From a historical point of view, this is a memorable film as it is the last of the Hammer Studio films. No more films were made by Hammer after this, though they did make two series for TV, and they have recently reopened and are filming a new Hammer Horror. But this film was the last the studio had to offer from their biggest era, and was filmed in1976. It stars Christopher Lee, Richard Widmark, Honer Blackman, Denholm Elliot and Anthony Valentine. It has a fabulous plot, but the execution is such that unfortunately it's not a great film at all. This is something that could have been much better. At the beginning of the film, Father Michael Raynor is being ... Read the complete review

Occult book writer John Verney (Richard Widmark) is visited by the nervous father of a young nun living in Germany. Catherine (Natassja Kinski) is a nun with The Children of the Lord, a weird Catholic order and is allowed once a year to return to England to meet her father (Denholm Elliot) on her birthday. Catherine is taken in by Widmark, but is soon being possessed by the evil Father Michael Rayner (Christopher Lee). He wants her to bear the child of the devil. To the Devil a Daughter is a pretty poor and lacklustre affair that bears very little relation to the excellent earlier Hammer Wheatley adaptation 'The Devil Rides Out'. That film had the charm and ... Read the complete review

A review of the Hammer Collection DVD. This was Hammer's last film. Released in 1976, it was the last gasp of a company that had which had slipped out of fashion as horror trends moved on and they didn't. After this they managed to churn out a TV series, but there were no more real Hammer horrors. The hero, John Verney, is a writer of occult thrillers (the film is based on an occult thriller by Dennis Wheatley). He ends up looking after a young nun, Catherine, who belongs to a church full of stop-at-nothing Satanists. They want her for their own fell purposes, of course, but instead of turning to the church, say, or even the police, Verney is ... Read the complete review
