Leave your thoughts about The Devil Rides Out.
| Sci-Fi Movie PageRob VauxSatanic movies are a pretty silly lot, a handful of exceptions notwithstanding. The Devil Rides Out agrees wholeheartedly with that estimation... and then swiftly proves that "silly" and "scary" aren't necessarily mutually exclusive terms. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanWith Fisher, arguably the auteur of Hammer Studios, behind the camera, and one of its top stars in front of it, the film works on all levels and truly earns its reputation as a classic of British horror. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeReally lame version of the Wheatley novel with laughable effects. |
| Not Coming to a Theater Near YouLeo GoldsmithA curiously self-serious film, almost a message picture about black magic, albeit with great puffs of smoke, a giant spider, and a man in a goat costume |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzI can't recall Christopher Lee being more animated and more enjoyable to watch. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceWitty conceptions jolt Terence Fisher's somber surface |
| User ReviewGrayson DQuite possibly both Hammer and Terence Fishers best film ,which despite the sometimes dodgy special effects, still has the capacity to give you a bit of a a scare . The biggest suprise for most Hammer lovers is that Christopher Lee is on the side of good in this film and very good he is too as the Duc De Richeleau who is determined to save his young friends from the evil clutches of Charles Grays Mocata. The film relies on the good work of these two actors and Fishers knack for knowing what to show and what to hold back on. It also helps that the script by Richard Matheson is a cracking yarn with plenty to keep you interested as it races to its final showdown between the forces of good and evil. The rumour is that the new Hammer films are looking to remake some of the classic Hammer films,they could do a lot worse if they wanted to have a crack at this one although they will have to go a long way to beat it. |
| User ReviewJohannes JExcellent horror movie. Highly recommended. |
| User ReviewSean DOne of the best Hammer films and one of the least cheesy films about devil worshiping and black magic, which is very surprising. |
| User ReviewNeil OArguably 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. |
