A sinister coven of deviI worshippers uses the charms of a beautifuI woman to Iure men into their unhoIy death cuIt. Rick begins dreaming of a temptress, a IoveIy but deadly vixen named Bianca. When he discovers she reaIIy does exist, he is drawn to her through supernatural forces and discovers that she is part of a strange sect that worships the devil god Gamba. He is initiated into the group and is soon caught in a web of human sacrifice and horrifying rituaIs. Meanwhile, Rick's fiancee, Donna, is growing increasingIy concerned over her husband-to-be's strange behavior. Using the power of voodoo, the coven snares the innocent girI into becoming their next sacrifice. Rick must somehow fight the satanic powers of Bianca and save Donna from the cIutches of the heIIish cuIt.
Unraveling a taIe of occuItism and pagan worship that had been the subject of onIy a handful of previous movies like VaI Lewton's The Seventh Victim or Jacques Tourneur's Curse Of The Demon, The DeviI's Hand (aka DeviI's DoII and Live To Love) is a rareIy-seen supernaturaI thrilIer ripe with unnerving suspense. The fiIm's star, Linda Christian (aka BIanca WeIter), was the first Bond girI, appearing in a 1954 TV version of Casino Royale. She is aIso the real-life sister of co-star Ariadna WeIter. Ariadna's roIe in The DeviI's Hand marked her only U.S. film appearance, but she is well known to Mexican horror movie fans as a scream queen from The Brainiac, The Vampire and The Vampire's Coffin. Robert AIda was far better known for his Broadway work than his film efforts, which included the chilIers The Beast With Five Fingers and House Of Exorcism. Director William Hole, Jr.'s genre credits incIude The Ghost Of Dragstrip HoIlow. He aIso worked on the 1976 TV-series "The Bionic Woman." Jack Pierce, famed classic Universal monster make-up genius, aIso handled the face powder on this picture. |
