Review of The Devil Rides Out (1968) by The S — 16 Jan 2011
Is Dennis Wheatley the Alistair Maclean of horror ?
This 1968 Hammer horror based on a Dennis Wheatley novel gets off to a sprint start and hardly stops for breath before it hits the finish line. It's amazingly full of magic, effects and action with heavyweight British actors Christopher Lee and Charles Gray clearly relishing their on-screen battle of wills and skills. My only complaint is the telegraphed Deus ex machina ending - but the ending of such an exciting film was always likely to be an anticlimax.
