Rick begins dreaming of a temptress, a lovely but deadly 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 increasingly concerned over her husband-to-be's strange behavior. Using the power of voodoo, the coven snares the innocent girl into becoming their next sacrifice. Rick must somehow fight the satanic powers of Bianca and save Donna from the clutches of the hellish cult.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnraveling a tale of occultism and pagan worship that had been the subject of only a handful of previous movies like Val Lewton's \u003ci\u003eThe Seventh Victim\u003c\/i\u003e or Jacques Tourneur's \u003ci\u003eCurse Of The Demon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Devil's Hand\u003c\/i\u003e (aka \u003ci\u003eDevil's Doll\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLive To Love\u003c\/i\u003e) is a rarely-seen supernatural thriller ripe with unnerving suspense. The film's star, Linda Christian (aka Blanca Welter), was the first Bond girl, appearing in a 1954 TV version of \u003ci\u003eCasino Royale\u003c\/i\u003e. She is also the real-life sister of co-star Ariadne Welter. Ariadne's role in \u003ci\u003eThe Devil's Hand\u003c\/i\u003e marked her only U.S. film appearance, but she is well known to Mexican horror movie fans as a scream queen from \u003ci\u003eThe Vampire\u003c\/i\u003e (1957), \u003ci\u003eThe Vampire's Coffin\u003c\/i\u003e (1958) and \u003ci\u003eThe Brainiac\u003c\/i\u003e (1962). Robert Alda was far better known for his Broadway work than his film efforts, which included \u003ci\u003eThe Beast With Five Fingers\u003c\/i\u003e (1946), \u003ci\u003eThe House of Exorcism\u003c\/i\u003e (1975) and \u003ci\u003eSpider-Man Strikes Back\u003c\/i\u003e (1978). He is the father of actor Alan Alda. Neil Hamilton had a long career in Hollywood, rising to fame after his role in \u003ci\u003eThe White Rose\u003c\/i\u003e (1923) and was for a time D.W. Griffith's preferred leading man. Today he is best remembered for playing Commissioner Gordon on the \u003ci\u003eBatman\u003c\/i\u003e TV series (1966-1968). Jack Pierce, famed classic Universal monster make-up genius, also handled the face powder on this picture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha Video","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":45802722099350,"sku":"089218849199","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9621\/5446\/files\/089218849199.jpg?v=1762201706","url":"https:\/\/moviezyng.com\/products\/the-devils-hand-retro-cover-art","provider":"Movie Zyng","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
