It's the most over-directed exploitation movie I've seen in a long time -- it attempts to squeeze in so many subplots and parallel bits of action that finally we're left scratching our heads and wondering who the characters are.

...the wrong selection of weapon, club or instrument by the Hammer executives, but..a fun ride for horror specialists...

Even if the film before the ending had been an unmatched triumph, it would still have to contend with how deeply crass, tacky, and anti-climactic the last couple of reels are.

To the Devil a Daughter is a fitting tribute to a legendary horror production slate and one that fans new and old should seek out.
