Review of The Devil Rides Out (1968) by Neil O — 25 Jun 2009
Arguably one of the best Hammer films ever made if not indeed one of the best horror films ever made. Christopher Lee leads an excellent cast in Terrence Fisher's first class adaption of perhaps Dennis Wheatley's best novel.
Taking out much of the racism and jingosim of the original story and setting the events over a much smaller location, Fisher maintains a relentless pace and the film never once slows or tires. James Bernard's rousing score emphasises the horror.
Pure class.
