One of my all time favorites.
... View MoreWhen a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreThe Plot.Rick Turner is engaged of Donna Trent and is having nightmares with a beautiful blonde woman dancing in the sky. One night, he is mysteriously driven to a doll shop, and in the next morning he returns to the place with Donna. He finds a doll that resembles his fiancé, but the owner Francis Lamont delivers another doll to him, with the face of the woman of his dreams, Bianca Milan. Rick looks for Bianca and is seduced and convinced by her to join a sect that worships the diabolic Camba, while the health of Donna is threatened by Francis and Bianca.Odd small film with Alan Alda's father. Reminds me of something you'd see on Twilight Zone only longer. And it shows. It's rather slow with lots of unnecessary filler.
... View MoreThe Devil's Hand is a pretty weak story and has quite a lot of questions to answer. Rick Turner (Robert Alda) is a man who starts having visions of Bianca Milan (Linda Christian) in his dreams. These visions and a force bring him to a doll store where he meets Francis Lamont (Neil Hamilton) who runs the store and is the leader of a devil worshiping cult. When Rick meets Milan in person, he is quickly drawn into the cult without actually thinking of how it might affect his life in the long run. Honestly it's really hard to care about what's happening to him making this a bore. The acting is decent but the story is not really interesting. Guy sees a pretty woman in his dreams, which leads him to a cult, and then drives him out of town. That's the story in a nutshell. It's a pretty funny Rifftrax, but the movie itself is boring and honestly it feels longer than it really is.
... View MoreGood find in the 50-pack Drive-in Collection. This one is a good old fashioned horror film. It's not a blood and guts film like we have today. The film is just a good older horror film. I'm very glad they added this gem to the 50-pack.Rick has dreams of a woman named Bianca but is engaged to Donna. Rick becomes strangely hypnotized by his dreams of Bianca and seeks her out. She seduces him into a cult that worships Camba. Donna becomes sick and is in the hospital by the wicked cult leader Francis and his Bianca. Can Rick snap out of it? Can Rick save himself and Donna? This is a worthwhile film. It's not the greatest horror film from the 1960s but it's a good one.6/10
... View MoreThis Crown-International movie is a really tough slog to go through, even though the running time is only seventy-one minutes long. Before I get to why the movie simply does not work, I will admit that the movie has a little merit here and there. While the budget was obviously rock bottom, the filmmakers managed to squeeze every last penny out of the limited funds. The movie is well lit, well photographed, and with acceptable set dressing.Unfortunately, the filmmakers simply didn't have a good script to work with. The movie is filled with endless scenes of characters talking. This results in the movie sorely lacking in horror sequences. And the few horror sequences that do happen are extremely tame. I think that even audiences back in 1961 would have thought that this movie was soft stuff, so I can only imagine what modern day horror fans would think of this toothless movie.
