To The Devil A Daughter 1976.

A novelist and expert on the occult must try and prevent a girl from being baptised by a satanic order.

Based on Dennis Wheatley book, Hammer Horror brings the book to life and sadly the end of a era with Hammer films. Christopher Lee plays the fallen priest Father Michael who dabbled with Satan and promised him a daughter. Richard Widmark (The Swarm) plays novelist John Verney who is asked to protect a young girl Catherine played by Nastassja Kinkski who was born into the occult. Denholm Elliott plays Catherine's father and a nice appearance by Honor Blackman.

Aside from having a great actors who perform brilliantly the film does lack the usual gothic atmosphere associated with Hammer but does have tense moments, up until the end where it seemed very rushed, aside from that it was a decent made film from a great book 7 out of 10.
