Not quite the insane road rage flick I was expecting to see, but still entertaining.

March 19, 2008This movie just feels inconsequential. It is mentally tiring to try and come up with anything to say about this movie other than there's a few cool shots, it's a very standard 'went down the wrong road story', and I think it has got some tense moments, but overall it's nothing im... read more

January 2, 2008Another 70's flick with a unique and totally whacked concept which leaves you highly entertained. This is a great thriller with a psychotic ending which you would never guess!

July 14, 2007Amusingly ridiculous horror that sees an RV full of middle class yuppies terrorized by a satanic cult in Texas. Kind of a cross between Duel, The Wicker Man and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it's very dated and silly, which is the main reason why it entertains!

October 18, 2010"Race With the Devil" is not a classic movie perhaps, but a decent little slow budget satanic thriller from the 70's with some very tense moments and a few spectacular car chases.

January 22, 2012Cool 70s flick with two of the biggest drive-in stars of the time: Peter Fonda and Warren Oates. Very pulp-ish story with the two on vacation with their wives and then running for their lives after witnessing a satanic cult sacrifice a woman in the woods. Crazy shit.

February 8, 2011Gave this a re-watch recently, holds up really well and achieves a nice little paranoid vibe during its running time, even if it does end with something of a whimper rather than an actual climax.
Two couples run afoul of Satanists while camping, then spend the next few days on t... read more -
April 11, 2010Everything you need in a movie. A satanic cult, high speed chases, hot bitches and Peter Fonda (a hot bitch as well). Very original film for being a high budget mid-70's horror film, seems like it could have been played at the grindhouse theatre run or in mainstream theatres. eit... read more

August 13, 2008Race With The Devil is the perfect drive-in movie. It's got action, car chases, scares, romance...just everything! It was much better than I expected, and actually kind of scary. Overall a good horror movie.

June 13, 2008Holy crap this movie was slow, but holy crap the ending totally made up for it! It spent way too much time trying to create a supposed "atmosphere" when really it was just padding out a concept that you can't do at 90 minutes for a low budget. Definitely one of Starret's better f... read more
