The Verdict

Two married couples, who set off on a journey in their camper, accidentally end up witnessing a diabolical ritual. The sect's followers try to eliminate them, but the little group manages to escape in time and alert the police, who however do not pay them any attention.

The sect's followers try to eliminate them, but the little group manages to escape in time and alert the police, who however do not pay them any attention. They will try to get by on their own, but when the nightmare finally seems over... Directed by actor-director Jack Starrett (famous for having directed, among others, several episodes of two highly successful TV series like "Starsky & Hutch" and "Planet of the Apes") and starring Peter Fonda, "In corsa con il Diavolo" is a film halfway between horror and drama. The screenplay and settings suffer from the low budget available for the film's production, which only saves itself from the "B-movie" category thanks to a fairly good final twist.

Get your motors running, get out on the highway. Because Old Nick is coming to get yah!

Race with the Devil is directed by Jack Starrett and written by Wes Bishop and Lee Frost. It stars Peter Fonda, Warren Oates, Loretta Swit, Lara Parker and R.G. Armstrong. A Panavision/ DeLuxe Colour production, music is by Leonard Rosenman and cinematography by Robert Jessop.

Two vacationing couples have to flee for their lives when they witness a ritualistic slaying by occultists.

Great fun. A raging "B" movie for the 70s drive-in crowd that tapped into the decades new found taste for the occult and highway speeding. Film is cloaked with a paranoia vibe as our two frantic couples desperately try to stay out of the clutches of Satanists. Life and death confrontations come and go, and as they are never sure who is in league with the hooded blood drinkers, they have to assume that they alone must fight the good fight. It all builds to a crescendo of exciting vehicle carnage, which in turn leads to the final denouement, which quite frankly is frustratingly brilliant. Oates and Fonda entertain with brisk and airy performances, though Swit and Parker are really only directed to be screaming banshees waiting to be saved by their burly men.

Best served with lashings of Bourbon and Coke, and not designed to be scrutinised for moral or ethical worth, just enjoy the ride and try and stay one step ahead of Old Nick. 8/10
