You know the sad old tale: Satanic cult breeds a bride for their master Astaroth, influence and control her life subtly, make her successful, but lonely. Until The Boy comes along and the two of them fall in love. So our poor battered satanists have to do their worst to keep the two apart. Tragically neither accidents nor friendly suggestions nor hypnosis nor subtle seduction really do much more than keep them apart for a short time. At least the bride stays as virginal as the master wants. Finally The Boy -a good Catholic- seeks the help of a meddling priest and keeps poor Satan single for another hundred years.
A dreary and boring TV movie that tries to imitate Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist, only without being unacceptable for anyone but certain Satanists, or without being interesting.
Old Hammer writer Jimmy Sangster probably wrote the script in a thirty minute lunch break. It could be the right movie for the time when insomnia strikes, though.
