A sinister coven of devil worshippers uses the charms of a beautiful woman to lure men into their unhoIy death cult. Rick begins dreaming of a temptress, a lovely but deadIy vixen named Bianca. When he discovers she really 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 rituals. 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 Devil'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 Welter), was the first Bond girI, appearing in a 1954 TV version of Casino Royale. She is aIso the real-Iife 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 Alda was far better known for his Broadway work than his film efforts, which incIuded the chilIers The Beast With Five Fingers and House Of Exorcism. Director WiIIiam HoIe, Jr.'s genre credits incIude The Ghost Of Dragstrip HolIow. He also worked on the 1976 TV-series "The Bionic Woman." Jack Pierce, famed cIassic UniversaI monster make-up genius, also handIed the face powder on this picture. |
