The Devil's Daughter (1974)

Attending the funeral of her estranged mother (Diane Ladd), a young woman (Belinda J. Montgomery) meets a wealthy woman (Shelley Winters) who was an old friend of her mother. The woman invites the girl to stay at her home for awhile. But the strange behavior of the people around her indicate something's not right. Not right indeed for her dark fate is sealed. Written by Colin Higgins (9 TO 5) and directed by Jeannot Szwarc (SOMEWHERE IN TIME). This horror movie is rather silly but not without entertainment value. Montgomery is a deadly dull ingenue but Winters' delicious over the top acting compensates. No real surprises here but I liked the fatalistic ending. Fans of B horror fodder should enjoy. With Joseph Cotten, Robert Foxworth, Martha Scott, Jonathan Frid and Abe Vigoda.
