Christopher Lee stars in this Hammer production as Father Michael, an excommunicated priest out to do the Devil's work. Having entered into a pact with the Dark One, Father Michael has agreed to secure a beautiful young virgin (Nastassja Kinski) to become Satan's child-bride. However, when an occult writer (Widmark) discovers the evil Father's plan, he lies his way into Father Michael's cult to save the young girl from bearing Satan's spawn. Mr. Lee turns in one of his finest performances in this controversial shocker that turned out to be Hammer's final horror film. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

A rather lame answer to Rosemary's Baby and The Omen, probably interesting only for fans of Christopher Lee and B-movies of various kinds.

La monja poseída es prácticamente el canto del cisne de Hammer Films. Es una sólida película de género con un reparto impresionante (Richard Widmark X Christopher Lee = bomba), pero la disfruté más por sus dos primeros tercios, cuando la atmósfera oscura está bien construida, que por el final, que se siente terriblemente apresurado y termina de forma del todo anticlimática. Poner un giro memorable al final estaría bien.

I don't think the British-German film To the Devil a Daughter deserves that much criticism, because there's definitely a lot of good to be found in it. Yes, the story isn't original and can seem a bit long-winded at times, but the final unravelling is brilliantly shot, including the excellent visuals. The performances of the two male leads only underscore the fact that this film is watchable.
