To the Devil a Daughter

An excommunicated priest wants to use a young girl to awaken the demon Astaroth, but her father calls on an expert in Satanism to protect her. Occult forces try to lure her away in a long-distance duel between Christopher Lee and Richard Widmark for the soul of Natassja Kinski. A feeling of permanent danger permeates the film, recalling sequences from Friedkin’s The Exorcist.
