Very well executed

Absolutely amazing

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

THE DEVIL'S DAUGHTER opens w/ a death, a funeral, and the introduction of Diane Shaw (Belinda Montgomery). Diane's mother, Alice (Diane Ladd) was killed under bizarre circumstances, and her sister, Lilith (Shelley Winters- WHOEVER SLEW AUNTIE ROO?, WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HELEN?) meets Diane after the funeral, and invites her to stay w/ her for a while. Diane soon meets Lilith's odd assortment of "friends", along w/ her totally silent chauffeur / companion, Mr. Howard (Jonathan Frid- TV's DARK SHADOWS). When she decides to move into an apartment w/ a woman her own age, Lilith takes it... badly. Later, Diane attends one of Lilith's parties, where she winds up dancing the Mamooshca w/ Abe Vigoda! Actually, it's Diane's "coming out" party, so to speak. Then, oops-y daisy! Diane's new roommate has a little "accident"! Now, her boyfriend, Steve (Robert Foxworth- THE ASTRAL FACTOR, PROPHECY) is available! In a jiffy, wedding bells could be ringing! Unfortunately, there's a big surprise awaiting Diane. One of the better made-for-TV horror movies, TDD fits right in w/ the other satanic classics of the time. There's definitely a ROSEMARY'S BABY-type feeling of paranoia / dread to it. Co-stars Joseph Cotten as Judge Weatherby...

If you decide to see "The Devil's Daughter" on YouTube, like I did, be aware that the picture is VERY pink and blurry. It's best watched on a small screen (such as your computer) and as for the pink...well, I guess we're stuck with it unless there's another copy out there somewhere.When her mother dies, Diane (Belinda Montgomery) is befriended by Lilith (Shelly Winters) who says she is one of her mother's old friends. She invites Diane to live with her and soon she agrees. But Lilith is a weird lady and so are her very odd friends...and Diane is naturally very creeped out by them. So, she moves out and gets a roommate--but she starts having weird dreams. She also is invited to a party at Lilith's home--and she soon discovers these new friends are all Satan worshipers. They also inform her that she's to be wedded to some demon...and not surprisingly, Diane thinks they're all a bunch of nuts. This is exactly the sort of plot that "The ABC Movie of the Week" did best--and the number of odd, supernatural films they made is huge. Think about it...films about alien impregnation, monsters living in the chimney, aliens turning folks into mindless zombies and witchcraft were the sorts of subjects of many of their productions...so "The Devil's Daughter" seems like a natural! It's creepy, strange and a lot of fun to watch. Not exactly a must see but it sure fits the bill if you want a bit of a fright.

Well...it seems to me that this film has got something of a better reception than it deserves, but even so; The Devil's Daughter is a more than adequate made for TV story of devil worship. The film takes obvious influence from the likes of Rosemary's Baby as it features a largely innocent character finding herself in the world of demons and their worshippers. The plot focuses on Diane Shaw; a young woman who returns home for her mothers' funeral and is then adopted by a friend of her mother, who also happens to be a devil worshipper. To say any more than that would give too much away, so I won't. The runtime is very short at just 72 minutes, and as such; the film does feel more than a little underdone. However, the just about good enough to hold the audience's attention until the end, which is lucky because The Devil's Daughter's strongest element is its twist ending. The twist at the end is likely to be the only thing you'll remember about the film, and although I wouldn't say it's worth sitting through the entire movie just to see the twist - if you want an example of a made for TV horror movie, you could certainly do a lot worse than this. However, if you want a better version of a similar plot - check out Michele Soavi's excellent 'The Sect'!

From 1973 and obviously ROSEMARY'S BABY inspired,this has a great cast:Shelley Winters,Belinda Montgomery,Robert Foxworth,Joseph Cotton,and Jonathan"Barnabas"Frid as a mute butler.The 70s tv devil movies are all creepy.Very eerie in atmosphere with a young and pretty Diane attending her mother's funeral where she meets a very friendly Lillith who offers the girl a place when she lears Diane has nowhere to go.Unknown to Diane was that her mother used to be in a satanic cult with Lillith and her daughter was wanted by the cult.Diane discovers the truth,but,of course,too late.With a great spooky ending you'll never forget,TDDD is a neat little slice of tv horror.
