‘This is the hand of terror!’
The Devil’s Hand is a 1961 released supernatural horror film about a man haunted by visions of a beautiful woman. When he finally meets her, he winds up involved in a Satanic cult.

The movie was directed by William J. Hole Jr. (Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow; US footage for Face of Terror) in 1959 from a screenplay by Jo Heims (Play Misty for Me; You’ll Like My Mother). It was produced by Rex Carlton (The Brain That Wouldn’t Die; Nightmare in Wax; Blood of Dracula’s Castle).

The movie stars Linda Christian, Robert Alda, Ariadne Welter (The Vampire; The Vampire’s Coffin; The Brainiac), Neil Hamilton, Jeanne Carmen (The Monster of Piedras Blancas), Bruno VeSota (The Undead; A Bucket of Blood; Attack of the Giant Leeches).

The film features a delightfully cheesy surf guitar-saxophone-piano theme by Baker Knight. In the USA, The Devil’s Hand was distributed by Crown International Pictures.

Plot:
Rick Turner is engaged to Donna Trent but is having nightmares involving a beautiful blonde woman who appears to be dancing in the sky. One night, he is mysteriously driven to enter 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 “Devil-god of Evil” Gamba, while the health of Donna is threatened by Francis and Bianca. Francis Lamont, the “High Executioner” of the sect, threatens various members of the cult via his voodoo powers, which are also used upon a journalist who infiltrates the sect…
