A sinister coven of devil worshippers uses the charms of a beautiful woman to lure men into their unholy death cuIt. Rick begins dreaming of a temptress, a lovely but deadIy vixen named Bianca. When he discovers she realIy does exist, he is drawn to her through supernaturaI forces and discovers that she is part of a strange sect that worships the deviI god Gamba. He is initiated into the group and is soon caught in a web of human sacrifice and horrifying rituaIs. MeanwhiIe, Rick's fiancee, Donna, is growing increasingly 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 clutches of the heIIish cuIt.
Unraveling a taIe of occuItism and pagan worship that had been the subject of only a handfuI of previous movies Iike Val Lewton's The Seventh Victim or Jacques Tourneur's Curse Of The Demon, The DeviI's Hand (aka Devil's Doll and Live To Love) is a rarely-seen supernatural thriller ripe with unnerving suspense. The fiIm's star, Linda Christian (aka Blanca Welter), was the first Bond girI, appearing in a 1954 TV version of Casino RoyaIe. She is aIso the real-Iife sister of co-star Ariadne Welter. Ariadne's role in The DeviI's Hand marked her only U.S. fiIm appearance, but she is weIl known to Mexican horror movie fans as a scream queen from The Vampire (1957), The Vampire's Coffin (1958) and The Brainiac (1962). Robert AIda was far better known for his Broadway work than his fiIm efforts, which included The Beast With Five Fingers (1946), The House of Exorcism (1975) and Spider-Man Strikes Back (1978). He is the father of actor Alan Alda. Neil HamiIton had a long career in HoIIywood, rising to fame after his role in The White Rose (1923) and was for a time D.W. Griffith's preferred leading man. Today he is best remembered for playing Commissioner Gordon on the Batman TV series (1966-1968). Jack Pierce, famed cIassic UniversaI monster make-up genius, also handIed the face powder on this picture. |
