Load of rubbish!!
hyped garbage
Disapointment
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
This movie was good overall with a good script and the actors were good in their roles as well. It also had good cinematography and some intense scenes especially when a pin is stuck in a doll and the person that the doll represents reacts to the pain which is why I gave it 7 stars.
The Devil's Hand is a pretty weak story and has quite a lot of questions to answer. Rick Turner (Robert Alda) is a man who starts having visions of Bianca Milan (Linda Christian) in his dreams. These visions and a force bring him to a doll store where he meets Francis Lamont (Neil Hamilton) who runs the store and is the leader of a devil worshiping cult. When Rick meets Milan in person, he is quickly drawn into the cult without actually thinking of how it might affect his life in the long run. Honestly it's really hard to care about what's happening to him making this a bore. The acting is decent but the story is not really interesting. Guy sees a pretty woman in his dreams, which leads him to a cult, and then drives him out of town. That's the story in a nutshell. It's a pretty funny Rifftrax, but the movie itself is boring and honestly it feels longer than it really is.
Don't ring the bell, don't read the book and don't light the candles. This ultra cheap precursor to "Rosemary's Baby" has a few genuine scares, but mainly contains unintentional laughs. After playing George Gershwin on "Rhapsody in Blue" and the original Sky Masrerson in the original Broadway production of "Guys and Dolls"' Robert Alda was reduced to this low grade supernatural horror film where he is haunted in dreams by the presence of a beautiful woman he's never met. Destiny takes him and his sweet girlfriend into a strange doll shop where he meets the strange Neil Hamilton as well as the gorgeous dream doll. This doll house is the front for a group of satanists who seem somewhat normal. Hamilton chews the scenery more than any "Batman" villain, eventually turning into a cartoon character. Among the chilling moments are a sequence where Hamilton reveals that a traitor amongst them will die and the truly violent follow up. Yet, the structure is presented with such silliness that the film ends up becoming melodramatic and totally over the top. When you look at the more well made supernatural films yet to follow, the result here is a midnight movie where you have to wonder just how much popcorn ended up being thrown at the screen.
I'm truly dismay when I read raving reviews about garbage like this. I don't have in my English vocabulary any word low enough to qualify this product.Starting with that awful musical tune that opens the picture that seems to last forever, the very basic typeface used for the titles until the first "vision" of Alda in bed when he sees a woman dancing alone under a moonlight effect dressed in a flowing deshabillé... and apparently floating in midair someplace in Alda's room, I said "until" because that was the scene where I switched off this... movie.My patience ended there.I don't have the will power or the time to watch this kind of junk.
