Loosley based on a novel by DENNIS WHEATLEY, TO THE DEVIL A DAUGHTER was Hammer's final horror film and a tantalising glimpse of an intriguing new direction. CHRISTOPHER LEE stars as Father Michael Rainer, an excommunicated priest who heads a satanic cult called "The Children of the Lord" which hides its dark purpose of rearing innocent children in the ways of Satan, behind a front as a closed Catholic convent. One of his charges, Catherine Beddows (NASTASSJA KINSKI) has a special destiny to fulfil: she was promised to the devil before her birth, chosen to reign as his representative on earth when she comes of age.
Featuring a dark and brooding performance from CHRISTOPHER LEE and NATASSJA KINSKI'S first starring role, TO THE DEVIL A DAUGHTER is disturbing and brutal offering from Hammer Studios, and their only foray into 'modern' horror.
