Loosely based on a novel by Dennis Wheatley, To The Devil A Daughter was Hammer’s final horror film, offering a tantalizing glimpse of an intriguing new direction.
Christopher Lee stars as Father Michael Rainer, an excommunicated priest who leads a satanic cult called “The Children of the Lord.” Posing as a closed Catholic convent, the cult secretly rears children in the ways of Satan. One of these children, Catherine Beddows (Nastassja Kinski), has a dark destiny: promised to the devil before birth, she is chosen to reign as his representative on earth when she comes of age.
Featuring a dark and brooding performance from Christopher Lee and Nastassja Kinski’s first starring role, To the Devil a Daughter is a disturbing and brutal offering from Hammer Studios, marking their only foray into ‘modern’ horror.
Experience this chilling tale of satanic terror and dark destiny, now available on DVD.
