Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault It's like a standard '70s TV movie, only with occasional nudity and whipping and nude whipping.

Logan D A museum curator (Selleck) purchases a painting of three witches being burned at the stake, one of whom bears a striking resemblance to his wife. An interesting premise mired by a plodding story and average acting. It is only of note that this was Selleck's first starring role. A Magnum completist might find it of interest but I expected better from someone named Hollingsworth. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Audience Member Even in 1972, Tom Selleck had a wicked mustache. This film has a decent set up for a story about witches, which is a horror film subject that rarely goes well. Selleck is a art dealer who buys a painting depicting a witch burning because one of the witches in the painting bears a strong resemblance to his wife. This sets off a mystery as to his wife and his own ancestral connections to witchcraft and from there the film also gets progressively sillier and sillier. The only reason to watch this film is to see a young, before-he-was-famous Selleck, who even in this dreck demonstrates his on-screen charisma that would later make him a star. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 31 of 31 #15 DAUGHTERS OF SATAN - boy, where to start. This movie has Magnum P.I himself Tom Selleck on what I understand is his first starring role - I would like to say that alone is worth checking this flick out but man...this one is just painful. We start with a satanic ritual where an Asian girl is getting tortured and being demanded to say some words in a satanic ritual....this scene I seen a thousand times on other movies with the words OF SATAN at the end of the title. Magnum P.I play an art collector who bumps into a painting of some witches getting burned at the stake....one of them looks awfully similar to his wife....so he buys the painting and shows it to his wife who has a very unusual reaction to the painting, she doesn't like it. I could go on about this flick but it has to be seen, Tom Selleck is acting is so amusing as I am not sure if he is good or bad good lol. Check this only if you like this kind of flicks Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member prv film na Tom Selleck :) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This was pretty strange, I'll give it that for sure. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member 61% The only things that truely stoodout: Two scenes in witch, topless women are hung above sharpened bits of bamboo and whipped (who's your master?), while a group of strange satanic folk watched. And the end of the movie. Thankfully, the story took place in the city of Manila, of the Philippines, witch gave the film a differnt texture, then the usaull New England or Euro feel.
