Summary: A boring horror film...
Review: I sat through this all the way to the end, and I was bored stiffless. The acting was hammy and the f/x and plot were laughable. Sure its a classic, sure its 'Hammer' but who cares? This film won't appeal to the new age of horror fans. Give this film a miss. But if you like your horror corny, then this is your film.

Summary: Recommended
Review: I'm delighted to have this film on video (considering how rarely it's been shown on TV). Now, if only I could find the novel!"The Devil Rides Out" is wonderfully atmospheric, effective, and entertaining. Christopher Lee and Charles Gray do a particularly good job, though I was disappointed by the very poor acting on the part of Nike Arrighi (no doubt a "friend" of the producer, Anthony Nelson-Keys). Three final comments: First, unlike most reviewers, I wasn't at all turned off by the infamous spider sequence. Second, the pious, convenient, all's-well-that-ends-well finale cost the movie its fifth star. Third, while I appreciate having both the UK and US theatrical trailers following the film, it behooves me to point out that they're identical! Not a big deal; in fact, rather quaint and amusing. Anyway, as my title says: Recommended. P.S. Who's Rosalyn Landor?

Summary: A Super tale of the devil with veteran Chris Lee
Review: My favourite movie of Christopher Lee is the knockout Wickerman ( also happens to be his favourite film!!), but this one is my second favourite and a really super non-Dracula tale from Hammer,
Adapted from the book by Dennis Wheatley. Lee ( in a role that generally went to Peter Cushing) plays Richlea, a dapper man with deep knowledge of the esoteric, join forces with a war buddy to save the son of their old friend. The young man, played to perfection by Patrick Mower, has fallen into the clutches oth Mocata(Charles Gray played with particular power and menace) is a high priest to a Devil Cult that has their sites set on Mower and his fortune. An excellent struggle of good vs evil that is tautly written, directed and acted, guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat and one you will want to view again and again.

Summary: Great supernatural thriller from Matheson & Fisher
Review: One of Terry Fisher's finest films as director, The Devil Rides Out also features one of Richard Matheson's best screenplays. Matheson has great material to work with from author Dennis Wheatly. The writing is, like most of Matheson's work, crisp and powerful. Casting Christopher Lee against type (for a change)was a bright move. Lee makes the most out of his character and it's nice to see him be the good guy for once (although he does play bad sooo well). Charles Gray also gives a tremendous performance as the head of the Devil worshipping cult. Terry Fisher directed a lot of fine films during his career at Hammer but none equalled Devil. Although this wasn't his swan song, it could have been since everything is just about perfect. The production values are terrific. A pity that the special effects weren't as sophisticated then as they are now. Then again they would probably sacrifice everything else just for the effects (a problem with so many current supernatural films). The audio commentary is very informative and Lee is a delight throughout. He's full of interesting information about everything from the title sequence to the production design. A pity that Warner Brothers chose not to hire him for the audio commentary for The Mummy. Maybe they'll realize their mistake and hire him for Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula when they make them available (better get cracking guys Chris is getting up there a bit in age). The extras are up to the usual standard we've come to expect from Anchor and Bay--great! I've always loved their reproduction of the lobby cards that they've included in the packaging. It makes each DVD a unique collectible. A pity Warner won't license Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula (they really should--they have so many titles to reissue that I'm afraid these two will get lost in the shuffle). Anchor and Bay could do a terrific job with these two titles as they have with all the Hammer titles they've licensed.

Summary: Realistic
Review: The Devil Rides Out contains true depictions of unholy blasphemy, as well as of good triumphing over evil which parallel real life. Having read Christopher Lee's tremendous autobiography, I have a keen understanding of why the part of Duc de Richleau suits him perfectly. Mr. Lee founded Charlemagne, a film company ahead of its time, dedicated to exposing the truth about evil. He is a true believer of Christianity's power to eradicate evil; it seeps from his every pore. The Devil Rides Out exposes evil for the insubstantial force that it is. Watch for actual exorcism prayers read aloud, as Mr. Lee demonstrates how the power of prayer will remove evil from our very midst.

Summary: Hammer at it's BEST - Superb DVD
Review: THE DEVIL RIDES OUT is Hammer horror at it's best and Anchor Bay's DVD is a gem. Christopher Lee and Charles Gray battle it out (and put their all into their roles) in a very entertaining satanic tale of good vs. evil. Although some of the effects are dated and some of the dialog can invoke a chuckle here and there, the film is still very solid and engrossing. The moment early on where the demonic spirit of a black man with glowing yellow eyes appears is still very creepy and effective...easily one of the scariest moments in any Hammer film ever. So when the movie's creepy, it's fun...and when it's a bit hokey or campy, it's fun as well. The DVD includes the US and UK trailers --- almost identical except the title of the film and the UK trailer blacks out parts of the image (like the spider)! There is also a commentary track by Christopher Lee and actress Sarah Lawson. Lee, who had a BIG hand in getting this film made at the time, is understandably very knowledgeable about satanism-witchcraft, Wheatley's book and the film itself. It's an interesting track and a great testimony to Hammer. It is sad that Peter Cushing never had a chance to do a commentary for any of his Hammer roles. Anyway, this is great Saturday afternoon viewing...you can't go wrong here!
