues. Verney realizes the seriousness of his mission as Sister Catherine escapes after burying a comb in the head of Anna Fountain (Honor Blackman).That was one slimy demon that was crawling over Sister Catherine prior to her baptism, and that was a very tempting offer made to Verney at the end. Willpower to resist that offer is more than I have.
