Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
loveablejohn-26233 This movie was good overall with a good script and the actors were good in their roles as well. It also had good cinematography and some intense scenes especially when a pin is stuck in a doll and the person that the doll represents reacts to the pain which is why I gave it 7 stars.
kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** Off the wall horror movie about this Devil Cullt called Gamba that poor out of work and trying to get back on his feet Rick Turner played by Robert Alda, Alphonso Giusseppe Giovanni Roberto D'Abruzzo, ends up joining against his better judgment. It was the girl of Rick's dreams Bianca Milan, Linda Christian, that got him to join the cult so he could get to know as well as be close to her. That despite his girlfriend Donna Trent, Arindna Welter, trying to get him to see the danger he as well as she's facing in him being connected in this evil Devil Cult.Run by doll maker Francis Lamont, Neil Hamilton, the cult is obligated by it's master The Great and All Knowing Gamba to perform a human sacrifice once a month when the moon is full. With Nick now up to his neck in this Devil Cult business he's soon picked by Lamont to perform the monthly human sacrifice on non other then his girlfriend Donna or, if he chickens out, be sacrificed in her place. It's when Lamont is about to sacrifice Donna, after Rick refused, that all hell breaks loose with Rick setting the place, Gamba Central, on fire and together with Donna running for their lives as the place burns down.****SPOILERS**** In the end we get to see that the Devil Cult or at least Bianca survived the carnage with her again about to haunt Rick's dreams and get him under her control like she did before. As for Lamont and th cult members they seemed to have perished in the flames but no bodies were ever found so we can expect a return visit, like that from Bianca, from them in the very near future for an encore!
fjaye "The Devil's Hand" is a slick little B-film that moves at an amazingly fast clip. Don't look for deep characterizations, or explorations of motives, or anything else that would make the story stumble.This flick takes itself seriously. It's established at the outset that the Gamba cult is real, and several scenes indicate that it has actual power. And there's never a nudge or wink from any of the characters to indicate otherwise.The acting may not be top-notch, but it's credible enough. The opening theme is quite cool, too, and would be a good addition to a surf rock collection; unfortunately, it's never identified.And the overall theme is still relevant today—how easy it can be to get sucked into a cult (religious, political, philosophical—take your pick) because of one's hopes of improving his lot. Look at the worshipers; by and large they look just like you'n'me. No wild-eyed zealots, no borderline personalities, just…ordinary people.My only real quibble is the casting of Neil Hamilton as the villain. He seems to have been rather a one-note talent; his demeanor throughout the movie, whether fronting the doll shop or presiding over potential human sacrifice, is rather bland. Or maybe I just can't accept Commissioner Gordon being on the wrong side of the law!
David Traversa I'm truly dismay when I read raving reviews about garbage like this. I don't have in my English vocabulary any word low enough to qualify this product.Starting with that awful musical tune that opens the picture that seems to last forever, the very basic typeface used for the titles until the first "vision" of Alda in bed when he sees a woman dancing alone under a moonlight effect dressed in a flowing deshabillé... and apparently floating in midair someplace in Alda's room, I said "until" because that was the scene where I switched off this... movie.My patience ended there.I don't have the will power or the time to watch this kind of junk.
