Product Description

Product Description

Excommunicated priest turned Satanist Michael Rayner (Christopher Lee) places a young girl under his spell, hoping that she will bear a child that will be the offspring of Satan. Occult novelist John Verney (Richard Widmark), with the help of an ancient manuscript, attempts to intervene and undo the spell.

From Amazon.co.uk

Hammer's To the Devil a Daughter was the last film made by the once great studio. Clearly ailing, Hammer again adapted a novel by Dennis Wheatley, the author behind one of their greatest successes, The Devil Rides Out (1967). Unfortunately for the studio, films such as Rosemary's Baby (1968) and The Exorcist (1973) had, in the intervening decade, radically changed horror cinema. With American star Richard Widmark echoing Gregory Peck's role in the far more polished The Omen (1976), the film seemed, rather than setting the pace as Hammer once had, to be very much jumping on the 1970's occult band-wagon. Christopher Lee is the satanic ex-communicated priest whose coven plan to incarnate the ancient demon Ashteroth, while a supernaturally beautiful Nastassja Kinski demonstrates the same willingness to disrobe as in Cat People (1982). Even so, this lacklustre, misogynistic film couldn't compete with Carrie and Suspiria (both also 1976) and Hammer thereafter concentrated on TV productions. Surprisingly, director Peter Sykes' next film, Jesus (1979), as well as being the most seen and internationally distributed film ever (with an audience of over two billion by 2000), is also the most faithful portrayal of Christ yet committed to celluloid. --Gary S. Dalkin --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 starsTo the Devil a glove puppet
By Mr. Jonathon T. Beckett on 27 Oct. 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Occult novelist John Verney(Richard Widmark) is asked by his friend Harry Beddowes(Denholm Elliot) to look after his daughter Catherine whilst she's in London. What Verney does not know is that a group of Satanists lead by the excommunicated priest Father Michael(Christopher Lee) are desperate to get their hands on Catherine as she is required for a hideous ritual to bring the demon Azaroth back into the world. Soon Verney and his friends are fighting for their lives.
This film, Hammer's last feature length horror, is an excellent adaptation of Dennis Wheatley's novel. It is very tense and quite frightening in places, especially as the forces of evil do have the upper hand for most of the film. Richard Widmark as Verney is terrific, maybe an unlikely choice for many, but he is entirely credible as he begins to understand what a dangerous situation he finds himself in. Christopher Lee is gives a sinister, underplayed performance as the very dangerous Father Michael.
There are a couple of reasons that stop this film from being a classic, the hand puppet emmissary of evil, and a terribly rushed garish ending. Apart from those quibbles, its a very fine film, and it really is a shame that Hammer concentrated solely on television output after this.
A flawed classic. 4 out of 5

4.0 out of 5 starsThe end of Hammer
By S J Buck TOP 500 REVIEWER on 14 Aug. 2007
Format: DVD
Having just seen this for the first time I was surprised at just how good it was. Whether those involved realised that it would be the last ever Hammer film I don't know, but it seemed as though a bit more effort was made with this.

Firstly as the previous reviewer stated its an excellent cast and unlike the later Dracula films Christopher Lee has a proper role which makes good use of his screen presence and unique voice. Denholm Elliot is also very good and the rest of the cast do a fine job. In many ways TTDAD resembles 'The Devil Rides Out' because it is also based on a Dennis Wheatley story, but I think the overriding influence was probably Hammers attempt to cash in on the success of the Exorcist and The Omen.

As for the previous reviewers comment about the violence being unacceptable I'm afraid I can't rationally explain this. There is only one scene which can possibly be considered for this and nothing is shown, you only see the after effects (and this is just tomato ketchup). There is a little bit of nudity, but in terms of violence there is nothing here to upset the regular horror film fan. By comparison to a lot of modern horror films this is a restrained and subtle affair.

So overall an enjoyable film which was a fine swan song for Hammer.

4.0 out of 5 starsHammer say goodbye with excellent take on Satanism
By Colonel Decker on 13 Jan. 2015
Format: DVD
Hammer horror's final film in their classic period is a world away from their early humble gothic offerings. Heavily influenced by the likes of The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby. To the Devil a Daughter is highly entertaining using the right amount of pacing and then the shock factor. This was Hammer's answer to a horror landscape that had changed so much. However one can only wish that Hammer had made these films a little earlier.

It is fitting though that Christopher Lee starred in the last one and predictabily plays the bad guy- he is a real menace in this one and stands out. Richard Widmark plays an author of Satan books who is brought in to protect young Nastassia Kinski. Apparently Widmark was hell to work with on this movie comparing the production like a Mickey Mouse venture. Denholm Elliot excellent as ever also stars, and does Honor Blackman. The cast are good and solid.

The movie's 18 certificate even in this day and age probably comes down to a quick orgy involving Lee and a devil type baby entering Kinski's private parts- she was 15 here and we see full frontal.

The movie has a very interesting atmosphere and is altogether a great effort from Hammer, the only real let down is the rushed climax which everyone involved with didn't like.

To the Devil a Daughter did well at the box office but because EMI provided most of the budgeting, Hammer got to see none of it. Hammer soon went though we did get 2 TV shows in the 80s- and then in the 2000s the film company was revived.

3.0 out of 5 starsAn anti-climactic swansong for Hammer horror
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 22 Dec. 2007
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
To the Devil a Daughter was Hammer's last horror film for several decades before their 21st Century resurrection, but it makes for a less than grand slice of guignol and pales in comparison to their earlier Dennis Wheatley adaptation, The Devil Rides Out. Richard Widmark is the imported American star battling Christopher Lee's Satanist while trying to protect Nastassja Kinski from becoming host to a demon, but despite a few good scenes the film never really makes much of its premise and the ending is one of the biggest anticlimaxes in the history of horror.

The best part of it is the excellent documentary on Anchor Bay's Region 1 NTSC DVD, which is surprisingly frank about the film's shortcomings - including that non-ending - and Richard Widmark's tantrums on the set. Anchor Bay's transfer is also surprisingly good: unlike the cold and slightly shoddy looking TV prints, this really does David Watkins' cinematography a great service.
